Nice review of the Heathkit DX-40. 73 Paul AA1SU

I would enjoy seeing the guts of it if you have the time for another video. W1GCF

Soo True

As a fellow AT long hiker , thank you for sharing your hike .

Prophet my ass!

FYI... it's actually "amateur radio".. you like that word "ham" don't you.

generalization, tool of the ignorant.

Have loved this since I first saw it! A lot of truth here! It is good to see it pop up every so often.

U are definitely funny

DL9PIG is a swine for sure.

Love your content. Wow, it is a revelation, thank you very much for what you posted. By the way at 6:11, you stated "no one is all that anxious to talk to a king..." It should read eager not anxious. Recall, anxious implies fear, dread, anxiety, sadness, and the like, all negative emotions. Whereas eager indicated a positive feeling as in looking forward with excitement to something. Recalling my Latin studies, anxious came from the Latin word Angere, its implication was to choke or strangle someone. Thus, nobody is looking forward to being choked nor strangled. The word anxious has an emotionally negative connotation, unlike eager being a very positive feeling looking forward to something. Thank you for reading.

Beautiful transmitter! God bless - Joe VE7LSB

Nice video and love the old rigs, but that qso is with my old friend Gary N5PHT not K5PHT. He has moved from Savoy, TX to Kansas now. Nice to hear my friend on the old reciever. Thanks de W5SWV

This person is exactly right. I first got my license in 1966. Still have my license but I haven't been active since 1996. Got out of the hobby for the reasons outlined by this person. Amateur radio used to be fun years ago, It is not anymore.

So this was corrected with a firmware update? It would be helpful if you would post that.

One thing about this guy. He isnt Liein, he speaking the truth

I think Burt passed away. RIP Burt

What a bitter old prick. I'm 60 and I'm doing my level best not to be anything like Burt.

At last. Honesty. You’re a brave man though. Good on yer.

I sure am happy for you working A61E Burt and sure glad you didn't go wee wee in your pants!

Great stuff Bert,

I was born in 1945. "Little Darling" put the spark in me.😊😊😊

Antenna?

Do you know dude I hate to admit it, but you are right on a lot there is a lot of Truth in what you said especially about contesting. I cannot stand contest is or contests a contest is whenever you win money or prizes not to get your name and call sign in a damn magazine such egotistical dipshit in my opinion.

I love this vintage equipment! I can remember when someone first showed me the light bulb trick. It was on a solid state 100 watt radio, but the bulb still lit up even though it was a 2:1 VSWR. Happy Memorial Day!

Considered Parks on the Air but buddy said that I really should SPOT myself which is announcing online your expected location, frequency and time. OK, maybe. Contacts are then a few seconds. Wow. Finally, CW slower than about 25 wpm is not welcomed. Ops out there dont like to slow down. Done no hamming in early retirement.

5/2024:Good Day From The Future. "Hiding", yes. CB Radio, many years ago. A friend belonged to a CB club. One day a guy with the "Handle" of "Bad Penny", got into an argument with my friend on the radio. BP made a threat to my friend and they agreed to meet in person. When my friend stood up out of his car, he was MUCH Taller then BP. That's when it ended. "Talk can be cheep". I've always been interested in HAM & SW listening. I still listen to Short Wave, HAM sometimes and I have a 100 foot wire outside antenna. SW is nothing at all like it was in the 1960's, etc, anymore. A lot of religious bunk these days. I do like the toys, but too much involved in HAM in my opinion, for myself. I don't have that much to talk about, but it could be fun. CB Radio hasn't changed... Times Change. * I like this posting. I could enjoy talking to you on the radio, if I had one. Thank You & Best Regards.

Very fine ! Does it have built-in loudspeaker ? 😀

An OM with too much time on his hands...focus on something you like

Interesting piece of history there. 73 Paul AA1SU

Beautiful radios I have a lot of old radios love them. 73s pal

I have one of these, but I have yet to fire it up. I been given it during the lockdown, but I haven't had time to check it out. To be honest I am a bit intimidated by it with all those controls! 🙂

Old skool rules...

I thought this was sarcasm at first. Imagine being so upset at a hobby.

Can you hear people on ssb? Do you need a frequency generator to hear people on Ssb?

Do you listen to ssb? And if so do you need a frequency generator to listen to ssb

Due to the Internet and modern communications yes, we don't need to know Morse code and we don't need HAM radios, but HAM is still important, as a backup, in the event that all other forms of communications go down, I checked the exams, its only basic electronics questions and some radio communications questions, we should all learn, it could save you're life and others in an emergency.

Beautiful rigs. Thanks for sharing.

Funny. These days I live and let live. But I can't stand zealots of any kind.

Good work. I believe you only scratched the surface. I could go on for hours about the stupidy. Sadly it is a dead hobby.

Great video, thank you,

Burt's Better than the better I bet!

Timmy!

This video is always so funny every time I watch it because it's true.

Much better than the video by that other guy. When he wasn't filming the ground, his camera was falling over. 73 Paul AA1SU

Just came across this one, 13 years later. Enjoyed it. 73 Paul AA1SU

What antenna are you using

Howdy Burt .. I recently posted your videos on my Facebook page ... Its been a long time and some people in the HAM community either have no sense of humor or you are absolutely RIGHT . ... By the way I have been to England , Scotland , Wales , Ireland twice and Puerto Rico 31 times (including the HAM radio festival in Hatillo) and took my Grandson to Puerto Rico where we visited the Arecibo Dish and got a VIP tour with Angel Vasquez .... Thats something I can talk about forever .

I have not seen a Simpson 260 multimeter used since the 80's/90's when i was on AD with the US Air Force Civil Engineers
