I will probably be out of town for a football game for that 6m Sprint, but as it gets cooler, I will be on VHF bands more. To the station in DM05 that responded to me(didn't remember the call), I hav
Saw a post by Bill,AA6TT. I remember the signal he put out with the stacked 6m beams @200'. Was wondering if the group is aware of any VHF/UHF amateur station using a tower taller than 200'. The tall
Thanks to all who replied to my post per tall antennas. AA6TT told me that W8JI and KC1XX had permission from the FAA to put up towers taller than 200'. In matters of being a threat to safety of airp
The marketing guys tell me that 222 isn't a ham band worldwide. I know of no one in TN active on VHF that has 903, and not many 1296 ops. I would push for 222 more than the 903 and 1296, because if a

Yes, Rick, there is 4 volts on the antenna. This is also the case on the IC-502. This is to allow the radio to drive an ICOM amp, which has to be biased to take the drive. I had the 502 which used an
AA9D used to operate from Bald Knob. He used to put in an awesome signal when I worked him from AL when I lived there. Seems like it is over 1,000 feet above sea level.I will see what I can find abou
