For those living on hill tops and are unable to get an 8ft rod all the way in the ground due to rocks. If you will dig a 6 to 8 inch hole with post hole diggers as deep as possible. Then cut off the rod and center it in the hole,and fill the hole with Bentonite this will multiply the surface area of the ground rod. Same as skin effect in going form solid wire to stranded wire, multiply`s the surface area. This info came from a ham operator that is a lawyer for the power company here in Arkansas. Who lives on one of the higher points in the northern part of Pulaski county; nothing but rocks under the top soil. Bill

Yea it is just over yonder!!!!!

What is up with this 2 on ebay in one day?

Your best bet is to unplug and disconnect everything during these storms. Having been in the Ham Radio hobbie for many years and have listened to many stories of how people have protected their equipment and homes and still had major damage; The final conclusion is to have everything of value out of the loop. My best friend has had at least 4 strikes with 1 of them coming over the power line and the others over the phone line, taking out everything that was plugged in including the central heat and air.

Make him an offer that you are comfortable with. Show him some cash and walk if he doesnt take it. Got to treat him like a car salesman. If you get them keep them all and be happy. Bill

Dean: My share is in with the application going direct to Andy.

Protect your ears. even if just for a few minutes or all day long protect your hearing. I have hearing loss and i have always worn the foam ear plugs, the good ones not the cheap ones. And now working around Jet planes the noise can be even worse. It`s not the sound of the engines running it is the sound of the air rushing into the engine. we just had our annual test last month; and there are several guys that have a lot more damage than i do. Bill

Andy:Please send me an e-mail to KJ5DQ@AOL.COM. I think you are here in Arkansas. I believe i read that somewhere in the forum once. If so maybe we can see about a Job in Little Rock. I cant promise anything but it will be worth a try. I will need a phone number to call you at so that we can talk for a few minutes. I will send the money Wednesday before i go to work. PWK would be so proud of each and everyone of you for the helping hand that you are extending to a friend in need. Bill

Hello i was just wondering if you are the same trader128 that sells video screens on ebay? going to be in the market for one soon and was just wondering. Bill

They were gone before i got to see them up for sale. It was the wife`s birthday and she would not have been happy with me for spending the money on myself on her special day. Gilbert what did you think of the track in Bahrain? If they could just control the sand and dirt on the track it would be even better. Look`s like that prancing stallion is at it again this year! Bill

congrats on the find. How are they finished? And do you have any idea what year they were made in? Bill

Welcome and sorry to hear about your loss. You need to get the insurance company to at least give you replacement value for them then you can decide on what Klipsch to replace them with. heritage series or at least the Reference series dont settle for anything less. Bill

welcome to the forum. Are you in Little Rock and if so are you going to the foreign car show and swap meet in a couple of weeks? The wife has always wanted an MG and i may take her to the show to see if she can find a new toy to play with. I will have to get the flyer to find the exact date. One of the guys at work has invited us to come and look and see what we can find. Bill

welcome and enjoy the forum. It is simple to use the search window. It is at the top of the page right hand side just type in what you are looking for and it will give you all the info it can find. In this case just type in Forte and it will find all threads that have it in the discussion and list them for you. Enjoy Bill

I love it and need more of the same type of stuff. Bill

www.bloomington.in.us/~wh2t/loop.html see if this will work. bill

well if i can figure out how to post a link i will on the full loop antenna my buddy has up right now. I stand corrected he is only pumping 1KW into it not 1.5KW. All the top names are good some just offer more features for you to play with and pay for. Just give me a basic HF rig with DSP. And it will be off to DX land. Bill

But I am 6`2" and 240+ on a diet though. I will 2nd the OpusX mighty fine cigar. One of the guys at work is on vacation in the Republic right now. Cant wait to see what he brings us back.

One of my friends and fellow hams just put up a full waveloop i will have to ask him about it. i have seen it and it is spread all over the place. It took him most of the day to get it up; having to trim limbs and get the ropes up. I think he used 75 ohm coax instead of ladder line. i will find out this weekend and let you know. I do know that the SWR is flat, which was a must for him. using a Icom HF rig and a Alpha amp at over 1500 watts. He has missed placed the 5000 watt slug for his Bird watt meter and he can only check it up to 1500 until he finds or buys another slug. 73`s Bill KJ5DQ

They are beautiful. If they were only in Arkansas. Someone is going to be grining from ear to ear. Bill

Welcome to the forum. Just wondering how do you have the speakers arranged. as far as mains, center, surronds, rears? it is always interesting to see how someone else sets up their equipment. Bill
