 | Adventure Radio [ Edit ] Site Reviews(0) ...As a youngster, I recall listening with envy on hot summer’s afternoons to people out on hilltops around the country using Liner 2s (perhaps the first generation of commercial 2m SSB equipment). To me it seemed to be the ideal way to operate, out in the countryside on a sunny day. In the 25 years since then I have often thought back to those days and wondered if that idyll was actually achievable. Of course, it’s easy enough to cart a radio with a battery up a hill but I had a rather different idea in mind. I wanted the radio to be a complimentary activity rather than the main reason to be out in the countryside. This immediately demands a complete rethink on the sort of radio operation that is practical. The radio equipment needs to be small and light enough to be put in the bottom of a rucksack and carried as a matter of course when out in the hills. The easiest way to carry radio along might be a VHF/UHF hand-held radio. However, in hilly country, while VHF may be suitable from the hilltops, it is unlikely to be very successful from valleys. No, for maximum fun it has to be HF. But there are lots of choices to make.... Added: 2010-03-13 01:53 Last Update: 2010-03-13 01:53 Category: Recreation and Sports Hits In: 0 Hits Out: 30 |
 | America's "Grass Roots" Motorsport [ Edit ] Site Reviews(0) ...Lawn mower racing, transported from Britain by the STA-BIL fuel stabilizer people as a tongue-in-cheek PR gimmick, is "spreading like untreated crabgrass," says Bruce Kaufman, president of the 700-member U.S. Lawn Mower Racing Association (USLMRA). Racers remove the cutting blades from riding mowers and compete on soccer fields and baseball diamonds across the U.S. If you think you have what it takes to be a Turfinator or Lawn Ranger, visit this official site of the USLMRA. You'll find racing schedules, rules, and membership information. Go ahead -- the mow the merrier....

 | Blaw-Knox Diamond Radio Towers (Jim Hawkins Radio and Broadcast Technology Page) [ Edit ] Site Reviews(0) ...The Blaw-Knox diamond tower is an icon of broadcast and architectural technology. The WLW page on this site has elicited many e-mails and much discussion as to how many towers of this type exist, where they all are and how long will they remain. Thanks to the many broadcast people who have contacted me and sent pictures and information on these towers, this page became possible. I have found some other sources of information on Blaw-Knox. I will update the page as I learn more. Blaw-Knox is now a product line name of Ingersoll-Rand paving and road surfacing equipment. Thanks to J.T. Anderton and Watt Hairston, who have contributed information to this page. Thanks also to J.T. Anderton, Ed Brouder, Kara Hairston, Ron Lawrence (W4Ron) and Mike Miranda for contributing photos, which appear on this page in addition to my own. I invite others with more information to me. - Jim Hawkins... Added: 2009-12-25 14:27 Last Update: 2009-12-25 14:27 Category: Recreation and Sports Hits In: 3 Hits Out: 19 |
 | Discover Geocaching [ Edit ] Site Reviews(0) ...Searching for a new hobby? Explore Geocaching — the adventure game for GPS users which began in 2000.

 | FM Only Radios [ Edit ] Site Reviews(0) ...FM only radio is a radio that receives the FM broadcast band and no other radio frequency bands. Radio means it is not a "tuner" (which has no amplifier or speaker) and not a "receiver" (which has no speaker). As you will see, my FM only collecting interests go a bit beyond this limited definition....
