I have for sale the power divider and phasing harness to stack 2 two meter yagis. This came from a pair of Cushcraft A14810S yagis, but should work with other 2 meter pairs also. I am asking $35 for
I have a 7 foot long crossboom available for horizontally stacking 2 two meter yagis. Came in a 2 stacked yagis package and I am only using one of the yagis. It has the boom to mast plate, and breaks
I am looking to get a coax run to get back on 70cm with a fairly short yagi. I need something like 9913flex or LMR400 flex, with connectors installed-probably 75 feet or so. Can anyone recommend a go
And what was wrong with the old rule? Seemed to be working ok for me. 73s John W5TD _________________________________________________________________ http://clk.atdmt.com/MSN/go/msnnkwex0010000001msn
I know what 6m VUCC can and has been done in less than a weekend, but does anyone have an idea as to how quickly someone has earned a 2 meter VUCC? I think I did it in 5 months or so after moving to
Hi Gene, Wow! Never would have thought that 100 grids in a single weekend could be done on 2m. That is surely impressive. Probably need a mixture of enhanced propagation-like Eskip with some tropo or
Has anyone tried using the Supercontrol software with the Yaesu FT847-especially for the full crossband repeat function it has? If so, how does it work? 73s John W5TD ________________________________
So here is another question brought up my your comment, why was 2 meter activity more in the 1980s? Seems like it is easier than ever (and cheaper than ever) to get on 2 meter SSB, with the Icom 706/
I remember using a FT221 that my friend (KA0GOA) had for several contests, and I believe that the Kenwood was the TS700. Also the Kenwood TR9130 and TR9000, plus the Icom 271 and 290. But for those o
I think that many that have a 706/FT100/FT857 today only use the VHF/UHF side for FM work. But you do bring out a good point-the FCC didn't do the VHF/UHF crowd any favors by dropping the code. 73s J
I think this is another problem with getting people interested in VHF weak signal work today. For some reason, many people believe that the horizontal loop is the antenna. It is probably better than
I have a Kenwood TS790A 2m/70cm all mode satellite rig for sale or trade. This is a great all mode radio, but I am looking for something with 6 meters on it. It comes with the hand mic, power cord, m
Pretty similar in my area. We have some Technicians in my area who do 6 meters, but very few on bands above that (weak signal wise)but most only care about APRS and FM. That is all the local club her
And given the change in licensing requirements after April 2000, it wasn't very difficult to upgrade to extra, and now it is even easier. I would bet back in the 80s and 90s there was a much smaller
And you can do that with 6 meters also. It is a lot more to After you have done 5BWAS and over 300 countries on HF, you are always looking for different challanges. HF gets boring after awhile becaus
However at the point where I am at (310 countries worked and confirmed) I am much more likely to work a new grid on 6m on any given day than I am a new country on HF. 73s John W5TD __________________
Tried that with limited success. There is alot of misinformation about the VHF/UHF bands to overcome. Many people could care less about operating at all, except for emergency or chasing storms. Those
I used to believe that myself, but when I look at how popular APRS has become in my area (at least) I had to change my mind. Watching a bunch of locals drive around down on the computer screen has t
I have a Kenwood TS790A 2m/70cm all mode satellite rig for sale. It comes with the hand mic, power cord, manual and original double boxes, and has the tone encoder installed. It is in good shape, but
And if you see the building going mobile on APRS, you know you are really in trouble. 73s John W5TD http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/vhfcontesting ________________________________________
