100 ft. of RG8x?
Does anyone have about 100 ft. of spare RG8x sitting around doing nothing? The drop line from my antenna broke during the wind storm and I need to replace it. If you have it and don't need it I'll buy

DMR Handset for sale?
Does anyone have a DMR handset that they would like to sell? I thought I'd try DMR, but I don't want to spend a lot on yet another radio.

G5RV Replacement
It turns out I spent the $6 (or so) on the Square Trade warranty on the G5RV. I don't normally do that (and I forgot about it), but in this case I guess it was a reasonable idea. Anyway, I think they

G5RV Replacement
I've had a G5RV up for less than 18 months. In the winds last night the wires basically pulled apart at the one end where the wire and rope meet. I think that there was a loop there, but I don't recal

July Meeting date?
The snovarc.org shows that the July meeting is on July 4th. I assume that it won't be unless there is something special going on. Has there been another date set?

12 V Power Supply?
I'm in need of a 12 volt power supply capable of 20 amps. Does anyone have one they are interested in selling? If not, does anyone have suggestions for one that is stable, relatively low radio noise,

HF Auto Tuner vs Manual Tuner

Professional Car Installer for Icom 7000
Thanks! I got an estimate from them that was very reasonable ($250 - $300). Now I just need to find an impossible to find (OPC-1444) separation cable to put the radio where I would prefer to put it.

I started getting interested in radio using an SDR. For the past 4 to 6 months I haven't been working with my SDR (LimeSDR) since I've been more interested in ham in general and my 7300 in particular.

Snoqualmie CERT
Last fall they had to cancel the series due to lack of interest, so I suspect a full class will not be a problem.
