and it gets out! No better band for the buck. Easy to assemble. The XM240 has been beefed up but I still do some extra engineering for the strong winds in MT and CO. Mike W0MU Well, it was the first
What happened to turning the antenna until the station peaks? Frequently on 10m and 15m you have squewed paths especially to Europe and Japan so does it really matter that you are exactly at true nor

Why was this posted to Towertalk? How about the amp reflector or better yet the logger32 reflector. Anyone have any experience with running LOGGER 32 and the Alpha 87A? The software here is working w
If you are looking to improve your receive performance look at the K9AY loops, flags etc especially on 80m. What band or bands are you trying to improve? One other item regarding phasing two differen
