What great timing! To go along with the 4:1 band splitter that ND3F has listed for sale, I happen to have a vhf-uhf LPA for sale: Create CLP5130-1. 50 - 1300MHz Log Periodic Antenna. Purchased and as
Bill, I am with ya on this! I have had the same experience - usually it isn't a problem because I have moved the station to another band and I know the call and exchange and can pick it out even when
