| | | What do you think about the FCC dropping the code requirement? | | Recently, the FCC dropped the 5 words per minute morse code test requirement for the General and Extra class licenses. Do you think this is a good or bad idea? I found it disappointing that they'd drop it for the extra class test. It's great that people can operate on the HF bands, but I think they should have made it mandatory for the extra. Too bad.However, keep in mind that when nothing else gets out, good ol' cw will. So, what do you think? | |
| | Any Shortwave Radio Listeners out there? Can you help me select a goo Receiver? | | Hello everyone!This is my first post in this amazing forum and I joined recently, though I had been following this website for quite sometime, but mostly reading a few things here and there.I would really like to ask for some help from you guys. I want to purchase a nice portable Shortwave receiver under 100$ to listen to the[3-30] MHz. frequency band. Hence, I want everyone of you to suggest me the best available options in this regard at present with the help of your experience, within the price range of 50$-100$ but not more and also some links which could let me see the specifications for me to choose the right receiver for myself. I am open to both Indian and foreign models.Secondly, I am located in India. And after a few intense search I came to know that there is not even a decent Short Wave Receiver that is sold here locally. I don't know if I am really correct or not, I would be happy if someone prove me wrong. So, can anyone of you please guide me to a reliable website/dealer to make an Online purchase, either within India or outside? I have no idea of an online purchase from outside of my country, so any help in this regard would be greatly... | |

| | Do you wish you had picked a different user name here at myLot? | | My user name is derived from my dog's name. Someone answered a discussion with me the other day assuming I was male. I'm not. I hadn't really thought about it before, but my user name gave them that impression. How about you? Do you have problems because of your choice of user name? Do people assume certain things about you? How can you tell? | |
