There isn't that much left after the last round. 3500-3599 for CW all digital modes. It is the phone people that have too much of the 80/75 band! ;-) -- Jim K0XU _____________________________________

I buy mine from therfc.com. They have quite a selection, so be carefull to order exactly what you need or call them your order. _______________________________________________ _______________________
Go to your local big box (Lowe's, Home Depot, etc) and look in the electrical section for "strain reliefs". Use a bunch of them here. Around $2.00-$2.50 ea if memory serves. -- Jim K0XU _____________
I'm guessing a hy-gain 52SS because it looks a lot like my 54HD but lighter. The SS versions were not self supporting and were meant to be bracketed to the house or have the bottom section guyed. ask
I'm away from home, but it seema like my die is something like 0.178. I usually refer to a table that I down loaded fromm RF Industries web page. The strip lengths are not always dead on for other co
I would mount it to the horizontal mast section, but with 2 plates with slots to allow aiming. The plate on the boom mounted as you would for horizontal orientation, plate on mast flat on top of hori
I got mine from the Joplin Amareur Radio Club. See them at: www.joplin-arc.org Comes as a kit of course, assembles easily, works well. _______________________________________________ ________________

Long ago I stopped using bolts to mount my rotators to the tower. I loctite a stud in, then use a jam nut after that. This also makes it easier to align with the holes in the rotator plate. Then I al
The local zoo used to sell big cat "droppings" to scatter in gardens. Claimed to be highly effective. However I can claim no first hand knowledge. Jim Rhodes K0XU Sent from my Droid Razr Maxx _______
Look in the MFJ catalog. They sell all the meters used in their equipment. You could probably also download the manuals with schematics to have the start of the circuitry needed to make them read pro
I went with the DC and trickle charger too. Inside with big wire going to tower (it is less than 10ft from the house). My reason for doing it this way instead of AC is that I can lower my tower AFTER
