#hamradio Today I’ll fill you in on how it’s going as far as working with the insurance company on my damaged equipment, and a brief health update. Thank you very much for stopping by the channel.
Hi Darrell, sorry to hear what happened to you. I don't mean the lightning strike, I mean the health problem. Listen, my friend. I am your age, 4 years younger. But I'm far from you, I can't help you much. I'm in Europe. Listen to me carefully. Fuck them on all radios, computers, etc. Take what the insurance company gives you, don't haggle. It's better than nothing. Do everything you can to heal this wound. I think you underestimate the importance of the problem you described in the video. Everything that can be bought is irrelevant except health. Do what the doctors say, listen to what your wife says and think about the future. Near future. When things settle down, then think radios and computers. I wish you to solve this problem as soon as possible so that everything is back to normal. Then buy a new radio, go to the Maldives, whatever you want. I sincerely wish you a speedy recovery, do whatever it takes. Fuck the radio stations, one day when all goes well I'd love to do some DX with you. I will follow the developments around you. 73
Darrell weren't you running the A13B2 antenna? If so you might want to get one on the way if it needs replacing. MFJ owned cushcraft and who knows about future availability. The FTM400 may be an easy fix however the FTM500 is an excellent choice also. Maybe have the insurance buy you a 500 and fix the 400 out of pocket. 73, KB9VKQ
At some point I will get some free time to look at the FTM400 a bit closer. But the FTM500 is is on my list of radios I may replace it with. 73 de N9JOD
@@Darrell_Coquillette I got hit one time lucky me all it fried was the modem and nic cards . You never get back 100% of what was invested and that's a shame
Praying for ya for no more cancer. Our oldest Son passed away 13months ago from cancer, he was 38. Dont mean to be a bummer comment....but "persepective" is very important. Every day is a gift. Enjoy, be thankful. these rough days will pass friend. 73, W9DM
Diet changes and antiparacitics. Look them up. Friend of mine has brain cancer. I told him to look into them. And low and behld,behold, a family friend of his took some anti paracitic and are cancer free now. No radiation. No crazy bills.
