That logo–do you remember it from The Minutemen, Husker Du, and early Dinosaur Jr. records? It used to be Greg Ginn’s dad’s ham radio company, Solid State Transistors. Weirdly, this is notable to me.
“Alaska Backpacker Extreme”

I had to sell some ham radio equipment to afford this bugger.
.50 caliber revolver with some style! The CorBon 440 grain hardcast bullets are the size of an "AA" battery and with a velocity of over 1600FPS, It would be like getting hit with a bowling ball.
This is a special edition of the Smith&Wesson 500 with four inch barrel for my future backpacking trip in the Absaroka Beartooth Wilderness (in Montana).
Those are reflections inside the cylinder, not bullets.
Oh, Dont get the wrong idea…
I am at peace with bears…

PC SWAP for Antenna Analyzer
Image by kc7fys
This Toshiba A15-S129 is available for swap. Details, if you are a ham radio person: I want to trade a Toshiba Satellite A15-S129 notebook computer for an antenna analyzer.
The Computer:
Celeron 2.4 GHz 400 MHz system bus clock speed
13 by 11.5 by 1.5 inches
6.3 pounds
40 GB hard disk
15-inch active-matrix display (1024×768 maximum resolution
DVD/CD-RW
two USB ports
integrated 56K modem
RJ-45 LAN network port
PCMCIA port (1)
The system fan buzzes when it starts up and after about 3-5 minutes quiets to normal and functions normally. There are about a dozen weird pixels where the screen has touched the touchpad over time all within a 1cm spot, and one 1-pixel-wide vertical line on the monitor. (Photographs show this.)
This would make an excellent PC for portable digital ops, and is a fine general-purpose second machine.

I am looking for an MFJ antenna analyzer, or one of another type if you wish to suggest one.
Thanks,
KC7FYS

With the arrival of my LMR400 N connectors, I was able to replace the existing cable segment between the house and the tower. The polyphaser that was located at the tower will be moved back to the house, so they’re all mounted together on a common bar.

Contesters and DXers are always looking for that competitive edge to magically pull out the weak signal that is either the rare country or multiplier they need to climb up the list. Larger antennas, higher gain pre-amps and other devices in line are great. However, what happens inside the radio with all those signals coming down your feedline can defeat all your efforts.
