Grew up in New Britain, Lentini's was on Winthrop Street in the mid 60s. I had a single-channel Hallicrafters CB-1 and bought all the crystals for it there. (Yeah, I'm THAT old! o_O) Also did business with Modern Electronics on Farmington Ave. in Kensington. Remember buying a Regency ACT-T16K...

Damn, I wish... they always put on a great show.

Ah, those old-school 'bricks'... I still have a couple of HT600s a 1000 and a P200. All still work like new plus they were the only units my kids (and later on theirs) couldn't break...

.22 Mag will suffice for those on a tight budget, just keep the target at 100 yds. max.

BTDT many times, but as you stated, it's a learning process. Like Billy Joel sang: "The things I did not know at first, I learned by doing twice!" ("The Entertainer" 1974)

Towers? Or a bunch of ugly 300' tall windmills lining a ridge for a mile? Your choice.

Born/raised in NB... as an alternative, grab a couple dogs and an Avery's from Capitol Lunch then go to Walnut Hill Park to the Grand Street side lot near the Monument. Line-of-sight to Franklin Square and no worries about traffic or parking around the courthouse. (Left NB in 1973 and still...

If you have a 76-foot diameter horn, just use it as a megaphone from a hilltop. No radio necessary.

Gotta agree, a lot of today's banditos are pretty tech-savvy. I just put my gear on the seat (I have multiple vehicles) and take it with me when I'm done. Agreed, it can be a PITA at times but ya can't steal something that isn't there...

Just talked to my brother in CT. he tells me Truckee 42.88 and Sacramento 42.28 have been shakin' the walls at his place near Hartford for about a week now. I recall CT State Police doing the same thing here in Reno back in the 70s when they were still on low band...

My entire body has been out of warranty for quite some time... eyes included. Traded a '58 Chevy speedo cluster to my dentist for a 3.5-6x binocular loupe that he uses when precision-inflicting pain. Absolutely priceless for PCB work! (Still haven't been able to talk him out of some burrs for...

Smokey Robinson and The Miracles answered that question back in 1961 when they did "Shop Around" "Ooh yeah, try to get yourself a bargain son, Don't be sold on the very first one..."

Sounds like a done deal if even John, Beth and Rip couldn't prevent it.:cry: Bravo Zulu for your service and hoping you enjoy your retirement!

Like the song goes: She girls thinks my tractor's sexy...

"Mating cycles"? I thought the thread was about ham radio, not the Kardashians.

Fake news... even a beginner knows it's two wraps!

Agree 100% but will never happen. Too much revenue at stake. Just for conversational purposes, let's price an RV at $50000. If 20 people failed the exam in one month, the result is 20 lost sales... a 1 million dollar loss to the RV manufacturer. That's why their Lobby in DC is so strong. It's...

Got to ride in a Ford Tri-Motor when I worked at Harrah's Reno 1977.

If it's placed on private property without permission there's nothing to keep the land owner from taking it down and opening it up. (Wish someone would set one up on my land, I'd love to have a nice free portable repeater or solar panel for my RV lol)

IIRC they switch at Lovelock or a bit east of there. Could be wrong; been a while since I've passed thru there..
