I've been licensed around 25 years, I come from a large family of HAM enthusiasts. When my grandfather passed away some years back, I took his call sign.

Another KJ6*** here, PM for call sign.
Well, after having my ticket for over a year, I finally got around to purchasing a radio, Wouxun KG-UV6X, so far I have been impressed with the RX and Tx and the overall quality/feel of this HT. I'm in the process of learning the programming menu and have programmed the K6IS repeater into the memory and had my first conversation. I have been encouraging the wife to get her ticket.

I hear for the price, those wouxon's are a great deal. I never hear about folks how a problem with them aside from the pain in the arse programming. |

I've been toying with getting one as a spare radio based on all the favorable comments I've seen about them. There is a Yahoo group that is apparently quite helpful and there is also some freeware software that makes programming them a snap.

The software is basically just a matter of filling in the boxes with the correct info, for me sometimes that can be a challenge.

Great rig. I've been running one for the last year. I only wish they made a dual band version.

Extra, just cannot get back into it. Put up several towers installed dipoles for 160, 75, 40-10 meter log periodic I don't hear anyone that I want to talk to! Guess I will just keep building stuff. |

I downloaded an app called "Repeater Book" for my Iphone, it is very handy for locating repeaters in your local area.
I figured I would pass along the info to those interested.

I rarely key up, except to check in at the local monthly ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Service) meetings. I enjoy listening though. You can learn a lot, since most hams are pretty technical, some would say geeky, and enjoy talking about their setups and how things work. |

I'm back on the air after a lengthy hiatus - thanks to a non working radio. Now with a new Alinco DJ-V57 i can transmit again!
I normally hang out on 145.35 - 88.5 on Sonoma Mtn. (Sonoma County) though i rarely hear any peeps there. KF6---

Got my technician license KK6*** and working on my general. I expect to test for General on 06/08. I managed to get my Baofeng to work on 2m and 70cm. LEX(Calguns member) has been a huge help in getting the HT To talk to Wins repeaters. I am currently working on getting my ft897d configured...its a pita but I hope to have all the bands configured properly soon.

Yup, once you start there is no stoping...right now I am running yaesu ft-897d at home and baofeng ht in my car. I had a yeasu ft- 2900r for a while but decided to sell it and get ft-7900r soon because it's a dual band and I like Win system (70 cm) a lot.
Going for my general in one week.

Nice installation though. That had to take up most of a weekend though. My question is how "clean and clear" is the 6M band? Lex - I suspect that he has just the 3 rigs pictured. One of them is most likely a dual-band 2-meter/70-cm (440 Mhz). Like your "rolling ham shack". Is that a generator tucked behind the leftside fuel cell? With a rig like that, I'd expect you'd be involved in ARES or RACES for disaster drills. |
