Radio scanners, HAM radio etc.. Anyone else do it?.

[BOUNCER]

Just wondering if there's anyone else here who's ever been interested in HAM radio or radio scanners etc?.

[Red Ketchup]

Got my ham license and yeah... got scanners and radios all over...

Here is a list of my toys:
Transceivers:
Icom IC-W32 dual band portable
Radio-Shack HTX-242 (made by Standard) 2m mobile, in my car
Yaesu FT2500 2m mobile used as base at country house
2 Motorola HT-1000 2m portables at country house for hunting
Motorola radius GM300 2m mobile used as base at home
TenTec 6m rig (ssb)

Receivers/scanners:
Radio-Shack Pro-35 scanner (aka Bearcat 100xlt)
Radio-Shack Pro-2006 scanner
Radio-Shack DX-375 shortwave receiver
Grundig YB-400 shortwave receiver

As you may guess from my list, I don't have any HF gear (well, discouting the short wave receivers)... I have no interest at all in morse code but our governing body RAC (Radio Amateurs of Canada) is in the process of getting rid of the CW requirement for HF privileges so when thats done, I'll get some HF gear.

So what kind of toys do you have bro?

Red I'll get back to you on that. Just on the way out to work. I'll PM you my callsign. I'm an avid CW operator, I NEVER use voice on HF and seldom use VHF or UHF.
