| Using amateur radio call on a band that has no requirement | KM3F | on 6/11/19 |
| As I understand, today there is no requirement for a call sign ID or license on the 11 meter citizen band. That leaves the legal user, using a legal type excepted radio to use whatever he wants ID or no ID. . Question is, does using an amateur radio call fall into the use on this band or no because it is a registered call for amateur radio service? I cannot see a real difference where is would be an "issue". Please offer an informed opinion from either the ARRL and/or the FCC and no opinions from any other source. Been wondering about this for a long time. Reason is I could use the same letters and number in the same sequence as my call and call it made up, coincidence to my call, put aside. Look me up and see why I ask. Thanks. |

| I'm sure you already know or should know the following. You have operating privilege on, 80m CW, 40m CW, 15m CW, 10m CW and SSB in two different portions of the 10m band. 6m , 2m, 1.25m, 70 cm and all bands above in all modes with some power limitations as a technician class in the HF bands and some others you would check out in the rules.. A radio to cover 160m though 70cm not including 1.25m will be at a higher cost to include these bands and all modes for your future General class ticket use. What is reasonable in cost is up to you. A Kenwood TS 2000 would fill the bill very nicely with all the features it has. There are other makes that would offer all the bands but different it total features and power output. The cost would be in the $1500 range +/-. Good luck. |

| Hooking up an Amplifier | w7igc | on 15/1/16 |
| First, you don't need the 704 box. The radio will key the amplifier directly with a cable connection. Second, if your tuner is rated for the radio and is less than 500 watts rating, it won't take the output of the amplifier at it's full rated output. Place the tuner between the amplifier and antenna. Adjust in for low SWR, then it's ready for the amplifier power. Learn how to tune the amplifier quickly on low drive first, then reset at full power. Do not adjust at low drive then run full drive without peak tuning at full power. Also running low power thinking you save the tubes actually make them run harder with more dissipation. Good luck. |

| Net Check-in Validity | 0001727880H80 | on 3/11/15 |
| We have a wide area network that does checkins by referral. No other local nets do it this way in this area. All hams are encourages to check in as part of why they have obtained a ticket. Nets would not function if there were no checkins. They cannot participate in any activity whether equipment testing, emergency support or any other activity if they are not present on frequency. Tell them this simple fact.. If they were called into service as hams would they respond. If they had an answer to a question, would they respond? etc. You have to get them off the shy post to be of any value to ham radio otherwise all they need is a Scanner or receiver to do what they do.. Bottom line is there is no excuse. Good luck. |
