I work every day with security screening X-Ray equipment. I would not touch this with a ten foot pole without a very thorough understanding of the effects on people of even a small leak. Be cautious, my friend.

I don't post enough, but seems like we few hangers-on are fading. Hate to lose what was once vibrant, but to quote Jim Stafford "All good things gotta come to an end..."

Good info, thanks, been away for a while. I will give this a try also.

Happy Thanksgiving all! Turkey on my pellet grill with hickory wood. Wow. I should have started doing this years ago!
best to all,

What surprised me is the number of Hams in the US. I believe it's almost a million. More Hams now than ever before. I gotta think getting rid of the code requirement made it a lot more attractive to a lot of people. Jwax, funny how military service can kind of disrupt your plans! Thanks for that! Tom

Thanks Gents! That's the plan. I did get it powered up and could hear static, then kind of set it aside for what was supposed to be two weeks.... and then life got in the way!

If you have ever wondered about getting a Ham license, I must say it was easier than I thought. After putting it off for forty or so years I finally decided to do it.

I just purchased an older (mid 1960's I think) Kenwood TS820S ham Transceiver. Its hybrid, both solid state and tube. I haven't plugged it in yet, but other than visually inspecting all the caps and bringing it up slow with a Variac, any ideas on what else i should do? Oh, and no, I am not a Ham (ye...

Pretty soon it will be one big company.. and then they will probably fade away too... Sad.

Neat project... nothing to contribute but am following with interest.

Has the drone bug bit MicroRem? :smile: They can be addictive! Only the imagination limits what one can do with a remote camera in 3D space. I'm amazed that a large following of droners go long distance- out of sight, like several miles! Explore your neighborhood! Maybe, I am still trying to decide...

A friend of mid brought his Phantom drone to my place and I "flew it" It was really odd to me, being an RC and full scale pilot, that I had to think about every input since I was, in my mind, "telling it where to go" not "telling it what to do" I had a blast, we shot some neat footage of my property...
