    Making an SSB Microphone cable extension

    Does anyone know where to find, or how to make, an extension cable for an SSB mic? I've seen long cable options for ICOM VHF units, but not the M802 SSB. Do you suppose a person could splice a shielded cable into an existing mic cable and get away with it? I'm tempted to try. Thanks...

    2012 TP Qualifier

    Hey, I'm wondering who is planning to head out as a group on a qualifier sail in the next couple months... and when? (I might go if the timing is right--no, Rob, I'm not entering the race! Or I might hang out at Drakes Bay and help with comm.) Paul

    Great news! Encinal Yacht Club, host of the Coastal Cup race, is adding some new divisions to support our strange breed of sailor: doublehanded and singlehanded, both monohull AND, yes, multihull, starting now, 2012. Plus, in future years they are also going to add a longer SHTP-qualifying...

    How long will it take?

    For you numbers folks, or those inclined to scratch their heads a bit :confused:... here's a little fun info in the attached file. Somebody asked about El Niño, and others might just want to know what your target is if you want to beat the odds for your boat's rating. I suppose I believe in the...

    ICOM SSBs

    Hi all, I've been having fun watching quite a few ICOM SSB radios auction off on eBay. Some of you may even be the lucky buyers! So a question... does anyone know what the salient differences are between any of the following: the M802, M710, M700PRO, and M700? There was also one called...

    Band-Aids

    Okay, not really Band-Aids. But close. While on my quest to satisfy the Chief Inspector, I found this pretty cool first aid guide published by the Band-Aid people. Actually, it is so simple and direct, I'm adding it to my kit, even if it doesn't satisfy the "first aid manual" requirement...
