Loved the video, i been a cb user for years driving truck. I am 65 retired truck driver and want to get into having a base or cb with a linear amp. I don't know which way to go as a new user that isn't rich, should i get a base station or 10 meter cb with a linear amplifier i guess needing some advice. I want to be able to get out cross country, you never know when the crap is going to hit the fan and we will need a good long distance rig!!
Good evening Jeff, thanks for the I was a CB guy too some advice is stay out of the CB shops, those radios advertised as 10 Exports are not really HAM quality radios, there RF emissions are sometimes very band meaning you transmit one several frequencies outside of allowable HAM recommendations, I just wouldn't recommend them they are only 10m and many do not cover the entire band, email me shope02@yahoo.com we can discuss further, I spent a lot of money in my CB days and I learned that the gimmick is loud sounding radios and the CB shops do a l lot of magic to make them sound loud but from an emissions stand point would be tolerated in the HAM world, get back to me, I'll help you 73
I live about 1.5 hours north of you. Always on 11 meters ssb. I'm wanting to get a 10 meter radio and license soon. Still shopping for a good radio at least 100watt.?
a tec license will get you on 10, as for a straight 10 meter rig an hr 2510 is a good rig if you go for general class, you will have a lot more range and bands you can use check my channel for some more radio contacts on various bands
Hi sir, thanks for the message glad to hear your looking at 10 meter, let me know if there's anything I can do the HAM club here in Abilene their club call sign is KC5OLO and they meet regularly google them "Key City Armature Radio Club" email me shope02@yahoo.com if you need testing dates etc, '73 and glad your looking at 10M
Ive been listening and using my icon 735 for a year now. Nothing on 10, 20, 15 or 40. But, i kinda live in a bowl where the land descends a bit and around here nobody uses ham, so if i cant get local i prolly wont hear anyone.
Good evening and thanks for the message, what kind of antenna do you have? You should be able to talk to folks on 40 and 80 and night 10, 12, 15 are tough, 17 and 20 is busy late afternoons - ok well let me know if you need anything 73
Good evening Gary how you doing? Well that's a good questions, look on your display on the waterfall box just above the water fall left portion you should see IPO, this is the default RF Gain if this is set to AMP1 (will add 1.6 S units) or AMP2 (will add 3.3 S units) which could be increasing the noise floor. 2nd thought what kind of antenna do you have? Mine is a CP-610 from Diamond, this is a dual band 6 and 10, the 6 meter is vertical and the 10m is horizontal so that may account why my noise floor is low. write me back well keep working this I'm kind of curios too 73 and let me know be glad to help. Oh BTW my QRZ.com has pictures of my antennas too
I wonder if my Imax 2000 would work for 28. 470 I think yes. I have a good antenna tunner that would make it work. I looked up the FT 991A on ebay 900 bucks ouch I cannot join the club I guess. I have a crappy 10 or 11 meter radio but it just has letters for the channel your on. wouldnt even know where I was at. Not to mention It would nt be legal. I bet I could study to pass the ham test. the 900 dollar part is the hard part for me. What would be a decent enough radio that I could afford to talk to ham radio operators after I get a license.
Different license types. For 2 meter, 70 cm, 10 meter and 6 meter a technician license works. For hf you then need a general. A tyt 9800 works for all 4
Technicians are permitted some privileges on 10 meters. "On 10 meters, Technician and Novice licensees have CW, RTTY and data privileges from 28.000 to 28.300 MHz, and CW and SSB privileges from 28.300to 28.500 MHz."
That depends on a bunch of things, really. During the up and down swings of a solar cycle, daytime is *usually* best...during the autumn and winter months in the northern hemisphere. The band typically opens an hour or so after local sunrise and closes an hour or so after sunset. DX is measured in thousands of miles. Spring and summer are different. The band is *usually* dead from local sunrise until late afternoon, then it opens up with sporadic E and can stay open until well past midnight. DX is measured in hundreds of miles. Summertime weather, like a big dome of high pressure, can bring about a *tropospheric* opening. DX here is typically less than 500 miles and is a great way to log areas close to you.
