Ham Radio Dreams?

[KD8TUT]

Hi guys,

So I just woke up. Had this weird dream.

Steven Tyler (of Aerosmith) had opened a technology store.

The store had a ham radio section. Two Chinese ladies tried to sell me a VHF antenna that clipped on your golf bag and an off brand antenna tuner.

Neither of them knew much about radio. But I told them I already had a tuner made by Elecraft.

They told me they are going to start carrying Elecraft next week.

Then I woke up.

WTF.

Did you fall asleep with the scanner on?

Nope... was next to the wife in bed.

Must've been something you ate. Or a preoccupation with Steven Tyler. Or Elecraft. Could've been Flex, so consider yourself lucky. Sorry about your fate. :snicker:

Sorry; couldn't resist. :snicker:

Did you fall asleep with the scanner on?

The ham shack currently has 4 scanners, 3 IC-R7000s and 2 R-5000s monitoring various non-amateur comms...throw in 4 HF and 2 VHF/UHF transceivers, a MURS rig and a CB (if I don't use one of the general coverage rigs to listen to 11M) and the room can get very noisy. Yet I can easily pass out in the middle of all of it...but certain phrases coming across the scanners or receivers will rouse me from a dead sleep.

My Ham Radio Dream: A 5.0 liter, Ford Crown Vic Police Interceptor with an extra 165 amp Leece-Neville alternator under the hood to a seperate 12 volt system, my Icom '706 and my Palomar 5200 "Class-B Linear Amplifier."

Mounted on the side of the rear bumper is a screwdriver type ("Lil Tar-Heel") antenna.

The rest is radio.

Same kind of thing, except a Freightliner tractor.
