Mabey you didn't tell 2WR777 Rick you were wanting this to be your 1st contact to obtain a WR number. With out clearly stating while the contact is made that you want a WR number you may have to keep trying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottrftv Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 Hello to all. Scott here, newly awarded 2WR903, "aka Scooby Doo" "aka from the 70's, Blue Flame". I am located in Ventura California, on the Pacific coast. I started in CB back in the early 70's with a pair of Midland 3ch Walkie Talkies. From there I got a 23ch mobile radio (my dad had a 12vdc power supply) with a 1/4 wave ground plain. At one point I had the radio mounted on my bicycle with a small battery and a 102" whip. I can't remember how, but I ended up with a Avanti PDL II antenna, on a small rotator. I was 10/8 and straight! In my later teens, there was a group of us that would meet at the local mall on Friday night. That was T-hunt night. My friend had a 1965 VW Squarback with a fiberglass whip mounter on the rear roof, like a tail. We would go the the surplus electronics supply store and by big meters and convert them to S meters. We would wait for the T to call in, and then 10-15 cars a trucks would start doing donuts (must have looked strange to passers by) to find the direction, and head out on the hunt. Those were good times. I lost interest in CB in the early 80's, I wish I kept my PDL II. Spring forward to 2010, I had been working in Broadcast Television for many years, working for a company that supplies wireless services for Sports and Entertainment. I mainly worked on Golf Events (not a golfer) supplying portable microwave systems for handheld cameras, wireless microphones, and UHF radios for communications. Worked in the 450-510 MHz, 1.4, 2.3, 3.6, and 7.0 GHz bands. Learned the importance of "Signal Path Loss". I bought myself a Cobra 2000GTL and put a frequency expander in it. I found a Hy-Gain Penetrator and a Palomar Skipper 500. It started again. Currently I am running a Icom IC7300, Yeasu FL7000, Homemade LFA 4 element beam, and a Sirio GPE 27. I am sure I will be talking to you all in the future. Enjoy the DX'ing Scott 2WR903 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
