Good afternoon and Happy Thanksgiving all.
I'm new to the forum and wanted to introduce myself.
I live in South/Eastern Saskatchewan and have been interested in this hobby for a year or so. I started with a Hallicrafters S-77A receiver and a broomstick antenna I bought from Fleabay. I bought that antenna because I didn't really want a longwise antenna across my backyard. I then purchased a Panasonic RF 4800 receiver and still have the broomstick antenna. I'm in the works of ordering a Hy-gain DX-88 antenna and right now and trying to do the shortwave listening rather than the Ham part just yet. I am interested in purchasing a Kenwood TS-790A Transceiver but am trying to find some info about possibly disabling the Transmit function as I don't want to accidentally transmit with ought my license. I want to buy this unit because its supposed to be a real good unit and will be good still when I do go for a Ham license down the road.
My other hobbies include fta satellite tv and building and collecting antique cars and parts.
Have a great day!!
Terrence
