As far as "Rigs" go... My Radio now consists of a very old Yasue 301D, Home brew Iambic Keyer, bencher paddle,and a 25amp yasue power supply.
My Antenna "Farm" is non exhistant now as I have just moved to the Ranch and the only antenna's up here are old CB antennas <grin>
I have a antenna tuner, and many wire antennas all rolled up and stored SOMEWHERE here...
....
My Old Radio is probably shot now as it has been Pissed on by Cats for about 5 years and covered with
dust ....its not a pretty sight ! , however there is another Radio here a Yasue 101that has been de-tuned to reach the CB bands hehehehe which will more than likely be my Radio in the future...soon as I align it .
Sense my Advanced class Licenses has elapsed, I havn't been on the air in ages, even on 2mtrs which I have grown quite fond of... as I know I can talk into San Fransisco from here in the truck!
which is pretty darn neat!
... My Location here is within one Mt range to lake Shasta in Northern California. I have 20 acres here with plenty of room for big antennas so I am Sitting pretty when it comes to locations. the mountains around me make for good communications to the south and south east mostly , North has always been hard to get out to for this location.
...
In the future if I get the "BUG" again, I may well renew my Liscnses and get back on the AIR again
...
Ham Radio Nuts are a Natural for Hydroxy generator building as they already know the basics of Electricity, and have probably built many electronic circuits in the past.

Well I'm using the old Icon 745 I got from the 'Elmer' who got me interested in Ham radio when I lived up in Seattle. He had used this rig to bounce his signal of the glacer up there. It came with the old SBE model SB2-LA Linear amp. It puts out 1000watts but I've never fired it up. Some of the 6 tubes in it broke the last time I moved or maby 3 times ago, I don't know. So I recently got an old tube tester and tested all the tubes I had laying around and found a set that seamed to be pretty balanced between them. Some day I'll turn it on and see what happens. I use a Dentron manual antenna tuner that proves to be a real workhourse. I use it with the 'Extended Lazy H' wire antenna that I have strung between 3 homebrew wooden 40 foot towers. The trees here are just not tall enough to do any antenna hanging on them. Heck these towers are 3 times as tall as the nearest tree. When I use the Crushcraft R7 I don't use the tuner since it is a vertical multiband antenna. My neibourgh hates my antennas but she also hates the 40 foot tower I'm building for the wind generator too and promises to hate the wind generator with as much furver. When I was a kid in Pennsylvania i made a slinky andtenna and strung it between the tree and the house. With the Halacrafter shortwave set my uncle gave me I was listening to stations all ove the world and the Grand Old Opry too.
More later

Great on the stations u guys have. I running a icom 738 into a mfj versa tuner 5, with a heathkit sb-221 2kw amp., recent acquisition. I have several dual band mobiles and ht's, for antennas I have a 80 m dipole, homemade 4 element 2 m cubicle quad, 6 element 440 cubicle quad, also homemade, amtron 99, and a 5 element tri bander for 10, 15, and 20 m. All this was mounted on a 55 foot self supporting telescopic tubular tower, which got bent in a micro burst last year. I have purchased a new 72 foot tilt over telescopic tower, of the 3 leg design which will handle a bigger wind load. I have not put this up yet. 73,s for now.

AB2DF,
I think that 738 is much like my 745. You got some great towers. The 40 or maby 60 footer I'm building for the 10" wind generator is made from some galvanized pipe I had laying around. Starts at the base with 5" then 3, 4" 6' sections and a few 2.5" sections. I'll be welding it all together and I made a box for the base that acts as a hindge and I'll raise it with a 20 or 30" gin pole with my truck (no HHO needed). I'll have it guyed with 5/16" wire rope at 2 heights. My nasty neibourgh says I can't go above 35' without a permit. I called the County Building inspector and he said there is no restrictions on height for home use towers out where I live. Yepye! Anyhow now I don't have to worry about the 43' towers holding up my Extended Lazy H. Have you ever run into tower height problems as far as permits go? I'm using a 25 foot Rohn 3 legged tower bolted to my house for the discone and the cell phone Yagi. They are great towers.

well tink not so far, but I do live in the adirondack park, but I think there is a clause, being in a hamlet.
The only reason I was able to get the new tower was homeowners insur. I monitored the 7256 40 m freq tonight but got nothing. I would prob. have better luck on 15 m at 3pm. I think I have the time right it shjould be 6:20 there now?

Got to admit I envy you guys with your wide open spaces. It's about 60 foot to the bottom of my garden. trees all around. Not good as an antenna farm.
All my equipment is long gone. Just a multi-band receiver remains that I sometimes have a listen around on. I have a long wire running down the garden, but it really need some work to match it to the set. I often get 80 metre stuff from a net in Wales, but again, it's a long time since I really bothered.
Problem is, if I got hooked again, I wouldn't want to get off my butt and do something more useful. A problem we all share.

Manta,
Yea I hear that. I'm real sproatic about getting on the radio. I'm usually too busy and forget the time somiss the contact times. All the guys I talk too realize this and don't give me a hard time about it plus my schedule is always different from one week to the next. I just like keeping in touch with hams around the country because you never know when ham radio may be the only means of communication. I realize how fragel our infostructure is and its an added sence of security to have the ham radio operational.
Mike that is 7.265, sorry I must have given yo the wrong freq. I'll try to be on the band at 3pm and also 6pm my time here in AZ.

Mike,
I looked up your location at the ARRL web site and you may not be able to hear me or me you. But you may be able to hear the other guys. I'm going to try to listen at 3pm my time that's 5pm your time on 15meter at 21.412. And then at 6pm my time that's 8pm your time at 7.265.
You should be 2 hours off my time since AZ doesn't do Daylight Savings TIme.

