Love them or hate them, they produced a lot of unique products at good prices. That's a pretty big hole to fill.

If it were up to my wife, we'd be driving around in 15-passenger vans like the Duggars by now.

Yeah I know they bought Ameritron, Cushcraft, etc. Could be just a rumor for all I know: But I also found this thread from November where they were talking about the owner of MFJ trying to find a buyer: https://forums.qrz.com/index.php?threads/mfj-is-officially-up-for-sale.887129/ So...

By the way, I heard that MFJ is closing it's doors sometime in mid-May supposedly. Kind of a shame if true - I know they have QC issues, but I've had good luck with their power supply and now the 939 tuner.

They probably should have put a little more thought into this before the whole "ban ICE vehicles by 2035" thing. But, then again, this is California we're talking about.

Played around with FT8 on 10m today for a little bit. My first ever contact was with a guy in Italy, which was surprising. Made a handful of other contacts in the US and Brazil. More surprising was how many people heard me, even with my little wire dipole that's about 8' off the ground in my garage:

My wife is a Nurse Practitioner and when she was looking for new jobs, a bunch of places had these absurd non-competes. I remember the one said that she wouldn't be able to go work anywhere else in a 50 mile radius of any of their locations for a period of 3 or 5 years. Because they worked in a...

Funny because I just heard two guys get in a dick measuring contest on a repeater over how long they've lived in Downers Grove. If I'm still living in a Chicago suburb even 10 years from now, I'm gonna suck-start a shotgun.

I just love that elitism they have: Really? Memorizing a basic set of dots and dashes is the 'true knowledge' behind radio? "You're not a true IT guy unless you memorize ROT-13! Rah!"

Love watching old men absolutely seethe over the fact that nobody has cared about Morse code for decades now...

You should just set up an account with VSI using your current company and buy everything through them. You'll get better prices and they'll deliver for free/cheap for reasonably sized orders. Perfect for a build like this where you're making big purchases.

I've been wanting to build a tracker and a yagi antenna for satellite stuff for years. There's some pretty cool software out there that will do everything - show the approaching satellites, aim the antenna, control the radio for frequency and doppler shift, etc.

The astronauts on the ISS were talking on the 2M radio today. This is the clearest I've ever heard them come in with my current antenna. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/I9jRyh_brqc

"FBI Says Water is Wet"

The first few times they used a pickup. Then I think they realized that the pole is mounted to some cheap chinese cast aluminum and it just shears right off.

Mayo goes great in cake too.

Chicken tender sub sounds like something that would be right up my alley.

I love Miracle Whip for sandwiches and stuff.
