Well, the Jack Daniels part sounds okay, but the rest would be kinda
hard to digest, wouldn't it?

Due to 'operator error' (must be a short circuit between the mic and the
operators chair) I find I don't need to do anything to the current
antenna situation, save for making sure the SWR bridge (out of the
transmitter, into the tuner, out to balanced feed-line) is connected to
the proper coax
When using plastic outside be sure it is UV resistant. Black is usually best
but it may also act as a conductor at RF.
One source for excellent freebies is your local glass shop. Ask for scrap
pieces of plexiglass/lexan as used in windows and doors. Use a sabre or band
saw to cut and double

That is a closely kept secret by the guy who told me. He insists it has
something to do with SWR.
How could I disagree with this gentleman who is DXCC.
He does tell me that the rest of the bottle is drunk shortly after stringing
up the open-wire as a kind of ritualistic ceremony. You can

When they give that much control over them to allow you to make them angry
it's signal that we are being heard and its an uncomfortable feeling.
I agree about the characterizations, as we have many AM operators out here
on the Left Coast in every age group.

I just love it Steve. Bet you that the sender wouldn't say that to your
face. It is indicative of the illiterate to send this type of message
and also the kind of thing they would not utter in public.
You have really taken the lead in this mess and evidently you are having
success.
I guess I'll make THEM very uncomfortable for SOME time.
I'm 57, BUT my grandparents lived into THEIR mid 80s!

Old timers - yeah right! Many of us are probably younger than the idiot who
sent you that e-mail Steve. Like you, I'm 44, and I've been licensed just as

I definitely fit the profile the guy mentioned. 65, next birthday, and

Get the Viking going stock then modify if you need to.
Congratulations Steve you have made it to the
Funny, SSB operators were making the same stereotypical statements about AM
operators when I was a new SWL with a borrowed S120 in 1966.

Hi Jim,
I don't know. Rodger, WQ9E has mailed a plate clip to me. I need the mic
plug for it. It was already modded to an extent by the guy who owned it
before Tim, W9SWS. It has solid stated rectifiers. It uses a mic jack like
a Ranger's. There are two BNC connectors on the front panel. I
Ellen, the mic connector sounds like an Amphenol 80MC2M. They are
available for about 12 dollars each if you don't scrounge one.
