N6JCQ here. I have a 30 year old Yaesu Ft208r that probably needs charging. It's down in a drawer. But my General Class license is current!  :D

N8GPQ here.  I have been a ham for almost 30 years.  Most of my operating is in the VHF/UHF bands now. I only live 70 miles from the Dayton Hamvention.  Life is good!!

KirkLasVegas,
             Quite a station you have set up. Next time were in Las Vegas I will try to catch you on my Kenwood. Are you a Slot Tech ?.
        You would have to have a lot of knowledge to set up a nice station as you have.

I have been licensed since 1992, KD6KML then, K6ZRX now. The morning I passed my extra test, I told my wife I got extra class. She told me I needed some extra class!

Mostly work 10, 6, and 160 meters most of the time. I keep a system of linked repeaters going around here and have my own on 440 and 220. The 220 is ACSB. Figured out how to convert the SEA trunking stuff to hammy, both mobiles and repeaters. I use a PIC to convert the data to the VCO from commercial to ham freqs. I learned about the PIC because I bought the Amicus18  board to play with SAS.

 As of Tuesday I am KM6HMZ


Icom IC-725
Icom IC-7-6MKII
Icom IC-2100H
Baofeng Crappy HT

Since I live in a townhouse, no big HF Yagi for me.  :banghead:

I have a long wire and tuner under the eaves on 2 sides of my house. Not the most effficient setup by far, but I can listen and some folks not too far away can hear me.I do have a 2M/440MHz vertical 6 feet above the roof, because "permanently affixed or attached" appears in the CC&R. It's temporarily attached at the ground and the eave, and I can take it down in 45 seconds.  :Crazy:

Congratulations KM6HMZ! Did you upgrade from a different class/call sign?
So you had a Baofeng too??? I bought one just because it was so cheap. I wanted to see how it worked... 
I guess if you lived in a completely open, unobstructed area, with plenty of repeaters in your backyard (ha ha), it would be okay, maybe.  I live in range of plenty of repeaters and it took me quite some time to find a spot to key up one. I had to stand in the bed of my truck, and hold the little piece of crap as high as possible and FINALLY I got a faint ... beep.
Needless to say I re-sold my Baofeng and am far happier with my old Yaesu FT 208r.

Collecting HT's takes up a lot less space than machines......
I lost count a while ago. These are my "Daily" radios, the rest are in the collection area.

Hey Kirk - you're alive!!  :propeller:
Good lord... that's a lot of HT's!
I still have a old 40 channel CB walkie talkie. I just can't part with it. I was on CB for maybe a month and the second I saw the benefit of 2 meters I got my license.

That's a great call sign too! I'd love one like that. Well mine ends in "CQ" which is sorta cool.
