I have found MPD Digital 'sagemaiden' on ebay to provide me with great coax jumpers. They do a much better job than I ever could installing the connectors and use Tfimes microwave coax. Maybe some ot
You dog you! That not a bad way to handle that. I was never that cleaver. At least as long as you did not sign anything and also make sure you are clear on the radiation standards. Might end up with

KI7M is on the air! After remembering to connect up everything correctly I am happy to say the amp is keying normally. We are once again using the K3 'Key Out' like I had before and of course don't h
In the past I bought a worm gear winch that I think was a Ramsey. I bought it from Northern Tool and Supply or something like that in the midwest. I still get their catalogs. It was only about $1200
I use one of these air launched tennis ball launcher. Don't remember the exact name but it cost about $250-300 and was well worth it. I have seen it launch that tennis ball easily over a 105-110 foot
