I don't want to be that guy and just start talking on 7213 because that's where we are used to talking. Moving to unfamiliar areas, there's a chance that we will infringe on the regulars that show up after we've been talking for half an hour. It would be nice if there was a chart of who owns what. As a net that meets only one day a week, we have to hunt for an open frequency. 2713 is low in the band where its crowded. 2785 is where a foreign AM broadcast station starts transmitting around our start time. We usually make it work. It's just been bad luck the last couple of weeks. |
If its broke. I can fix it. If it doesn't exist. I can make it. If its metal.

Don't confuse where I live with where I'm from.

From my on air comments: Buddy of mine went SK in the early 2000s. His widow (another ham and family friend) basically gifted me with a gazillion dollars worth of radio equipment and parts. I gave her a bit for the known working equipment and fixed a lot more of it for her to sell at area hamfests. She continually gives me parts, tools, whatever when she finds it and in return I'm her ongoing electronics/PC support center. Am currently building another system for her living room to replace an aging Dell. Extend that courtesy to the SK's son. If there's a way to help him out with something, offer and do so. |
I would be happy to do so if he wasn't moving to the other side of the state (Lowell to Jonesboro). I'm going to try to honor the SK by using what I can and giving the rest to either the local club or my Elmer. I want to make sure all of it gets repurposed. Also, he's giving my number to his sister who has all of the SK's radios so I can help her value and sell them. While I wouldn't seek to buy from her, I'm not going to say no to "its you or Goodwill" offers. |
