  1. you would need to hook up at the breaker I don't have the fancy thing that starts the gen and runs the house all by itself in a power outage but what you can do is run the gen to the breaker box and hook it into a 220 set of breakers when there is a outage turn the main breaker off any breakers you don't want to run off and the breakers to the gen on start gen... I have fridge and lights and tv and fan for my furnace running..I turn off the hot water heater and a few other things....if I want hot water I need to turn off fridge and a few other things once the water is hot turn the breaker back off....in summer if I turn everything off but lights..I can run the air conditioning when power is restored you turn breaker for gen off in the panel and main poer breaker back on and you are good to go..if that makes any sense
  2. forrest, you are correct but because he didn't want a longer antenna, I assumed he would not want to move it higher, would be much the same as getting a longer antenna and as for "An antenna that is designed for a particular application will refocus the available wattage to a direction that another antenna will likely pick it up. For example you do not want your antenna transmitting to space, that just wastes wattage." as much as that is 100% right, it really does not apply to signals on the water different wave antennas can change the angle at which will leave and so if you are in a city you want one that sends the signal at a high angle to get over the tall buildings but on the water the ground plane is the same from one end of the lake to the other so the marine vhf antennas don't vary as much as other vhf . any 2m amp would do as long as you are within the freq. wattage limit....
  3. Now that's what I am talking about the OFC Family
  4. a real expensive radio will help a bit but there are only 2 ways to increase signals longer antenna or increase watts you can buy a vhf ampliflier
  5. see the narrows are open enough to launch a boat, just like I said
  6. lovetofish, I was fishing right beside you for a while
  7. Well it has been some crappy days sense my ATV went missing, but today I thought I would welcome spring with some river fishing most of the places I post about for crappie around simcoe are open/ somewhat open or will be later this week I have not picked up my big boat yet so I put the folding boat on the back of the truck and off I go.. lots of ice flowing down the river and junk, tons of junk floating by I tried under the bridge but not much luck then by the fallen trees and picked up a few then I fished the edge of the remaining ice and there were lots there... so I played for a couple of hours and came home.. but I was on the water..yippy.. <a href="http://s25.photobucket.com/albums/c52/Mrbeee1954/?action=view&current=PHTO0003-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c52/Mrbeee1954/PHTO0003-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s25.photobucket.com/albums/c52/Mrbeee1954/?action=view&current=PHTO0004-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c52/Mrbeee1954/PHTO0004-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s25.photobucket.com/albums/c52/Mrbeee1954/?action=view&current=PHTO0006.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c52/Mrbeee1954/PHTO0006.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s25.photobucket.com/albums/c52/Mrbeee1954/?action=view&current=PHTO0007.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c52/Mrbeee1954/PHTO0007.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
  8. DAMN DIRTY APES he was a star
  9. FTA getting the free channels are fine, but not enough choices for most people FTA using third party bins to get bell or dish, if you don't mind that it is illegal,then think of it as a hobby at best, because all but one make, is down as much as it is up ..a hobby I have the expressvu 9242 dual tuner dual record HDTV receiver with the big channel package...
  10. now wait solopaddler has be here about a year and one half..hardly in the old boys club.....LOL..a good fisherman who can tell a great story with pictures Irishfield I think I have been around here 3 times as long or longer, he just posts a lot and helps out anyone who needs it along the way.did I say he post a lot ......I will pay for that one just because someone around here states his opinion, doesn't mean he's in the old boys club.. I know. cause I'm the doorman for the club........ people around here do state what they think.......it's not a personal attack...just their opinion
  11. well it was not a bomber that's my secret sheephead lure but Joe did tell me to get rid of it and use real walleye lures
  12. that was pretty darn good
  13. I did do a little test... and trolling for walleye less then 15 ft of stained water it made no difference at all... in the one clear water lake we trolled it did seem to make a little difference, but not a great difference using jigs for small mouth bass I saw a day when you could not catch a bass on mono, I was the guy using mono after he caught about 15 bass and I had not caught one, even after trying many lures and using the same one he was, he said are you using fluoro on your line cause I am I said no didn't bring any I grabbed one of his rods and started catching bass, one for everyone he caught.. I switched back to mine a few times but just couldn't get one on mono near the very end of the day it got cloudy I went back to the mono and caught fish so I really believe that the clearer the water the slower you fish and more you need floro but have not put it to the test in deeper water, but would think it will not be as much of a factor
  14. just a great read ..and pictures too I hope I can help this year in some way
  15. good info thanks

  21. if it's legal, then what's the problem.......
  22. good luck out there....it's always a great day when the kids get out with you
  23. so what does the inspection do for me.....gets me a sticker what happens if it fails....am I then banned from using my boat, till it's up to his standards... maybe I am missing something but from what I have read (not much) it seems to be for small commercial vessels I am not trying to be a pain, I just want to have it all figured out in my head.......
  24. and we are going dark ouch damn, I stubbed my toe
  25. well it's about time, people were starting to talk I think it was/is a cash grab
