Long time no transmit # 3.

Well wonderful news as of 10:30 a.m. this morning and up to just a few minutes ago. I now have my wonderful; fully operational VHF/UHF base radio back in the shack and no antenna problems with these bands.

Even though it's only been a few hours I am already on cloud nine and Monday night at 8:30 p.m. I will most definitely be on cloud nine once again. Because every Monday night at 8:30 p.m. there is a SSB net; for years now. And I can't wait to get back on with a bunch of guys to talk radio stuff.

Long time no transmit # 2 Update

To my stunning surprise the blog entry previous to this one; is incorrect. Because moments ago my radio was delivered right to my driveway via FedEx. I am so very happy! unfortunately today I don't have time to play with it. I did however at least open the box, and she still looks brand-new. by the way this particular radio was discontinued 15 years ago, so it's entirely possible that the radio could be 20 plus years old. I'll keep you informed on how it goes.

By the looks of the news just received; moments ago. the necessary repairs and shipment was carried out yesterday afternoon. So with any luck at all I'll have the radio back by tomorrow afternoon or maybe by Monday. And if you haven't noticed I have been waiting; a long over due three years to play with this radio again.

My Quickie Q7 is a go!

As I have mentioned in a previous post it's time for a new wheelchair And two weeks ago I went in to pick out a chair; as well as see what requirements of mine could be granted. To my surprise today around 3:30 p.m. I got the phone call that that initial paperwork was approved swiftly not only by my doctor but my insurance company as well and all of my wishes were met.

In my opinion that is record time for paperwork chasing by any doctor or insurance company these days. With any luck I may have my chair by late September; in time for school. The lady on the phone did say she has seen the ordering process go as quick as two weeks. But my timeline could be as much as a month or more from now. Oh by the way I did change the color, I no longer want root beer brown. I am going for midnight purple.

Some of you really want to know the status of this radio, so this is the story. I believe that it was about four and a half years ago; when I needed this radio repaired.

A week or so ago I sent it off to the manufacturer; for them to fix. Today I got a phone call for an estimate to do the repair. Long story short what is needed is two hours worth of labor for about four dollars worth of parts; in order to have my radio back. It was said that I should have it back by the end of the week or maybe early next week.
