Ham Radio Operators

[Gagmo]

I've got an Icom AT-180 Automatic Antenna Tuner, BNIB, that I'd like to sell off. Looking at about $350., Whatta ya think ? They sell/sold,for $499., (whew, can't believe I paid that much and never used it)!!... Anyone else interested ?

Good little rig. I have one that I used for HF mobile operation for a few years. I am currently using it for 2m/440 in the shack.

I knew a few guys years ago that bought this rig just for its CB capabilities - that's a lot of $$ just to use such a nice rig just for CB !! (imho).

No but with enough power at the UHF and Microwave frequencies of Ham Radio you can cook hot dogs.

Got my PRC-25 ticket several decades back



Neat hobby, my neighbor in the 60's had a heck of a shack I used to spend hours listening and learning.

I'm just curious and I hope several of you will show your hands. I would like to know how many of us here on the ODT are Amateur Radio Operators. No you don't have to give your call or your class if you don't want to. Just a simple hello will be fine.

I've been licensed since 1996 and currently hold a General class license.

Not sure exactly when I got my first license. Sometime in the early 80s I would guess. Currently hold a General class license but have not been active for a while.

Wait, you have to have a license to talk on a walkie talkie?

You have to have a license to do everything.
