Cushcraft makes a 6m/2m/70cm triband beam, where the 6m side is horizontal and the 2m/70cm portion is vertical. That might work for you if you are using vertical polarization on 2m/70cm. I am curious
The Icom 746, 736, 756all suffer from it. Not sure about the 7000. You can't beat a TS690SAT for an HF/6 rig given its size and price my 706 jcplatt1@mmm.com _________________________________________
2m VUCC with any antenna is pretty impressive, as it is pretty difficult, but with an indoor antenna is amazing! What antenna(s) were you using? I did get 6m VUCC and a 125 sticker using an indoor di
I have a Radio Shack TV rotor which has been in use for around 10 years, and is currently turning my 2m and 70cm beams. It handles the antennas with no problem, but I am wondering if anyone has any i
May got an F. The worst May I have ever seen for 6m. Very few openings. The June contest got an A. Some of the best conditions I have seen for a June contest. Overall, the season so far gets a D. A g

We just bought a new (to us) 2007 Chrysler Town and Country Minivan. The salesman went over the fact that the van has a computer in it a couple of times. Has anyone had problems with their rig affect

Hi Ellen, The TS790 is rated pretty high, has twice the power of the Yaesu FT736Ron 2m and 70cm, with a 1.2g option. It also will do dual receive, which the FT736R won't do. Also, one of the FT100D/F
Hi Ellen, So overall what was the general consensus of the list, and what do you plan on getting? 73s John AA5JG _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesti
I have heard rumors that Yaesu did make a prototype 222mhz module for the FT726, and a few did get out into general circulation. I have never seen one myself, but have heard a couple of people say th
I worked ND2X/M in EM14 today on 2m and that reminded me that CSVHF is this weekend in Wichita. I had definitely planned on attending since it is only a 4 hour drive for me, but then life got in the

I have been following this discussion for some time now, and have the following questions: Where exactly in the rules does it prohibit grid circling? Where is part 97 does it prohib this practice? Wh
But then wouldn't this mean that no station should take any off time, as that would violate the idea of working as many stations as possible. Also, that means that we all must get on as many bands as

stations are not operating as teams. How do you know this? There is plenty of team contesting at the HF level (NAQP, NAspring, etc) how do you know it doesn't occur at VHF? has better antennas, bette
