I just picked up a Drake 2B Receiver today, July 1, 2010. I had one of these when I was a newly minted General back in Illinois. I have a piece of history in my shack. I now have a matching Drake 2BQ Q-Multiplier/Speaker, 2AC 100KHz Calibrator and the 2LF Lowband (160 Meter) Converter. So, my vintage receiver collection is complete!
Or so I thought. I now have a Drake B Line. Pictures are coming soon.
| Dayton HamventionDayton, 2011 is now history. I was not able to attend this year because my Mother-in-Law is out here visiting. I haven't heard much about what was new at Dayton. I did hear that the sewage system backed up onto the arena floor! I am glad I missed that. Maybe we will give it a go next year.

Tower Saga It's really not a saga. It really is my procrastination. Since this has been going on so long, I am moving any progress and discussion to my "Antenna" and/or "Tower Installation" Pages. July 1 , 2010 |
| Southern California Hamfests One of the nice things about living in Southern California is that there is always a hamfest going on. Here are the current regular, every month hamfests: Second Saturday - Cable Airport, Upland, CA (off Foothil Ave) Not the greatest in the world, but on occasion a good bargin can be found. Third Saturday - Chino Hills H.S., Chino Hills, CA (off 71) By far, the best of the monthly swapmeets locally in the Inland Empire. Last Saturday - TRW (Northrop Grumman) Redondo Beach, CA. What can I say. The legendary swapmeet in Southern California. December 5 , 2011 |
The RF Group The RF Group is a group of Hams that enjoy social interaction and fellowship with each other. Ages range from teens to 90's. Generally, most are members of the Riverside County Amateur Radio Association. The only requirement for membership is that you enjoy Ham Radio and don't have a personal agenda you want to impose on others. There are no dues and meetings are held monthly. The group also sponsors a weekly Rag Chew net on 145.520 Mhz simplex every Wednesday evening at 20:30 Local Pacific Time. The group has been somewhat inactive right now. December 5 , 2011 |

The Club Member Appreciation Fun-Fly was held a couple weeks ago. Everyone had a great time. Good food, Great prizes and Super events. On June 4th, the Field will be closed for our major maintenance. We will be grading the runway and road, re-dig the drainage swales, repair the bridge and install sturdy Flight Stations. WOW! Last week, my son, Rob and I picked up a new P-51 Mustang. I just need to install the radio and it's ready to fly. I will put a couple pictures of it up on my RC Picture page. See the Corona R/C Club link for more information on our Club and the various activities. Also, please view my R/C Picture page. Keep 'em flying. May 29 , 2011 |
