Any Ham Radio operators?

I just got one. Right now, I monitor a couple of repeaters in the local area.

Well, since this post is about 7 months old, I don't know if you'll get this reply since I am the only one so far....

I've hobbied in ham radio since 1974 and done most everything in the many facets of that hobby over the years including collected a whole garage of equipment and 'stuff'. In the last two years, I eliminated nearly everything except my little station on HF and a 2m mobile rig and a 2m HT. When I do get on the air, it is simply for ragchews. I do not do contests or hunt for DX stations, mostly just enjoy talking to other hams on CW. But, mostly I like using the digital modes on HF.

Don't spend much time on the local repeaters although I do listen a lot when I am in my office/hamshack. My station is fully capable of emergency power as I have a 5Kw generator on standby. Got tired of the clubs and did the ARES/RACES stuff for 20 years already.

Some day the bands will improve and we'll have more than an hour a day of marginal conditions.... My favorite band is 30m and favorite modes are CW and Olivia.

I was surprised when I saw this pop up.

I have a couple of radios, but I haven't done much with it lately.

I'm a SWL.
I like listening on the HF bands. 160, 80, 40, 20 meters.

Some metres are very busy, right?

Quit busy indeed! For now I'm rather busy with the 40 meter band. Wat is you favourite?

Not sure; I fiddle on the car radio occasionally; traffic news can be useful...
