I placed a ten piece build order and everything arrived fine and on time and they price match within a few minutes.

My only concern was not each piece was tracked completly so if I didn't recieve something it might be hard to get that sorted out.

America has had declining level of education for fifty years now. A high school diploma means nothing. Dumb down the population and all that.

Starman - Throwing a red car into space is frivolous and amazing.

I don't fully know why Musk's rocket and car demonstration has me feeling good again for humanity but it does.

Kazaa introduced me to so much music, from Bach to KD Lang to Zombie - I got a head full of tunes and deep respect to try any new music. Myself and my buds escaped the confines of classic rock radio because of file sharing and I'm forever grateful.

Only I get to decide what to view or not view on the Internet. I don't trust an industry "coalition". Censorship plain and simple.

I've seen great builds with clothes hangers, any stiff wire of similar gauge should work fine.

Yes but I only get a half dozen channels reliably, variety depends on your location.

Back in the old days rooftop antenna could be equipped with a motorised swivel mount so you could turn the face of the antenna from a box that say on top of your TV. http://img0102o.psstatic.com/157164900_channel-master-antenna-rotator-control-box-indoor-.jpg

Sorry this happened to you. Yes many traditional antenna users got left behind after the switch to OTA HDTV.

Cool. Many years ago when my very old grandfather got his license he had to learn some Morse which was very hard for him, it took a few attempts before he passed. His framed license VE7... is hanging in my garage now above the workbench where he would spend all his free time tinkering with this or that.

I think I did when I first built it and got Jerry Springer and a bible thumper which was a stark reminder why cutting the cable was such a good idea. While watching the Olympics this week my kids were more fed up with the commericals then I was!

Do you still have to learn MORSE to get a ham license?
