If you want to run a successful enterprise, put staying in touch with your customer base at the very top of your priority list. 73, Dave AB7E [||] Rather than go into a giant detailed report over thi
Just to be clear, my post certainly was not meant to be "mud slinging"! All of us are in this hobby together and I think it is important to share, not only the good experiences, but also the 'not so
As an ex-engineer, I am not against change, but this suggestion is plain silly for amateur radio. Every ham understands 'Single Point Ground' and/or what it means. If you want to be the ham scientist
Well you are probably correct Roger, but you also bring up the point that I failed to make! If some hams can't understand 'Single Point Ground' how totally confusing is it going to be for them to rea
Well of course not!! To work at UHF, you would have to tint it with some purplish dye first. You should know that?? Tom - W4BQF I wonder I it would work as good at UHF frequencies? Mike --Original Me
Unfortunately Edd, yes. Not only did I never get any confirmation on any orders, the M2800 mast clamp was totally screwed up in the 'manufacturing' process. In order to get the four bolts to go into

This then, means that ICE lightning protectors, with their center conductor at DC ground, are really not good protectors to use? Doesn't it also bring in to question the advice to connect coax shield
Also Hydrogen Peroxide is excellent for both wasp and red ant stings and removes the 'hurt' right away. Nothing works very well, that I have found, on hornet stings and they just continue to hurt lik
I am surprised you don't teach your scout's how to 'witch'? It is super easy and contrary to popular belief, you don't have to be 'possessed' to do it..hihi! Just cut two pieces of copper wire (only
Some things in life really don't need to be explained! I just posted how it is done, but I do not know how or why it works! I use it frequently because the person I bought my QTH from had no drawings
Why are you skeptical of something you haven't even tried yet? I charge finders fee's but I don't pay 'em. Tom - W4BQF The Randi prize is at or over a million dollars now. http://www.randi.org/site/i
I disagree with that statement! Just look at the frequency range usage specification for various types of connectors. Anything beyond that can be covered under the word 'marketing'! Except on high qu
Sure! Connectors are relatively inexpensive. But before you buy them, look at the price of EACH set of crimping tools! Just about exceeds the price of a good solder station! Tom - W4BQF I thought I s
Sorry - this was supposed to go to the reflector and not to Steve! I use a short (4') cable between the K3 'Key Out' and my 8410's 'Relay' input and run high power contest and then QRQ QSO's, without
