    I have used a 50' cable - it is just regular zip cord from Radio Shack with mono plugs attached. Little heavier wire than what is used on the 15' phono cords.

    I actually don't know if I would want to limit our tests. I guess that it would depend on the state of the grounds in any given year, but I do think that it would be good for clubs to have that...

    Great piece of equipment. Never had a misfire (unless you count the time I forgot to take off the safety). Also very easy to use in manual mode.

    The location of the sunrise is always something the judge should be considering when setting up a test for the weekend. I have been wrong before and have had a problem on Saturday morning.

    The guy at Verizon transferred everything from a BB to iPhone. Seems he can do it for any phone, if he has the right cable.

    Its a very very time consuming process. Several years ago, I started scanning 100's of old slides. I ended up returning the scanner and shipping the slides out and having them scanned professionally.

    Obviously, they can be confused on a blind. However, in AKC HT rules, at least, it states "There is no allowance for confusion on blind retrieves". Section 7, page 25 of current rule book.

    I use the Verizon 3G in the winter when training in SC - right on the fringe of the service area but works well most of the time. 3G will be faster than dial up, probably around the speed of DSL. One...

    Never used the 'Neck Tech' but I think that their regular prong is well worth the money. Been using the same one for over 10 years. I don't use the large ones - a medium seems to actually work better...

    I've used 100' of regular lamp wire with 2 plugs soldered on - seems to work fine. Don't use it a lot since that's a lot to have on the ground waiting for a dog to run over.
