    getting back into the game

    I've been away from the hobby a while and sold most of my stuff years ago when I deployed. Now I'm back home and getting back into the hobby I'm gonna attempt to build a few amps. It's been probably 10yrs or more since I had my hands in a box. So I'm gonna start out with a small 2pill driver, once the rest of my parts come in ill post some pics of my progress, as well as ask some questions along the way when I hit a mental road block.

    I've got all the gear but no base to put up an antenna or a suitable mobile. After serving in the Navy in Hawaii and being part of the states civil defense communications system, have a good selection of gear and a bench full of test equipment. Most cars are all plastic and tough to find a solid mount for a whip or rigid mast. Will have to wait for the payout to get a motor coach.
