You should have let me know to put my address as NO COMMERCIAL MAIL so [...]

W4MPY Do not do business with The QSL MAN

Do not do business with W4MPY The QSL Man. This individual engages in low level stunts to solicit business by leaching addresses off of the FCC database of records. He sends out junk mail cards advertising his business. This unsolicited junk mail is an insult. First, the actual QSL card is nothing but an advertisement [...]

People who know CW are better then other people why?

New HF rig in a laptop bag - Yaesu FT-817ND in the box with accessories

I bit the bullet, and took my wife down to HRO in New Castle, DE.

Glad to be here, been a busy few weeks. I started in this great hobby in the early 1970’s when I inherited my Uncle John’s ham shack. All Heathkit stuff, in excellent condition. Everyone needs to build their own meters.
