Sorry for cross posting if that offends anyone. I went to use my KB6KQ loops yesterday during the VHF contest and the 6 meter loop would not load. It caused a high SWR indication on my FT-100 at 50.1
OK maybe I should have added this to the original post so here goes. Yes, I tried a different piece of coax (twice) that was in service on a higher band just to make sure. All three pieces were virtu
I believe that both of them are pretty good radios and each will features and quirks that you will either like or dislike. I have an original FT-100 with the factory mods done under warranty. I used

There's a number of FT-736 owners out there, I am one of them, and I just recently picked up a 222 module for it, *_AND_* I just got a KB5KQ loop so don't write off 222. Now why doesn't everyone take
I tend to disagree, however, I'm not saying you're wrong or I'm right because I believe that both are valid OPINIONS. I just think that roving should be something you (PERSONALLY) want to do for the
I like his spoof call sign W6/HA2YOU/R thats cute. It reminded me of a guy that got busted on 40m years and years ago running the call, Sierra Hotel One Tango, yes I know some of you graduates of pub

It would appear to me that for the most of the country and most V/UHF operators (with some exceptions so don't flame me about what you do) treat the V/UHF contests (all of them) as either a SO, rover

At the moment my V/UHF contesting / station is coming together slowly as it does with most hams that I know. At present I have a FT-736R that is equipped with 50/144/222/430. (I also have a FT-100) A
