35 ways to spot a Radio Amateur

You might be (and probably are) an Amateur Radio operator, if:


1. You have bought black electrical tape in ten packs.
2. You have stripped wire with your teeth.
3. You have told your child, "One day, all this will be yours," and he or she did not respond at all.

6. You have gotten an RF burn from your own antenna.
7. You have given out RST reports while you were on the telephone.
8. When the microphones or visual aids at a meeting did not work, you rushed up to the front to fix them.

10. You have set your watch to UTC only.

11. You have had to patch your roof after an antenna project fell onto it.
12. You have put a GPS tracker in the XYL's car or on the riding mower, just so you could watch it on APRS.

Is a DX-100 REALLY worth $275.00?

Is a DX-100 REALLY worth $275.00?

Not sure Steve... probably not...

However, the question is: Is it worth the extra $ just to not have to hear Dave "Making sure this DX100 still works...."   :-)

[WD8BIL]

It's a close call, Steve. The D-104 IS part of the deal!

[Todd, KA1KAQ]

He's actually from CT or MA, moved to VT in the 80s or early 90s as part of the influx of 'why VT is as it now is'.

I was wondering how long it would take someone to figure out who's station this was after W1AC initially posted the Craigslist ad last week or the week before. Figured it was better not to give it any attention which might encourage the seller to change his mind.

If anyone buys it, I think Wayne 'SSJ should. He's the one who sold it to him at Hosstraders.

That happen to me. I vindicated when I lite up an 807 with them and drank their sour mash.