Good evening all, all good points I find West 4 PM t0 9 PM CST, but after 9 PM it can drop out completely, mornings I've heard are East is good for Europe, '73 all and thanks for the comments
Used to talk to England on weekend mornings (if/when the skip cooperated) back in my CB days, now hopefully I can do the same on 10 meters this summer!!
Hi Michael, thanks for the message, the FT991A comes with the default set to SPECTRUM, the following video shows you to change it to WATWERFALL, ua-cam.com/video/WvUm3nHDHjg/v-deo.html let me know if this helps, email me shope02@yahoo.com and '73
I THOUGHT about buying "just" a RECEIVER but if You have to listen to a bunch of static then I am outta here. I must have clear and clean ( hearing difficulties) With all the electronic stuff available and still got all the STATIC? Somebody needs to get a new plan.
I hate to say it, but you probably should have let the other callers in your pileup know that you were only taking one call, rather than just leave them waiting for you to finish your call and then hanging up the mic. Am I wrong?
Good evening sir, and very good advice, this was my rookie mistake I understand now to specify which station I'm going to take next, this lets everyone know to try back again, great advice and I appreciate the help '73 sir de KI5JUF
As you're probably aware, HF frequencies are not channelized and because we transmit sideband audio with zero carrier (actually a very highly suppressed carrier) the receiver has no carrier information to lock on to. The receiving operator has to 'guess' what frequency to tune to by the sound of the callers voice. This is less than ideal and relies on best-guess to tune to the other stations frequency. Some operators would be better than others at this. To take the guesswork out of it, Amateurs tend to call CQ on whole, or sometimes half KHz frequencies. 7123.00KHz and 7146.50KHz are random examples of this or 28470.00KHz as seen in this video. If we all meet on the whole, or sometimes half KHz, it takes the guesswork out of it. It's not a rule either, but it's good practice on HF SSB. Think of it like this; It's like a landscape of hills and valleys and we all agree to meet up on the hills. I hope this helps, John EI5JS
@@johnc3403 This is a novice "problem" wich didn't exsist in the 70-ties when you did listen with you ears not with you eyes. Anyway, thanks for your reply.

The receiving operator has to 'guess' what frequency to tune to by the sound of the callers voice. This is less than ideal and relies on best-guess to tune to the other stations frequency. Some operators would be better than others at this.
To take the guesswork out of it, Amateurs tend to call CQ on whole, or sometimes half KHz frequencies. 7123.00KHz and 7146.50KHz are random examples of this or 28470.00KHz as seen in this video. If we all meet on the whole, or sometimes half KHz, it takes the guesswork out of it. It's not a rule either, but it's good practice on HF SSB. Think of it like this; It's like a landscape of hills and valleys and we all agree to meet up on the hills.
I hope this helps, John EI5JS
@@johnc3403 This is a novice "problem" wich didn't exsist in the 70-ties when you did listen with you ears not with you eyes. Anyway, thanks for your reply.
better than ft 891？😂😂😂
Do not use handle...plain language "my name is...what's your name
Copy that I didn't know I had heard "Handle" on many 10M in the past, so thanks and I'll make the change easy and '73 appreciate the message
Generating pileups!
Hi Red Stick Ham, yeah its easier for folks to come to me than me chasing everyone else all over the band, appreciate the message well make a QSO soon I'm sure '73
JA3JHT was calling CQ on the frequency when you said "someone is on here let's see if I can get him" so you clearly heard someone but then called CQ. Not a great example for new operators. Listen Listen Listen
Can't hear you over the static
Turn off the fricken background music!!! If I wanted music, I’d turn on the radio!!!
Wasn't impressed with VK2XZ on 28465? "Someone is on there..."
All this is is a glorified CB radio.😂😂😂😂😂😂
CW Hi Hi have a good day and 73
