Re: Cheap 2m mobile rig
I agree. It's nice to have a new radio with a warranty, but then if it works it works. I think I would avoid the new Chinese rigs with names you can't pronounce. From what I have heard, programming can be a challenge, and that isn't something you want. Avoid buying anything just because it is cheap....

Bug Report
When using Internet Explorer 11, the pull down menus on the home page at wj5j.org can show white empty boxes rather than the proper color and text. It's being worked on.

New things coming
Now that things are moving along, we are looking at new features. Since the by-laws require a members only forum, I asked Vince to go ahead and create one so that we can experiment and test it. There's actually some complications to this below the skin and it could take some time to implement. Only ...

Re: Proxy Voting
I would add that the BOD meetings, as are ALL club meetings, open to all, member or non member. If a visitor has a question, there will be a time to ask it.

MFJ 492X
I have replaced my MFJ 492 with extended memory with a brand new out of the box MFJ 492 and yes, it got some extra memory as well. The old one is now surplus. I have replaced the momentary switches on this thing at least 4 times that I can recall since it was new in 1997. Everything is working just ...

Re: New Website
Folks, this is the new official net presence, replacing Mark Harper's Yahoo group who was so kind to allow us the use of his space for some years. The temporary Yahoo group is also going away as soon as Yahoo fixes an apparent bug that prevents anyone from deleting a group! In the future, all offici...

K1MAN
I must have too much time on my hands his morning. I was googling around and was reminded of K1MAN, good old Glenn Baxter. The last news piece was earlier this year in which they were really going to get him this time sort of thing. His license still hasn't been renewed and expired some nine years a...
Re: D-Star
You're right. I've been a radio guy for a long time now but the D Star gear is initially pricey, it requires a registration process to get on the air with what you have purchased, and then there are so few folks with the radios that you wind up saying good morning to the same station each morning an...

Re: Tavern?
That back booth, you know, the one whose lighting is dim, is the best one for those who want to avoid the immediate limelight. Leave all the frivality to the young and over served. I'll take notes and jot down a few good one liners for my next book. The guy up near the window and the front table is ...
