I am new to the board and just wanted to say "hi" and introduce myself.
I have been DX'ing since 1975 when I was a kid and used a Sears Roadtalker on a 5/8 aluminum antenna. Boy those were the days!
Had various radios over the years. Had a HR-2510 and should have never gotten rid of it! 
Have Cobra 139XLR base all decked out that I am using presently(Used to be my fathers until he passed away)and Antron 99 with groundplane kit. Decent setup. For the mobile I have a President Grant all tricked out that sounds real good.
Anyway, not to ramble, Just wanted to say hello!  |

Yesh I should have never gotten rid of the 2510 but thats the way it goes!
I did pick up a tricked President Grant and really impessed with it. Using it currently as base. 100.00 bucks I paid for it.
What freq's do a lot of members hang out on?

I just had a question come to mind. How were you introduced to this forum? Did someone tell you about it or did you find it by searching the net by keywords? |

I found this place just surfing one night for good info. Never left or checked any other place since. This is the place for reliable sources of info. My edumacation has doubled since being a member of the Copper Forum and I'm very thankful for Copper and all the folks here who have taught me so much. There is still so much more to read in the archives. THANKS COPPER and thanks to all the members. I LOVE THIS FORUM!!!! Kenny in the cornfields of Indiana 73 to all, CEF 491 Mr. Hotwire |

The about this site is you can learn from the mistakes of people like me! Let us spend the money in trial and error and you reap the benefits. I, too, have learned a lot from this site even though I'm quite hardheaded and buy some stuff they say isn't good anyway. Great site.

Knottyboy, I was searching for the best deals for radios. After a few searches, copperelectronics.com came up!
Glad I found it too. Excellent prices and nice people on the forums! |
