Ham Radio Operator KI7F checks Into a Denver 2 mtr FM net

[SeeYouNextFall]

The Denver HAM's are a great group of folks.

Thanks for posting the video!

[toonsis]

I listen in with my Sat 800 all the time in the southern NY area

[toobroke2fight]

If I was just listening to the net to see if I want to get involved I would appreciate all the Freq's and info hes talking about! It seems like you dont care about that stuff, but I would want to know alternate Freq's and what repeaters are around, and where to get auto patch. I think control is doing a good job! 73's Joe

[Ryan354NY]

that net controller sure talks too much, but i see you were starting to get impatient, don't blame ya, i would be getting impatient too. its like, just get to checkins already!

i was born in aurora!!! now live in missouri and soon to be amateur operator

[kg4zyz]

What is the make and model of that receiver in the background??

[Philovideo]

That receiver in the background is a Grundig Satellit 800 general coverage communication receiver. It is suppose to be a 'portable', but it is kind of large for a carry around portable radio! The circuitry of that radio is designed after the Drake SW8 receiver that came out a few years ago.

Saludos desde MVD Uruguay Nelson operador de la CX1BAD en 145.670 Mhz muy buen video muchos exitos.

[snikliw87]

how did you know when to transmit so you don't key up with someone?

[AG4NK]

It must take along awhile in there traffics.

Before check in net.

Check me in from AG4NK of Talladega,Ala.

im a newbie to this, but i have been collecting equiptment and hopefully soon ill be doing the sanme as you guys. so far i have bought a astron 20-a to power a 80w amp made from KLF(80w VHF power ampilfier) i know i got a longway to go. but im working on it.

[Organgrinder010]

Good video! One of my favorite things to do at night is pick up on this kind of activity. I restore old tube sets, such as the Hallicrafters boat-anchors. Though they don't perform nearly as well as these new digital sets, they are just fun to use. Thanks for this.

[derrell445]

The Internet and Cell Phones took the thrill

out of amateur radio, except 75M -WS0H

[F41Driver]

Sounds like amateur radio is a bit more popular and interesting in Denver than it is here in Houston.

73s

[proteron]

Indeed.

[jaworskij]

You sound exausted guy. Speak with more enthusiasm... K7AGE does good intros to stuff.

[Philovideo]

Yea, I was really tired and groggy that Sunday morning! I was kind of conducting a test with my Sony DSC-H2 still camera in MPEG video mode and thought I would post it up here to Youtube just for the heck of it.

[brit2can]

Hi Bill, I enjoyed watching your video Bill. There's not many people out there that could make a video about such a mundane subject as checking into a local repeater net, and making it funny.

You should have being in the movies Bill!!

i like your faces they make me laugh, but yeah thats must be a fun thing to do what you do cus ive always wanted a ham radio and im going to high school so mabey after a while ill get my license, oh well talk later, nice vid

[pcmanjon]

It's just 15 bucks!

[kc7fys]

This video is amazing. If you had set out to make an avante garde theater piece, it couldn't have been more surreal.

Excellent--thanks for the demonstration.

[Key2Be]

Hi,

can you tell me the appoximate range of a 50 watt 2m and 70 cm Ham radio. Without repeaters . Planing on installing one in my truck/mobile antennae.

I'm moving up from 11m ssb use , and looking for a more releyable communication mode.

The scenery consists mostly of rolling hills(~150 feet) and deep forrest.

Thanks,

Erik

[Gudtime]

Just like checking into a Local Net Here.. however we have an 1/8 or less of your Checkin's.. Will give you a call next time I am in the area.. my 'Big Sis' lives in Longmont! 73 de VE6CPP

[randytooth]

Bill Wolverton reminds me of that actor from "I, Claudius" - George Jacobi LOL! All Billy needs now is a TOGA and leafy crown!

[carpediem37]

FYI- that actor's name is Derek Jacobi. Not George.

very nice video 73s and best dx from YO3BR edy bucharest romania

[samsomiller]

this video is not a waste of time

[tyuiopbnm]

Bill,

I don't see the point of this video. The waste of time the net control is producing is self servicing to say the least.

[erod1944]

Maybe you're just a dork and dont need to see the point. Is this Possible?

[K7AGE]

Keep making videos. Randy

Thanks for sharing. 73 de SV2EVS
