  1. Used these at my previous employer with our Kenwood Nexedge radios. Rock solid, as you'd expect from both brands!
  2. Could be, cw, the original digital mode, can have a certain rhythmic cadence to it, as do many of the digital modes. The other thing I find interesting is the number of amateur operators I run into with a SIGINT background similar to mine.
  3. The Queen is never wrong. Once we thought (s)he was, but she was mistaken!
  4. I'm really that way also, just threw LZ out there as a joke. I can't think of a genre of music that doesn't have something I don't like in it. Mine is the a/c in the shack, seems to warble a nice mark/space after those RTTY Contests go silent.
  5. Personally, I've always liked Led Zeppelin as my favorite band. 20 m CW and Phone were my go to's for FD this year. Very limited Op time as usual due to annual Family do's that weekend. But managed contacts on the bands from 40-6m working a 1E station
  6. When the first brick sized Cellphones came out, a buddy got one for work. He'd call us when he was down at the lake and ask us to call back in 5 minutes. He would walk by the sunbathing girls on the beach and take that call trying to impress them. Didn't really work...
  7. Absolutely - Here in St Paul, we hear sirens, we rush outside to look for them!. But the guys I know are researchers not tour guides, so they like to keep other ears from getting their info and clogging up their spots!
  8. Others have posted VG info already, won't add to that. I do know a couple "professional" storm chasers, they both have LMR licenses for their pursuits. Mostly so they can encrypt their radio traffic, so as to not have other chasers, especially those who take groups out to show off storms, their info.
  9. Just the gift of Time to work 6 meters for the VHF Contest.
  10. Wanna see Randolpho do that ala Molly Shannon!
  11. Well, CANG and USMC do have CEWI BN's, right??? (although the nomenclature may differ)
  12. Cue the "that's not real radio" SadHam comments!
  13. An oldie but a goodie. That one's been hammered to death by the Hams, both Happy and Sad over the last couple of years. Yeah, with EchoLink or DMR/C4FM, etc., et al, I can talk thousands of miles on my handheld. But I prefer the old school nothing between me and the other guy than the ether...
  14. Or.... Both kinds of Music, Country and Western.
  15. E-1 pay in 74 was 397 per. ETS'd as an SP4 at the 505 per month. For those that care, my MOS was 98G2LAEK3/05H2LAEK3. But was also put on Temp as a 95B when I was guarding the SCIF as there weren't enough MP's with clearances to do the gig.
