- Seasons of the Radio Hobby (ft. Kenwood TS-520S)
I return from radio hibernation with some musings on the seasons of the radio hobby. Showing off my spiffy Kenwood 520S. This video features a near-attempted QSO.
Indeed very good to hear from you again! I enjoy listening to you! You make me realise what a nice global community we have. And don’t worry about the seasons; that’s how life goes! Take care!
Very glad to see you again, Thomas!
Glad you're back. Thanks for the video!
absolutely wonderful to have you back. I'm not part of the radio hobby (outside of using them for musical performance) but I have always enjoyed your videos. It's great to see a new upload!
I'd be interested to know more about your music! Thanks for the kind comment!
WOW A blast from the past
Welcome back, I enjoy your channel and it's good to hear your voice again.
When I became a novice back in 1982, that was my first rig. I always remember it as a solid performer that provided many hours of solid radio fun!
Omg! Welcome back! Happy 2024!!!
Welcome back!
What a great pleasure to see you again, the videos are always so great. Another time for other adventures. 👍
Thanks for the video nice to be back. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱📻
Very stable VFO! Much more so than my TS830S. I really liked the White VFO window on the original TS-520. Not sure why Kenwood only did that with the 520.
I too did go quiet with short wave fixing after going through some personal issues. Only recently took a couple off the shelf and started again so I think it's normal. Good to hear from you always a pleasure.
Welcome back. Good to hear from you again.
I buy radios for a while, then I sell them again, I buy synthesizers for a while, I sell them for a while, photography equipment for a while, I sell and buy radios for a while... I see magic in this for a while, and then in something else. But I often keep some of it.
I thought I was weird, but I guess I'm not the only one :)
Thank you for this thought
PS.: But the older I get, the more I try to simplify my life and not overwhelm myself with material things.
Great to hear you again. Take care.
Welcome back! It's good to hear your voice.
Thank God you are back... Welcome.... happy new year
Glad your back!
Guy around 16:00 sounded like “Sling blade” guy 😄
Welcome back. What sort of antenna are you using? I’m guessing some sort of fun home brew…
There he is!
I have the TS 520se and the TS530sp. The 530 has "WARC", bands
welcome back tom
I hear you, I shut down and sold everything back in 83, 84. About 5 years ago, my wife bought me a FT-1200, and FT-400 with antennas. Well, my radios plus has multiplied and now have 9 units, an antenna farm, 50 ft freestanding tower, a 35ft tower, and since I've had it, I may have talked 2, 3, hours. lol. I tried code and my timing is off, so just bought a training key. :) So, I just wanted to say, you're not along.
Very long time gone.
Welcome back!
