Thanks to K1GX who noticed I was distorted on 1296 using a Demi and Pro3 in transvert mode. I had installed a 1:4 Demi 10mhz splitter that uses my Z3801 for freq lock to the Apollo 32 board that morn
Greg and all, The Henry 2004 is a piece of junk, I have owned one. It is an extremely poor design and it literally blew up and shot flames into the ceiling. Living very close to K1FO who makes the Lu

Hello Duffey and all, I am so impressed how well organized rover stations are and how neat the installs look, it makes me want to take my home station apart and start over. Hope to work more of the R
Hi Gene and all, I am not a rover nor do I comment on the rules. Today a well known rover, W1RT, visited and showed me his amazing computer controlled rover setup. Kinda like taking my entire base st
I agree, do not give up anything. The next attack will be from internet providers like Clearwire who are already building wireless sites (not voice cellular) and will need more spectrum. Their sites
Gene, Thank you for a well thought out and written testimony on how the ARRL is dealing with these issues and for sure I am in full support of the ARRL. Others are free to voice their opinions and th
Station only had one loose connection on 222 receive but all else worked fine. Lots of activity but not much enhancement from my FN31 location at 400' amsl. Best contact was about 350 miles out but a

Enjoyed the Sprint and pleased with the activity here in the Northeast even though bands were flat. I am curious how distance is going to factor into the scoring, hoping that the mountain top locatio
As always the Sprints are a fun warm up. Actvity with flat bands was fair. Checked out 1296 and have 40w fwd and 12 reflected. Time to drain the water out of coax. 30 q's 9 g's Mostly SSB. 73's Steve
I saw the 1500 at our last North East Weak Signal meeting and it is tempting. I have 4 radios doing hf-2304 (soon 3456) and would like to consolidate. The 1500 might be a choice except I will need to

I agree with Jim and I also believe in supporting the ARRL in order to save our bands. As a retired wireless engineer, I know first hand what a mess they are creating on our bands. I also know they a
I have a clean, modified TE Systems 4452 432amp for sale. It has all new (5) transistors with 6db of gain, 20w input yields 80w out. Asking $100 with a spare MRF548 new transistor which is very hard