Sorry Tink,
I didn't get home in time for the 3 pm on 15 which is where I would be more apt to catch u, but I will listen tonight on 40.

Mike,
No problem, I should be on 40 meter at 7am that would be 9am your time in Sunday morning. We'd have to have a direct 'pipe' between us to have any chance of connecting. But you may hear Bob K0QND or even Gary K0MGD or Miron KC5ZAV.

While I was in Reno NV. I had a friend that got a new Icom 757 or something like that... don't remember exactly the number/modle it was but after a while they all look the same !HAHAHAHA! but it had a very good CW filter in it (extra) and a nice tuning arrangement for the audio filter and all in all I wound up realy likeing that radio... I've seen some of the newer Kenwoods too and they are realy neet but buck per buck it looked to me to be more bang for your buck with an Icom...
.... and what do I have ? Yasues ! hehehehehe and they are very old ...
I might wind up getting my liscnses again.. who knows...but as Manta said, like my computer the Ham radio became a time sink and realy wound up taking a bunch of my time.... time now that I just don't happen to have.
....one thing for sure... if I'ed have spent what I spent on my computers on Ham radios I'ed realy have some Nice units...and without a good Rig radioing just isn't that much fun...
....
I do want to try some experiments on "Spacic energy" in the "NOT too far" future.
because as I undertstand it I should be able to capture free electricity like Henery Moray did ages ago.
with 20 acers here I could run electric fence wire all the way around my property and have a few miles of wire out.... resonateing it with the planet should net some neet results !
...

Bob,
What's spatic energy? Where do I get some? I want it!
I've known a few people with Yasesus and they are great radios. I have a goal to find an old tube type radio I can afford and work with it. Call me a parinoid but I just realize how fragile our infostructure is as I mentioned in a previous post. I've always wanted to getinto the computer area of ham radio but when I had the money I didn't have the time and now I have the time I don't have the money. My Icom 745 is all the radio I need but it is not able to interface with a computer. I know ham radio can be addictive. There are guys out there that have $million in stuff and it's just a hobby! I guess being poor has it's advantages.

ic-738,
Sorry, I missed my radio time this morning. I'll try for 3pm on 21.412. If there is another freg. you'd like to try let me know. I'll check here before 3pm (5pm your time).

Tink...
"Spacic Energy" is also known as "Free Energy" and is Considered a MYTH by the scientific comunity.... However it does work ! just like the HHO is considered a MYTH, so is Spacic Energy...
....
to understand how spacic energy works takes an understanding of Antennas and resonance... you simply put up a bunch of wire.... the more wire the better
and then resonate it with the planet at around 4hz....
obviously that much wire is going to be hard to come by so you can use a coil with LOW "Q" to match it up ....
with a very good long ground rod you should be able to resonate the wire to the planets frequancy... yes the planet has a frequancy just as the sun does and sense the sun is ringing like a bell all the planets are ringing in simpithy...
sense the planet is ringing at its resonant frequancy.... the wavelength that happens to be 25000miles long we can resonate a wire to it and obtain Amplication by Resonants.... when you accomplish that, you have free energy
Henery Moray in the past made this discovery and his Grandson is now trying to sell his book "spacic energy by Henery Moray" and at last check he had some back in print...but unfortionately I didn't have the money to get the book at the time
...Henery Moray took it to the next step and used a crystal cut to his exact frequency and used the crystal to amplify the signal in a simple crystal osclitor
... he powered his entire house and barn with the power received from this setup
for years...
so all we are doing is tuning a long wire to the planets frequency, getting amplification by resonance and using the high voltage that comes off the wire
day and night.
....
Why the power companies havn't discovered this is unknown... I guess they cannot see the forest for all the trees <GRIN>
but instead they already know that long lengths of exposed wire will gather high amounts of electricity, through many sources, sun spots and static electric charges in the atmosphere. so they ground all that energy at certain points along their long stretches of wire....throwing away all that power.
....
I do not know what it would take to make that power usefull....
I suspect a 60hz ossliator and a voltage regulator to get you 120vac
or diodes and voltage regulators for DC voltage.... you could charge your batteries 24-7 if you just figured out how to do this !
...
that is about the sum total of what I know of it...
I do know that a friend of my Dads was working on it about 5 years ago and showed Dad the results on his volt meter.... even with his crude setup it worked!
and all he has was about 200ft of speaker wire strung up in the trees...
and the power was Always there.... not just a static charge that takes a while to build up either...this is different, its really there if you can resonate at "its" frequency.
and you can Resonate to just about ANY Frequancy with a simple coil... tapped off at the right spot.
...
try taking your Lazy H antenna and hooking a VTOM to it and a large 6"diam coil made from copper tubing (about 50ft in the coil ?) to ground and put your grid dip meter on it and find out the direction you have to go to get closer to 4hz.... (its 4to 7hz btw)
your looking for constant electricity ...not static buildup....
run that through a rectifier and a pot to adjust the voltage and charge your batteries ! HAHAHAHA
if you accomplish it Please post all the details as I will set one up here and turn off the grid! HAHAHAHAHAH
...

Bob,
either u have to quit posting or I have to stop reading, lol. I think I know along the line u are talking about, I read an article, (ur making me look for it and retrieve it if possible) I save all the good articles I read. But the guy was charging up his qrp rig off from the radio waves of an am station nearby. Well I did not find it, but I do not have a lot of time to dig. But that was the principle(charging his batt. for his qrp rig from the radio propigation from a local am station).
Mike,
