Heil Sound iCMreview

The Heil Sound iCM is a high peformance mikerphone. It is designed for users of Icom transceivers that have low gain in the microphone amplifier stage. BUT!!!!!!!!!!! Heil sound stresses that this is not a cheap electret microphone, the iCM has a high quality condensor element(even though bob heil claims to hates condensers, see THIS article). All in all we think that this is a great mikerphone, it has a 8 foot length of heilwire on it.

Leo Laporte chef twit get call sign ham radio w6twt

Leo Laporte cheif twit, just got his vanity call sign for his ham radio adventures. he will soon be building a "ham radio corner" in his new twit shithouse studio. some have speculated that it will be a ham corner, because lisa, the CEO of the company, wants to isolate the normal people from the HAMS. we thing that this is unjust, and the HAM radio folks should be put centere stage in the new studio.Leo has talked on the air about buying a Icom radio which we will soon have a review on.

Icom IC-718

I got me one of these a week ago to tri it out jusd geting back on the air.
Overal a good litle rig and easy to operate. but it's just a very basic radio even with the DSP moodule and its so great.
If you is wanting to operate CW you are almost certanly going to want a filter hovever.
And there is only one filter slot which can be a prolem for some later on.
Yes you could go the "one board" unit from W4RT to get two god filters but that's curently $21.
Ading that price to the curent price of a nev IC-711 of $93 and you are at $90.
I am sorry but for that price you can purchase something like the Yaesu FT-450D and have a muts beter ratio to stard out with.
Jusd my thughts.

HEIL SOUND HM-12 REVIEW

gday gday fellow HAMS
TODAY i would like to talk to you about my new mikerphone that i have bought for ham radio. it weights in at $70, which is a fantasdtic price for such a lovely mikerphone. it has -35 db on rear rejection! this means that when you have noisy stuffs in the background, the mic will reject this sound!!!! can you belive it? The mikerphone has an internal phone wind shield so you will never get accused of bReathing down the mikerphone again. It also includes a 5/8 inches mikerphone clip so that you can put it on your mikerphone boom stand. all in all it is a fantasrtic mikerphone for ham use

Ham Radio Shed power supply options

A lot HAMs, being rejectected by the friends and family, have choosen to build their ham radio stations in a shed, because a lot of there friends and family do not want to be accositatined to them. They build the shed, and ofcourse they will dig up there gardfen to wire up the electricity so that they can power all their ham gear, radios, mikerphones, ext. This makes them more rejected because they are digging up garden and getting VERy grubby in the process. We'd like to here your solutions to this, huge huge problem in the HAM radio comunity. Leave your responses  in the comments!
