One could argue that buying a 19-year-old Range Rover is silly, buying one 1000 miles away is crazy, and setting off on that long road trip to pick it up in a 43-year-old Land Rover with your wife and kid in the hot summer months is foolhardy. I just think of it as being optimistic. In the...

Thanks for all the responses. I don't currently have an HF rig, but I do have my General license and do plan to get into HF in the next year or so, so I would rather go ahead and get the tool I need in the future than just one I need now. So, what other test equipment should I be looking at...

I need a SWR meter for my VHF/UHF radios, and am a little overwhelmed with the options. Do I want one that is a wattmeter, too? Should I get one that can handle high wattages for my future base station?

So, after reading this thread I go and read up and look at the 857 brochure, and there is a D110 featured prominently in it. That is just dirty pool. Yaesu really wants me to get one of their radios, don't they?

I bought a pair of insulated Red Wings a long time ago (2000?), and they are still fine. I don't wear them every day, just when we are doing a lot of crane work, so maybe 1 week out of every month. It is probably time to change the insoles. My feet have never been cold in them, even when it...

Thanks for this thread, everyone. I have been thinking long and hard about mobile HF, and it never occurred to me that what I really wanted was "portable" HF, that is, use it at camp rather than while driving.

We were at the Tucson dealer this week talking to a friend of ours who is one of the salesmen. He said a couple of weeks ago someone traded in a 1993 Range Rover with 67,000 (!) miles on it for a brand new one. Garage kept, it was in almost perfect original condition. Then gave him $2500 for...

Nice!

Nice. I am always amazed to still see RRC's running around with the original brittle black expansion tank.

Actually, the land the site is on has been disturbed so much over the last few centuries that planting grass on it is probably a more of a restoration than a change. And the weather this time of year is almost always perfect. Like today, for instance, it is 11am and the temperature is 70F and...

I don't know which I am happier about, the grass or the possibility that the sprinklers could come on during the event.:jump:

Nice photo, Herbie!

Kristina did an excellent job for a friend of ours. You could indeed take your own vehicle around, in fact, the instructors were looking for more challenging vehicles to take. They took our 1968 Dormobile around, then they talked a couple with a 2WD VW Vanagon into going around! I saw Jeeps...

I grabbed a few Crosby shackles for $10 each from a fabrication shop that was going out of business. A couple of them look like they have never been used. Someone mentioned earlier a counterfeit Crosby alert. It was apparently a hoax. From the Crosby Group's website...

My favorite photo from the Expo. Ken Cameron, a Camel Trophy veteran, with the actual vehicle he competed in, with two of the Rover Divas. My daughter is the taller one.

Hi J, it was great to finally meet you!

Programmed in.

That Rover may have some overseas history. The CD badge on the grille stands for Corps Diplomatique. Cars of diplomats had those in Europe and elsewhere. I think today the badges are part of the license plates in Europe, but when I was a kid and my father was at the US Embassy in Warsaw, we...

Shaun (05LR3AZ) uses his pretty well. http://www.azlro.org/gallery3/index.php/2011-Adventures/2011-Arizona-Land-Rover-Rally/Ajax?page=2 Craig in our club does also, but I don't think he is on here.
