Aloha gents! Slowly working toward the mobile(pickup truck CW) Eagle. Of course, what happens is something else gets in the way. In this case, work at my mom's house and the notorious Chevy 4.3L inta
I got the frequency counter set up today and decided to hack a 4 pole Cohn ladder filter. Crystals were only matched for frequency. It worked pretty well in the Eagle. However, the center frequency w

I want to try an 80/40 trap dipole at the ATL QTH. For this, I need some traps! I am not keen on coax traps. Preference is for some store bought, KW rated, like those used on Hygain DP-2BDQ or some n

Eagle from the ashes? I've made some noise about this in the past and feel the urge to toss some pennies in the pool on this go-around. TenTec's successes have come from innovation and niche in marke
I'm on a casual 80/40 DX kick until the QRN gets bad. This AM(1145GMT) I hear RA0R calling CQ NA on 7017kc. I don't know where he is but no one is answering him. Poor guy is just calling and calling.
