Morphing Voodoo
Posted: Fri Jun 03, 2011 9:30 pm
I was looking at an old post from December of '09 and I thought to myself: Dude, da Voodoo has got you by the short hairs!!
At the time I had the 870 and the
VX 2000
DSP 1124
PEQ 2200
DSP 2024P
EX 3200
MDX 2200
UB 802 mixer
MXL 990
All that crap except the 3200 has disappeared!!!
Now the station consists of
The only Voodoo modified Yaesu FT 1000 MKV MP
RE-27
Art TPS II Preamp
Voodoo Modified TC Electronic Triple C
DEQ 2496 (which is about to be replaced by the Radius 20)
EX 3200
DSP 2024
882 & 1602 Mixers
As I looked at this journey I have been amazed at how much I have had to learn to this point, how engaging Voodoo has been and how much this is a never ending sojourn of experimentation
My point is this. Without ESSB I dont think I could maintain my interest in the hobby. I dont know about any of you guys but for me when I dial up and down the bands I hear ,, well, I'm just gonna say it, I hear a bunch of boring ass BS!
Listen in to one bunch and you will be able to track the liver spot nets. Tune in on a weekend and you can have 1463 contacts. (Each lasting only 6.3 seconds) Listen in on the "Hi Fi" frequency in the afternoons and you can hear ham radios version of the Merv Griffin Show. You can talk there until the commercial but after that you will have to sit at the end of the couch and just listen.
I wrote on my website that for the younger generation, amateur radio had better get to adopting something in the way of new technology before there is nothing BUT liver spot nets.
With VOIP stuff like Skype, texting, sexting, Myface and Spacebook does anybody really think that 2.4 Fruit of the Loom audio will attract young people when it cant even keep our attention?
But I digress: ESSB and all this stuff is really addictive, challenging and god willing on the road to being legitimized. I can only hope that the excitement I feel is not solely a product of an addictive personality.
You ever look at the Iron Maiden album covers? Theres a character named "Eddie". On one album, Eddie has a web strung down holding a deity, then the devil, then man. I think we should have a poll question.
"Is the Voodoo Guru actually Eddie?" Has anyone ever seen them in the same place at the same time????????
Just wondering
