Tuesday night ... WTF is on TV.

Oh, that's right. Nothing. Cable is down again.

Gotta love it. Paying for nothing.

[vladd 26]

which would you guys prefer purely for the novelty, not the sound of the sub

12" avas orrrrr

12" signed logoless RL-p

I might have a trade working up

[vladd 26]

got the stuff steve, thanks a bunch

[Chevy350TPI 12]

No problem - hopefully there are a few questions in there that can help. If not, they'll be ok to study for a final I guess.

i meant used

edd tidd

[vladd 26]

I kinda think the ava would be more of a beater and sound better, but the RLP cone is teh sexy

[vladd 26]

oh, over the weekend i threw some 17hz tones at the avas in the sealed box, excursion ftw

Stop bying a sub cuz of it's cone.

[vladd 26]

lol its not like i'm going for an audiobahn for the chrome, its still a capable subwoofer, i've never owned/heard one in person, perhaps its time

[JimJ 11]

I liked the 15" version when I had it...

Of course, that was before the anodized RL-p's came out to the public, so I thought I was special...

Think Nikuk sold it awhile ago.

If only you stopped SS from implementing the annodized cone, then yours would have been worth millions, billions, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

There's a dude a couple of hours away from me selling a 1kW 2 meter amplifier...too bad it's $1300

I'm still kicking myself for not buying that 500W surplus AM transmitter in SC...if only I had the room for a six foot rack cabinet and 220VAC mains. If I kept it in NC, would have probably sat gathering dust.

[JimJ 11]

I've noticed on one of the engineering buildings there's a VHF/UHF antenna array...looks like a 2 meter and 70cm Yagi, they've always been pointing directly vertical for as long as I've noticed...

May have to ask about 'em, check out how badly they're corroded, if any...getting $300 worth of antennas for the price of some steel wool and a solvent bath is fine by me. I already have a decent 440MHz Yagi, but a 2 meter one would be nice...

Friend of mine is selling one of those. It's titties.

Just in case you're clueless as to what it is, it's a semiautomatic Morse key, or a "bug". So named because if you're bad at sending with it, you sound like a chirping insect...instead of a regular code key where the length of time determines whether or not a dot/dash get sent, you move the lever one way for a dot, the other for a dash. It's unnatural as hell the first time you use one, but it's what the telegraph guys used to use to get 60+WPM reliably.

But...my listening speeds aren't up to the point where I'd benefit from something like that I can send 25wpm fine, but if someone comes back to me at that speed, I'll scratch my head and wonder if he was giving me a signal report or cussing at me.

F...UUUU....
