    I was looking at the possibility of taking all 3 test at the same time and even if i don't use the HF right now i'll probably try for the extra (if they let me). I have a few things that i put money into already and the handhelds are inexpensive and don't require antennas so that is the first...

    Neither my wive or i can keep plants alive. We have tried a few different kinds in the yard that were recommended by the nursery workers but they always die.

    Hey Jerry, i've got a couple questions for you if you don't mind. I've been studying for my license and am ready for Technician and General. I have been having a bit more trouble with the Amateur Extra material and wondered if it was really worth it. I'm not planning any home based antenna farm...

    Yesterday we had the "No accumulation" snow. Yup it accumulated AGAIN, about 3 inches. at least the roads and driveway weren't bad. I had told work if i had to shovel even one shovel full i wouldn't be in to work. My back is wrecked again after the last snow (8 in) and am having a hard enough...

    We are kind of fond of the little guy. He is 5 weeks and doing great. Atom (yes that is the spelling) just doesn't realize he is supposed to sleep at night yet.

    Mixing is another thing i can't see me doing (i'd screw it up). I like knowing people that do mix though, a lot.

    I'm using a few Evod's, kanger pro, aspire tank and a couple Davide Kings (having some problems after tearing these down for cleaning). I have used the evods mostly because they fit in the the pocket without breaking. I've never been interested in rebuilding on my own. I guess an accurate...

    I just can't seem to get into the hardware research. I'm still using a Vamo (v5 at least) with the same tanks i've had for well over a year. I'm not even sure what the new ones are. I bought a bunch of coils and haven't finished going through them so haven't had to shop at all. That is one of...
