Down by the river?Quote:
I'm in the Benton County boot-heel just off US412,
about halfway between Siloam and Springdale.
I love that area.
Know that site well. I worked for the local cable operator for 8 years starting as a cable guy and working my way up to a Network Engineer.Quote:
Back in '89, I chose the site and did the paperwork
for that 450 foot tower just west of Tontitown.
We did some work for them as well. We had a headend off of brush creek road just up the hill from that site.
During my stint with the cable operator I wound up in Pittsburg pretty often, we call it the crown jewel of southeast Kansas.Quote:
Also worked a few months as CE for KKOW in Pittsburg.
I liked the town, especially the speed trap near the university.
Yes.Quote:
The "big one?" Would that be U of A, or Walm*rt?
Can't say I know that call. I am into the ham community, but not until relatively recently. My first club meeting was about 3 years ago.Quote:
The only Fayetteville ham I've met is W6JVE.
Good luck with that!Quote:
A homebrew op?
My Grounded B+ thread could use competent input. :yes:
Competency in actually making homebrew electronics work is not my forte. I can fix things all day, but creating from scratch is a challenge.

I love how the puke comes out of the nose as well... reminds me of my first encounter with too much vodka.Quote:

Good aperture for the Tulsa market TV's and Fort Smith to the south.
Not to mention DX--worked Christmas Island during a 160 CW 'test. :)

It's a wildlife protected area, but devoid of trees where the guy wire anchors would go.
It was the perfect site for FM 2-county area coverage, and only 4 miles from our home.
The irony is, before construction began the new owners tried to screw me out of two weeks pay,
so we parted ways.
Never got a traffic ticket, but there were lots of discourteous drivers in that town.Quote:

I started with a big tube-type regulated power supply that Tulsa U no longer needed.Quote:
Good luck with that [grounded B+ thread]!

The power transformer was the only useful component--built the amp around it.
Yes, good luck to anyone discussing a tech subject amidst constant childish distractions.

Greetings and Salutations!
My name is Ali, and I've been a HAM for just over a year (May 2013)
started in the cb when I was a kiddo, in high school some friends for their HAM licenses but I kept dragging my feet.
Got a wild hair last year and went for it. Got my tech and then my general the following week.
I have pretty much just hung out on 2 meter, but eventually plan to get an HF rig and go play with the big kids
I am originally from IL, but I now call Colorado home.
:)
nice to meet you!

Welcome to the Island, Ali. The grass skirts are hanging on the nails by the pier.Quote:

Oh, and, we're all wearing grass skirts.
Hello Ali. The fish are biting down by the the Lagoon bar. Poles are complementary, as are Sweds. Welcome and enjoy.
Those of us who are wearing anything at all, that is. Don't worry, though, the nudists have their own beach where you're not forced to look at them. If you've ever been to a hamfest, you'll understand why we set things up that way.Quote:
