By the way, I am an amateur radio operator -- Advanced Class, and since I also collect bottles I am pretty sure they're stiill in the shed. No great value, but they are made of plastic now.

Never did go and get my Ham license, was too lazy to make the trip . Never did buy a ham rig either . I operated a Midland super sideband radio modified to go from the 2700 megahertz on up into the 2800 megahertz , had the clarifier opened up where I could go between channels , with a 350 Varmit linear hooked to it . I talked to a lot of radio operators there on the 2800 megahertz . Could talk ground waves from Ohio to Arizona almost every evening on twelve watts . Talked to a guy out there who operated a ham radio with phone patch capabilities . I have a Sister in Tucson , he would phone patch me to her phone and we would talk for some time on it . Sounded like we were in the same room being it was so clear up in there at that time . Got a lot of enjoyment from it back then . Then it seemed like everyone just got tired of it and went on to different things in my area . I ended up selling off my 350 Varmit linear , and traded my radio off for a table saw and a police scanner ! What a way to end . (in reply to CWBookAuthor) Post #: 6

Status: offline Got to sit down at a nice HAM setup at a fellow scout's father had set up (back in my boy scout days) for a day.  Talked to a person in Sweden and others.  Both he and his son (who was fairly young at the time) had their op. license.  Anyway, it was that day that I discovered how they got the com. affect they used on The Empire Strikes Back between the Snow Speeders.  When you tune the channel dial just a smidge off of who you are listening too, you get the same affect. _____________________________ Poison Us Member: APBCA ( www.poisonbottleclub.org ) Visit Us @: www.poisonousaddiction.com Looking for digging partners in/near Savannah.
