Hello everyone, was in astronimy back in 80 & 90s, I then packed away

the C8 and other equipment. Now I thought I would drag the tripod out

set it up and see if I can still find some M objects.

I am also a ham radio operator (n4aeq) and operate all modes on most bands, I like to build may own ham and astronomy equipment but allways rely on the factory made equipment for serious operation or star gazing.

Hello Chuck and welcome to the SGL.

Yes, CB was a hobby of mine for some 40 years until I moved up to HAM radio (KB1LHE) in 2004. But stargazing has always been my favorite hobby besides fresh water fishing.

Wishing you many clear, dark skies and good propagation on HF.

Thanks, I will also log in amateur call signs just in case I run across any of you in the air waves and Mr Q I often talk to stations in your area on 40m during the mornings.
