$25 a month for the NYT.

Al Bawaba used to do well also …

On vacation… 😎🥛💰

I not sure Diamond was $60 or so.

I’m down in Hocking hills, Ohio and that little radio is our only comms point out of here because cell service down here in Logan and Hocking county is not the greatest

I have one. And all the accessories. It’s a great radio. Get the diamond tri band antenna and it will get out much better than stock.

Had fun with this contest, but did not hear any Techs.

I helped set up a phone patch for an Asheville resident Saturday morning.

Using the Intercon as a setup point and directed the stations to move off net frequency a bit to have their welfare conversation.

It worked! The party found a nearby local to Asheville, and the traffic was passed.

Article seems to rely on the influence of belonging to a club. The two clubs that I was a member of were cliquey closed inter circle boomer gatekeepers.

ATR 30 3KW tuner here, along with a Vectronics dummy load and several antenna switches. Tuner handles 1.2 KW From Ameritron AL 572 amp all day long. Low cost vacuum tube amps will be the big loss for new hams.

Nice but pricey.

Too late.

7300 is the most popular rig that we check in on our net on a daily basis. They can be had used for $800 - $1000, QRZ swap meet. All the features that a ham just getting on HF could want. And not over crammed with stuff.

Presently running a TS 890 here. With a TS 830 as backup.

Yaesu FT 890 at was my first HF rig. $550. I’m still using it too.

I left with 15,000 karma points and eleven years as a Redditer. Sad to leave ornithology and many other subs, it will take awhile to get those folks to migrate.

Dave’s not here.

It does.
