kj4v Posted March 14, 2010 Share #1 Posted March 14, 2010 If you have been inactive like I was this is very cool! I chatted with London yesterday It works flawless and used the mike for my rockband game with usb on my laptop to do it with. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5afV-iNPTGA]YouTube- The Qsonet CQ100 Virtual Transceiver[/ame] I heard India on this morning too. No QRM! try it for 90 days free and can even do CW with the keyboard but copy is by hand. If you join, email me and I will be your 1st QSO kj4v30701@gmail.com.......Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skid Posted March 14, 2010 Share #2 Posted March 14, 2010 (edited) Pretty neat, but I'm far from being inactive. I have a 2 meter in every car and a Yaesu FT 890 in the house.... de N8YOW Edited March 14, 2010 by Skid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kj4v Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share #5 Posted March 14, 2010 I still use VHF and UHF but don't have any HF gear any more. So this was kinda cool to me. I just thought it might be a neat thing for the hams who ride a Venture to do.....Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikesBike Posted March 14, 2010 Share #7 Posted March 14, 2010 I'm not even sure if my license is still valid it's been so long since I've been on the radio. Used to use 2 Meter in the car but cell phones made it less of a necessity when I needed to call home. I guess you could call me a silent key ... _._ KC4NBU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skid Posted March 15, 2010 Share #9 Posted March 15, 2010 We should set up a QSO on HF sometime.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ken8143 Posted March 15, 2010 Share #10 Posted March 15, 2010 YEARS ago I was WB4FZC - worked 40 meters mostly. Sweet little Heathkit 90 watt am and cw transmitter that I assembled. Think the final amplifier was a 6146 right? Been out of it so long I don't know how the call signs here in USA are configured. Used to be N for novice, then old timers had 2 digit suffixes, then W then K then WA etc prefixes. KJ and other prefixes are out of left field for me. So what are the conventions now a days for USA call signs? Is it still V for Canada? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikesBike Posted March 15, 2010 Share #11 Posted March 15, 2010 Your ticket expires 10-09-2010 Good deal. My wife has received her renewal notice (KC4PNC) but I hadn't yet. I had my license before she did so it must be from when I made General... Thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted March 15, 2010 Share #12 Posted March 15, 2010 VE or VA for canada. 6 is alberta, 5 is sask, 4 Manitoba.... The last 3 letters you get to pick. I should blow the dust off the HF rig. I only have a 160M antenna up right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tx2sturgis Posted March 15, 2010 Share #14 Posted March 15, 2010 I've been semi-active on QSOnet for a couple of years....there is also another one that actually simulates fading and/or poor band conditions...its called Hamsphere. Hamsphere is open to non-licensed operators as well as licensed hams. It works on Windows and Mac! http://www.hamsphere.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was mostly active on 3,5 , 7, 14, and 21 meters band as well FM. Have my own build quad and dipol's antennas.use to own FT900 and Atlas 215 DX, ah what a memories. here they are: http://www.davepick.btinternet.co.uk/atlas/atlasfph.jpg http://www.universal-radio.com/CATALOG/hamhf/ft900.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skid Posted March 15, 2010 Share #16 Posted March 15, 2010 I have an Extra class license but I'm not as active on HF as I used to be. Motorcycles has taken up most of my spare time. The wife and I are active on 2 meter FM since we're on the road so much. Only dipole I have up now is an 80 meter so I still check in with the locals here on 3.830 in the mornings and sometimes a little 10 meter action...

Bob Myers Posted June 1, 2010 Share #18 Posted June 1, 2010 Don't know how I missed this thread. Played with that a little, my skills are far below the needed level to have a good qso there. Run FTM-10 on both my bike and my wifes Vulcan, 2m in the house. 70cm in the truck . Locals are getting really active on 440 repeaters here. Even 220 is starting to win out over 2m again for some reason. KV8OOA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
