Re: Fw: K2 for sale

Get a loop antenna, stretch some strings across it, hang a feather in the middle and call it a Dreamcatcher. Which it is!

Re: Fw: K2 for sale

Take up Summits on the Air and invite the wife to hike with you and watch you put up a temporary antenna attached to the K2 on a peak with a great view.

Everyone happy!

Re: K2 for sale

In reply to this post by EricJ

Sell the wife! Mine was reluctant at first, but I told her, what didn't you get... I had radio equipment on my apartment kitchen table when we were dating, I had been in the hobby since early teens and if you think I am giving up this hobby, not going to happen! She has slowly relented over the last 46 years.

Re: K2 for sale

Not much of a secondary market for wives.

Nice small portable rig calls for portable ops.

Just sayin'

OK Guys, let's tone it down. These posts are bordering on inappropriate.

Also note that both sexes are represented among our list readership.

Re: K2 for sale

I second the mag loop antenna or hidden antenna idea like they use in The Villages

https://www.k4vrc.com/uploads/1/0/1/5/10156032/present-tvarc_antenna_guide.pdf

and portable operation when the wife has other activities with her lady friends..... if Ham Radio is the hobby that puts a smile on your face (and in your heart) there are “ways” to enjoy it. If you give up this easily Ham Radio isn’t high on your list and I understand. I had radio before my wife came into the picture and she still complains about my wires in the back yard occasionally but I could complain about her buying scrap booking supplies but never using them or garage saleing buying more stuff that the grandkids don’t need or want ..... there are trade offs. It has worked for 45 years. Just my not so humble opinion.
