I haven't been doing anything on the bench lately, due to the wind, rain, and large tree branches hanging over my range, so no unloading of rounds. I don't want to say that I'm all caught up, but it's darn close. I've been in the same area however (garage) on my Ham Radio. Thankfully I have that. Here's a picture of my station.

Try to test one day this week, quite windy out today.

Are there still a large group of folks into ham radio? My brother and I were into the CB radio action back in the late 60's.
He worked at a CB radio repair shop and had his 1st class FCC license when he was 18. He also worked at various radio stations
as engineer on the night shifts. He used to build power amplifiers for some CB guys back then.
One time back then we were talking to some guy in the Virgin Islands on a 5 watt walkie talkie hooked up to a 100 watt amp
at night when the skip was good!

Hey Moetur
You have any use for any of this stuff. The SWR meter in the box is like brand new.If you do I will just give it to you. Its sat in my basement for years and not seen any use. I have no use for it at all.

The big box on the left is my 4 tube 800 watt amplifier, then it's my icom 7300 HF Radio, next to it is my antenna tuner, above that stuff to from left to right is my morse code key , then a power supply for the radio, swr meter for the 2 meter radio, then my Yaesu 2900R 2 meter radio. There's a lot more, but that's the jist of it. I get around the world with this gear. Thanks for asking.

I've always been impressed by folks being able to do so .... I've used CB radios for a lone time but never anything even approaching a Ham Radio

Very nice setup. Moe
Have fun.
I've got the same wind, rain, trees, branches to deal with. Seems
to never end.

Xtreme Bullets emailed me with the bullets I ordered on the way. I also pulled some bullets out of some 41 mag cases that I have been having issues with.
