Aside from being an outdoorsy person (snowboarding, hiking, climbing, cycling) I also enjoy working on cars and motorcycles

My highly modded Volvo C30 T5/ Stage 2 Turbo upgrade and tune

My 2nd gen Acura Integra.
Note: This picture was taken on Halloween, thus the reason I was dressed as Venom

Some of my motorcycles (White Honda VTR250, Yellow Ducati Monster 800S i.e, Blue Honda CB1)

I've actually recently sold the Ducati so I could get this: Suzuki SV650

 

Hey NN! It's Bond from WUS. How are you?

 

We have similar tastes. Very good.

 

Hi James, good to see ya again.

 

I have too many hobbies... LOL

Aside from watches, we bought a camper last year (instead of me getting my Omega PO). My family and I enjoy going camping here and there on the weekends. I have named the camper OMEGA.

The Amateur Radio bug bit me last year as well. This hobby can be as cheap or expensive as you want it too. So far, I have 2 Yaesu Radio's and I just picked up a Icom HF rig for long distance communications (working on getting that set up).

 

Coins......

 

Coins I got from Father,,, and I must agree fully with you as I am a layman to say the least. Thanx for response:

 

I like shooting(and eating) these


I like messing with this:


And I like pounding these:

 

I got my ICom 735 and dipole put up over the weekend, but still need an antenna tuner to get that SWR down over all the bands

 

This Sun Clock is kind of like old HAM GEAR..........just hard to give up in case you need it.

 

I like fishing, land based or out of a kayak, wine, wine writing and judging, writing for fishing mags, playing and collecting acoustic guitars. I drive a Nissan 370 but am not a big car freak, next vehicle will probably be a 5 seat camper

 

You probably need to buy some books on antenna theory. The first thing I realised was that I was a slave to the amount of effort I put into getting the antenna right. You can also have an "amazing" amount of fun making your own antenna and seeing just how good you can get it. getting round the world comms on .25 to .5 of a watt using Morse really makes you feel quite special.

good luck and keep us informed how you're going.

 

the surplus stuff I can probably identify no problems at all. the ex-civvie stuff not likely.

 

I've a question for you Ash. How save is it rooting through those old boxes with all those deadly creepy crawlies hiding in your garage ??.
