Gentlemen - 1) How I know if RF from my Omni VII was causing problems with my Astron RS-35M linear type power supply ? Would it show up as an anomalous readout on one or both meters? What if I had th

I also have the newer model, but I use 15 meters for 17 meter work, and my settings are Load 5 and Tune 1. Your mileage may vary, of course. Good luck. == K8JHR == == ________________________________

XMAS LIGHTS... DISGUISE YOUR ANTENNA AS OR AMONG SOME XMAS LIGHTS AND STRING THOSE EVERYWHERE ON THE PROPERTY !!! You could probably set up lots of wire - maybe a big loop that way. Just a thought...
Perfect, Carl. Thanks. Made me laugh - after coming home from Doctor's office for a pre-surgery battery of tests. Reminds me how the best part of this hobby has been the people I have met, not the ra
You got that right ! I found and cut the underground tubing for my eaves trough system that way when digging a shallow hole for a cement mast footer. Spent more time fixing it than doing any other pa
