Many years ago, 30, Jim K9MTE, near Chicago then, did what you want with a 4BTV and if I remember it did work. I think, through many cobwebs, his was higher than are trying but it seems like 30ft is
Can we separate myth, from magic, from fact. A full-sized vertical, for a given, band will have a lower angle of radiation than a full-sized dipole, for the same band, when the dipole is at @50ft. Tr
During the recent WPX contest I had just over 300 Q's on 40m only. I checked LOTW tonite and I have slightly over 70 of those QSO's, from the contest, confirmed, including both DX and Stateside. That
Tom it worked every single time. I was a W9 then and had a 204 at 100ft w/kw. All you had to do was match its pulse rate with your keyer. Usually took less than a minute and it would be gone. I think

I suspect ICOM was looking for input from a specific marketplace. i,e, the US. I've filled in other surveys from ICOM before when they had input from everyone/everywhere. Hmmm I'm curious about someo

I ordered all my big 126 watt '''BRITE WHITE'''' bulbs on line from a place called bulbs.com. Yes I paid more but I knew exactly what I was getting. Brite White seems to be the perfect color because
