Only a couple months late this got recommended to me lol; Thanks for coming out! Would love to chitchat about tech stuff with you all!
I'm astonished that the cartridge could still function. Those old Rochelle salt crystal things had a bad habit of soaking up humidity and deteriorating to power..
We still have pay phones in Australia they're provided under a law called the universal service obligation so Telstra our phone company has to provide them to everyone the uso so we still have pay phones in Australia and now Telstra have made it so we don't have to pay for local or national calls and we can also call to pay phones because every Telstra payphone in Australia now has their own phone number
Just found one at an estate sale.. crazy to think it'll be 100 in a year!
You guys are incredible. I love you all. The best thing since radio ham, ghost busters, and Beverly hills cop 2024. 👍 👍 👍 ❤️ ❤️
Subscribed. You guys should be on telly uk. The top gear for synth nerds. Love it! ❤️
Love this
If you are going to be successful in the UHF contest, and probably VHF contesting in general, you should probably join some of the VHF groups and make some "skeds." The trouble is you have a relatively small group of contesters, and each one uses a high gain antenna with a very tight beam width. So it's difficult to randomly find each other. But don't give up! The difficulty factor makes success all the more sweeter 🙂 73 my friends, and I hope to make QSO's with you guys soon! K9ZF EM78el
Any group suggestions? Not sure where to find the best! -Timmy KB9SNL
what size is this speaker 12"?
oh geeze. I haven't played L.O.R.D in like 30 years. We used to login exactly at midnight (since it restarted every night) and kill everybody we could that wasn't in the inn and take all their money. Ahh, it was good times.
Great video. Amateur TV is one of the reasons I got into ham radio in 2003. I wish I would of kept one of my Analog CRTs. I was running out of space in my shack, and Greg was coming over. He said he couldn't sleep with that hum. I gave them to Goodwill. He slept great that night on the floor of my Shack, but I may never forgive him.
We need a 21st century website for amateur radio metadata... qrz, eqsl, LotW are all crusty web 1.0 raw doggin html with no SSL support
It's just like Carly Simon said, " It's coming around again."
Thanks for making this video because there’s literally no other video like yours.. lol it’s like why don’t more people still love these wondrous old machines !!! ❤
I encountered a non-blocking error, but instead of detailing it here, I announced it in LORD instead, so you have to read the daily news (or just make a new account/character today and it'd probably happen).
About those: Both the non-blocking and etchings crash are known issues in LORD 4.07. I've long considered rolling back to the last "Seth Able Robinson" version, v4.00a, which was super stable, but that would mean resetting the game and it's been going on for so long that I'd hate to do so! - Timmy
멋진 라디오 입니다...
That is pretty awesome, Tim. It LOOKS and sounds like you had some authentic ham radio fun for FD24. How much juice would it take to reach BNLHS?
Honestly, if we plan it carefully, we could likely accomplish it from the club site to BNLHS with just that 1 watt transceiver! -Tim
Good stuff, but putting a Panasonic switcher/mixer on the ground and using 1970s televisions as monitors is backward!
1990 I believe. Now I wish I didn't throw mine out!😅
the exact set I got.I carved a propeller out of Balsa wood on a motor & made a Crude wind generator out of my bedroom window..only made 1-2 Volts but it did work.
Got a good chuckle from the C-64 T-shirt. Brings back memories of the good days.
Hawkins = Bedford??? lol
Nathan is convinced of this LOL 🤪 - Timmy
I fully expect you guys to buy 3 big hair wigs and put on an 80's concert now 🙂 Just get Justin to channel his inner David Lee Roth!
Scheint so als wolle Roland nicht lernen und mal ein gescheites Display reinbauen, womit es sich eindeutig leichter navigieren lässt. Hauptsache alles schön billig bauen und in Plastik verpacken und dafür dann viel Geld verlangen. Man zahlt hier ja nur noch für diesen weißen Schriftzug auf dem Gerät.
Every ham club needs a stump to put stuff on.
Ein schöner Synth. Wenn ich jetzt sage, fantom kann das auch und noch mehr😊. Aber trotzdem ist roland System 8 gut.
y'alls cornbread ain't quite done in the middle, is it?
No matter how hard we try, it never finishes baking right!
Last field day I went to I brought my two uncles to see If I could get them into ham radio. One of my uncles got some food and they told me this isnt a family gathering. It went downhill from there. There was no chance anyone would take off their headphones to talk about their equipment. Let alone let anyone use the equipment. We stood there and talk to each other for about 1hour then my uncles said to me if this ham radio is this I don't want anything to do with it. That was 6 years ago I never went to another one. What a disappointment. Young guys always get the short end of the stick in ham radio.
