Radio and Tractor

Good evening Farmall folks. Just sitting thinking at my desk and I was wandering if there is any Ham radio operators or Tractor Nets on the Amateur radio.

Never heard of any....73 from WA1STH
 
I am General class license holder and thought how cool that would be to have one or just a rag chew time on the radio. Maybe once a week or nightly to talk trator.

Let give it a try. What Frequency and Day would you guys like to try? My work schedule changes from week to week so I'll attempt to play catch up. However I am off work at 7pm on the days I do work.

Amateur Extra, but I never use it.

Call me antisocial, but I never really enjoyed talking to random strangers on the radio.

I guess what it is is that I'm not big on small talk. I'll enjoy an hour long conversation with a stranger, but really struggle with the "soo... nice weather, huh?" type stuff.

Radio lends itself more to small talk. So I got out of it years ago.

I've considered getting back into CW but - would have to buy back into the hobby...
 
I know the feeling I am not big on it either, But if it would be an interesting subject for us maybe it would be worth while. If I can talk freely here? If you can hear me and I can hear you then the radios are working. (small talk) Now how to tear a transmission out of a tractor now that would be horse of different color.

Hello, name is Paul , WG0G
I do not know of any current nets for tractors.
I operate daily and have HF to UHF in my car. I cover a 7 state area and use ham radio to pass the time between stopping to look at and try and buy old Farmall"s. I spend most of my time on 40M and 80M.
Pick a time and freq, will try and meet you. I can also stop and look at tractors for sale in the upper mid-west area.

Ok guys how does 40 meters 7.235 at 8pm EST.
and 80 meters 3.935 at 9pm EST sound to you?


I may or may not make every night due to my profession (Firefighter) but I will try.

Talk to you tonight.

If you guys get something going please post time and frequency..Thanks
Obviously time and frequency will play a big role in whether or not we can communicate depending on individual geographical location. I am in NH and in most cases can comunicate with Maine on 80 during the day and with some reliability in the evening. Keep me posted
 
I agree it's a great idea- I just don't have a radio!

gave mine to an old friend, thinking I'd eventually buy a new one if I got back into it - just hasn't happened.
