I have worked about 10 countries on 6meter Simplex, done Moon Bounce on VHF/UHF simplex, worked the Space Shuttle a number of times and worked just over 1,200 miles once on 220 FM Simplex. I like...

Find a local HAM Radio club and make some local friends that will for sure help you out.

Set up your 6 meter and 10 meter receivers on the Beacon Frequencies. CW is best followed by SSB, but FM can work. As soon as you hear a beacon get on. I have worked a lot oof DX on 6 and 10, just...

6m and 10m might make it using ground wave. You would have to test higher frequencies (unless you can put a remote base on the ridge top, which I do in Sag Harbor as I am on the water at Sea level My...

LL is right. Right now there is as much gouging going on for reloading equipment and components as on ammo. Where are you located?

The Chinese did their normal copy cat thing and came out with cheap radios, that many, including HAMs have bought. I have two, don't use either of them for anything but receive. Put them on the IFR...

I have and have read everyone of the Bosch books too and am not a big fan of the series. I have thousands of books and kind of like the idea that when I read them, I can see the characters the way I...

It was already 14 years old when I had this done for the first time and it was really not neccesary, but I thought a good cleaning would be in order.

Cleaning and overhauling of my Breitling $620.

I have at least a dozen HTs. I have ICOMs, Kenwoods and Yasue's from 30 or 40 years ago. I do own a few of the Chinese knock offs, but they are not in the same league. Programing software and cable...

I am shooting at the Southampton Rifle and Pistol Club. That is where the league shoots. I practice at Maidstone Gun Club at the East Hampton Airport.

I do not have anything against Cruise, but I have all of the Jack Reachers books and read them all. Jack Reacher is 6'4" (If memory serves me) and 250 pounds. Steven Segal would have been a closer...

I just got another 1,050 pieces of once fired .32 S&W Long Brass. My STAR Reloaders set for loading .32 WCs can really spit loaded rounds out.

The lowest power I have on any of my 1,000 yard guns is 8x32 but I prefer 12 x 42 and 15 x 55

I don't own any Rim Fire Only Scopes, so all my scopes could go on any one of my rifles. How they effect weight and balance, what ring heights are needed etc. are the real factors as well as what I...

One of the nice perks of living in Funroe was that the company I ran was part of a group which owned a really nice gun club. Got to use it without any dues or fees and any time I wanted.

Bergeron - Where in WeezeeAna are you? I used to live in Funroe

I also have a Model 41 that I like but use my High Standard Victor for RF. I have three Gold Cups .45, 9mm and .38 Super, and a Hammerli P240, Glock 34 Target and a Benelli MP3s.

I probably will never get that good at it, at my age, but I am having some fun and shooting some of the guns I rarely have shoot.

I have a lot of handguns that I can use for Bullseye. I decided to start out for Center Fire to use my S&W Model 52. Last night I shot it with open, iron sights, but I have a Red Dot and Mount to...

Shot my first Bullseye match in 45 years, last night. Had a lot of fun learning that I really need to get more trigger time in.

I recently bought 6,000 Remington 1 1/2 - Small Pistol Primers at $31.00 per thousand, but they have been showing up on the web for $10-$15 a hundred.

There are two different 1,000 yard sanctioning bodies. The IBS (International Bench Rest Shooters) shoot 5 shot relays for both Score and Group. The world record was last broken in 2018 and the...

There are a lot of suppliers that specialize in Bench Rest and Long Range Shooting supplies.
