The Antenna - Buy or Build? Ham radio has changed over the years...Do you still build antenna's, or do you buy a commercial product?
[131 votes since 2008-11-20]
  I still build my all my own...
  No time/inclination to build, I buy commercial...
  My station uses a combination of both...
  I'm an Experimenter, always constructing/trying something new...
  I'd love to build, but for reasons, I can't...
  I have a limited income, I HAVE to Build!

Question:

 
Strays Add a Stray!
What's it going to take to get a geosynchronous ham satellite? In a word, MONEY! Paying for the launch would cost megabucks, well beyond AMSAT's (or even ARRL's) present or foreseeable resources. The days of free launches are long gone, especially to high orbits. w2rs@arrl.net

DXCC Status
A contributor states, "Currently there are only two countries that do not issue Amateur Radio licenses to their citizens, Yemen and North Korea. Thousand of deserving Ham's worldwide who enjoy working DX are shut out of any hope of obtaining the #1 Top of the Honor Roll status due to this. It would seem rational that these two countries (and any others who take a similar position) should be deleted from the official DXCC list in view of this. Why recognize a country on the DXCC list that does not recognize Amateur Radio? What say you?"

Shack Showcase WA4DQS - Stealthy and clean
WA4DQS - Stealthy and clean My shack lurks in an unsuspecting corner of the room, hidden until I swing the doors open. It is a $20 yard sale special: a computer cabinet/armoire. I added caster wheels and an extra shelf. Parts bins hide behind the lower curtain.
