Yes where is the key? Don't you just need it for the bare minimum of tuning up.


Find my picture of the shack on QRZ.

[kb1nzv]

This is what i would call the bare minimum without a key sorry everyone. But this is my shack... well more of my shelf :D

What model of icom is that in your mobile set-up?

It looks like a 730, wait the caption says that, lol.:p
I had a 730, not a bad radio and you can pick them up cheap.

[KC0WTS]

I never saw the captions and that's because they weren't there. If you look closely enough you can see that the post was edited around 10:00 when my post was at 9:54. The edit, I assume, was adding the captions and a picture of his "modern side." At first I thought it was a 720 like I have but then looked closer.

I know that it was an attempt at humor.
However it is a 730 none the less, lol.

excuse me for raining on a parade, but think this through.

your callsign info is public information, to INCLUDE your address.
professional, successful (meaning they can, probably, read) burglars operate off info like this.

you can equate it to publishing a funeral notice giving the address of the deceased. this is an open invitation to thieves.

This has been discussed before:

I for one am not worried at all. A smart burglar knows how to steal much more valuable things, that he can actually sell without suspicion, with much less effort.

Well, sometimes the callsign info has an email address. Maybe they'll go there first.

[K0DXC]

I don't have a shack anymore, I'm packing up for my move to Ohio.

Hopefully you will live in a area where there is no antenna restrictions. :D

Worst they can do with my QRZ.com and callsign.ca info is steal my mail.

[ve6wtf]

haha,
I dont have to worry!
had my info removed.

If people want QSL or to beat me up.
They have to email me first. Then I verify in the log book and only then do I send them my address

U.S. hams have to keep their info up in QRZ. Unless they specifically ask Fred to take it down and he agrees.

[K0DXC]

U.S. hams have to keep their info up in QRZ. Unless they specifically ask Fred to take it down and he agrees.

Even then, the info is still in the ARRL listing so it doesn't matter whether it's on QRZ or not. People can still find it.

Nice website. We believe in the same stuff.

[ve6wtf]

ahh,
Well the only reason that is there is because I put it there a week ago

And if someone were to break into my house and attempt to steal my gear,
They would find themselves greeted by the click of the action on my Winchester 30-30 I bought last year for hunting purposes.


You can ask any of the people at school how crazy I can get.
I once had someone trying to come through my window (I live on the bottom floor) I guess they were looking for my sisters room.... well they made a big mistake there! I ended up chasing the little bugger down the street with a crossbow and trust me, he never came back.

This is the beside setup for W9ASS, consisting of vintage Yaesu equipment!

At my house it'd be a smith and wesson m&p or a highpoint carbine.
Of course they'd have to be brought out of the safe first.

[n6hcm]

Even then, the info is still in the ARRL listing so it doesn't matter whether it's on QRZ or not. People can still find it.

because it is in the FCC listing ... but the FCC does not require the locatino of your shack--just a current mailing address. the people who turn up at my listed address will be surprised ...

[ve6wtf]

Agreed,

I bet you five (CDN) dollars that if you called the FCC and said you wished to have your home address removed from the ONLINE database that they would do it.

honestly! if they dont I will mail ya five bucks

[KJ4GOW]

I had an e machine too...It just about crashed one time that I know of, but it made it through somehow...lol As far as I know my parents still have it, but I've heard several people say that it's the best one they've ever seen for lasting so long. It's been a pretty good one.

Here is a pick of my new, upgraded shack. I also have an LCD monitor and a few other radios/tuners/meters off to the side that wouldn't fit in the picture!

The radio is an IC-756PROIII. An Icom/K3LR Multi/Multi tee-shirt is draped over the LCD monitor.
