Fred,I really like that Baofeng UV3. Unfortunately with my old eyes I might set it down and never be able to find it :) Baofeng is really popular in the States, so I've talked to several HAMS that use them and they sound great on the repeaters. I've ... Read More
LPG tank adapter to U.S. gas BBQ Grill by rbrothers
I'm using LPG in my house in Malingping (Pantai Talanca) for cooking. This month I should be getting my household good from the U.S.A. delivered here. Among all the "stuff" is a KitchenAid LPG grill. It uses the U.S. POL type of gas connection ...
Thanks Fred, I'll probably just use the same regulator and replace the POL fitting with a "push on" fitting like is on the Rinai cooktop I have here. That way I can get a pipe with the correct SNI1591 fitting and make it work. Read More

My wife and are finally starting to get used to living in a small, isolated village on the south coast of Java in Banten province. Because of our isolation I would like to get things by online ordering. Online sites like Shopee and Tokopedia don't ...
@wingrove60 Thank you for the feedback. I'm going to place a "test" order with Tokopedia to see how it works. It appears that there are only two ways to pay, GoPay or Tokopedia card. I have a Rp account at the local branch of BRI (bank used my most ... Read More

Well we made it safe and sound to Jakarta. Cleared customs with all our extra baggage which makes me happy. Had a lot of help from the young porters at the airport who pulled all our bags and pushed them through customs and out to where my wife's ... Read More

Is there some place online that I can view a "simulated" Amatir Radio test? I found several references to such a thing, but the closest I've come is a short video demonstrating how the "CAT" works, no actual tests like I can access for U.S. via ... Read More

I haven't done much QRP. Where I'm currently living in Texas, the ambient electrical noise is close to S9, so hearing low power stations is a challenge. I've been watching several Youtube videos from YB1UUU and one where he is demonstrating a neat ... Read More

I was suprised you brought Ham radio up as well!Most of my rigs are pretty dated, the most recent rig I have is a Yaesu FT857D which has the infamous missing columns in the display (still can make it out though). I spend a lot of time just working ... Read More