Excellent comment. I have witnessed this myself, and I think it's an unfortunate side-effect some groups of hams get into with Field Day...they want those "public event" bonus points, but then are unfriendly to or ignore visitors. In that case, I feel it should not be a contest at all, more of a "demonstration day". It seems to sometimes get very out of balance for too many hams. -Timmy KB9SNL
Tech-No, That is sad to hear. FD is all about outreach. Without question a thrown away opportunity for that club, for your uncles, and for you.
AJ1 was my first synthesizer. I still have several, and love them. AJ2 is better. Not just because of the velocity and AT, but the build quality is much better. As of 6/24, AJ-1s are about 400. AJ-2s are slightly more. Single oscillator, PWM, and wonderful Roland chorus.
I tried soldering a Heathkit radio kit. I only picked up a country station.
3OTD has never been the same since Justin left;)

If only! 😂
@@3oldtechdudes Would be a fun extra intro. Nice to see a radio episode again, keep up the good work.
@pixeluser175 thanks! We are releasing episodes on ham radio every Tuesday going forward! Thanks for watching us!
You guys rock! I’ve been the “VHF Guy” for our club for years. Back in the early 2000’s I would always bring gear for 6m, 2m, 222, & 432/440. I would always pick up a few contacts on the upper bands. However, after a few years the activity on the upper bands just disappeared so I quit bringing equipment. If 6 meters opens I will pick up tons of contacts there, but hardly ever hear anyone above that anymore. But! If you guys are going to start bringing gear, I will start bringing my stuff again 😊 I can swing 6m and 2m this year, but I don’t have any antennas ready for 222 and 432/440. But next year we should easily be able to work on all 4 bands. Maybe even 900 Mhz FM too 😊 It will be fun to work celebrities!! 73 Dan, K9ZF. VHF Guy for the Clark County Amateur Radio Club field day group, W9WWI. Right in the middle of good ol’ EM78.
We’re gonna have a decent beam up for 6m…I bet we can pull that off easy with you!
It always amazes me how closely our two clubs mirror each other 🙂 When I was president, I kinda pushed to make field day a more serious event so we could hone our technical and emergency service skills. And, it took a lot of the fun out of the event! For the last few years we have backed off and made our moto "just have fun"! We may not score as many points, but everyone has a good time. QRZ field day, W9WWI, 3A IN.... K9ZF
It does seem like your all’s club is the most like ours, of all the nearby clubs!
I want ice cream! 🙂
It’s a ham culture thing. Been that way forever.
The picture FEEL of early mavica cameras is something else. FD7 pics look like paused vhs
I remember the Donkey Kong port being good. Alpiner was pretty cool too. I also had a text command adventure game which featured some graphics. I can't remember the name of it. I think you wake up on a large sailboat in the beginning. Certainly better than anything that my Atari 2600 could do.
This is plain stupid as Networks are rarely hacked as they are after Data which is secure according to the ARRL. As for backups they should be stored in a 100% secure environment on an unwritable medium ( Disk ) and as such can be loaded from there.
What if it isn’t salvageable? What would replace it?
I wouldn't be able to resist the temptation to put in longer flippers so the ball would never drop 🙂 73 my friend, K9ZF
dried out plastic and repeated impacts from that heavy, steel ball 🙂
Penetrating oil and a small 'cheater' pipe on the hex wrench? Over tightened probably damaged the small thread...
Fauzi says all we have to do is wear two masks and shelter in place and it will be fine.
just a few more jabs
But....but....but I trusted the science.......😂
HI THERE. 3 years later.......I just bought my first C64 and C128....I am learning 8 bit assembly because I am convinced an 8 bit computer is ALL YOU NEED problem is...I have no idea what I am doing haha....learning like its 1985
Fun! I have not advanced much beyond what I learned for the c64 to make this video, but I do want to learn/become skilled in assembly on the c64 and other 6502 machines down the road. It's very interesting! - Timmy
like the ride Nathan.... looks like it needs a HF mobile with a bug catcher on it... the bigger, the better!!!
😀
This long of a lapse of an on-line service says a few things. 1. Backup copies were non-existent, faulty, or compromised. 2. They were not running their servers in a virtual environment capable of rolling back. 3. They may have lost data and may be ‘negotiating’ with the hackers. All of these are very bad. A modern, secure IT shop would have had these servers restored and back up in hours, even minutes! My guess is they had one rickety old server running in Newington on a flat network with little isolation from other servers.
100%! Absolutely agree. Not good! -Timmy KB9SNL
VERY NICE
I wish I had renewed my GRTOL I didn't realize you had to do that and apparently it lapsed.
ARRL is rapidly becoming the super secretly run society. Everyone just fall in line with whatever the league says. Its members deserve better.
