I had a serious conversation with wife yesterday. She says she cannot trust me for spending. I explained, if you don't want to have the conversation, won't consider what I love, fine end of conversation. I will do what I want. Therefore, you can trust me to do what I love to do. Just like before we got married: in bachelor pad, my kitchen table had a Gonset Sidewinder and other ham related stuff. I had to push it off to the side to use the table. Then we got married. Then I continued interest in the hobby after we left the next apartment and 1st home and moved to the second. I kept 2 meter mobile to that point, but I had a tech license and 2 meter FM was super active. To answer her objections: what didn't you understand that I have been licensed from 1960 and had the equipment on my kitchen table in the apartment and when you married me you would think I would give up the hobby? I think she is very close to giving up her objections after 43 years. :-)

See what I am missing because I only have one HF radio? Can't get Momma to understand this.... I "need" a KX3 and a KX2 to go with my K3s... One in the shack, one in the truck, and one for backpacking and/or backup when I send them in for updates y'all won't let me do. :-D ??... How do you make a 1000-watt QSO with 8-watts out on a dipole? I've been looking for that very loophole in the laws of physics ALL MY LIFE! ;-) Building a tri-band 6m/2m/70cm vertical dipole.... Trying to figure out how to build in ability to rotate from vert to horizontal so I can use the same antenna on SSB, etc.. Maybe I'll just grab a multi-element 6m quad and put it up, too. 73, ______________________ Clay Autery, KY5G MONTAC Enterprises (318) 518-1389 On 6/5/2017 1:54 PM, Wayne Burdick wrote: > Just made a couple of 1000-watt QSOs around 50.125 (SSB and CW).
