Hi Ed, Do I understand correctly that you have two antennas and you are asking about making changes to one of them? If the other antenna does not change, then you could compare the new unusual desig
Dude. Kindred souls - I worked up a station on Caye Caulker (I was V31NN for a while) but that is all gone now. I had the exact same questions and got the same answer as KK9A gave. QSOs back over th
Sounds like there are better answers now than there were back when I was scratching my head in Belize. I gotta say I loved that 300' dock, and it just seemed to play like magic. But nobody would agr

Hate to see the last switches go, but I just sold ALL of the 2-position Daiwa switches I had. I have some of these if anybody wants them: https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/alf-delta-4b?seid=dxese1&

I was unpacking some stuff and moving it around the barn yesterday listening to the diddles, and stumbled across a Drake Low-Pass Filter with input and output clearly marked by the manufacturer, "52
Back when I would model stuff all the time (K6STI's YO) I just put in the swaged parts as separate segments that were the correct diameter and length as the swaged parts. That does not really compens
What a great thread. Thanks for all the wisdom about multiple things. 73 - Mark N5OT It possibly could, but I haven't had much luck actually finding thickwall tubing. One gotcha I experienced was me
You turd :-) I have a Classic 33 Tribander and I am still trying to figure out why anyone would put up something bigger. It seems to work everything I call on it, and that makes me satisfied. Maybe
No worries. Ward and I are beer drinking buddies and abuse each other regularly. The joke is more like I have a different perspective and different priorities than many other people, and I enjoy sh
Great idea. Do the exercise as well as you can multiple times, throw out the outliers and average the rest. Drones are changing the world. Bagpipe players take note. 73 - Mark N5OT I would think th
Steve, Did you connect to the metal roof as your ground plane or did you still use resonant wires instead? Mark N5OT On 11/13/2020 9:44 AM, k7lxc-- via TowerTalk wrote: A roof mount also has the ad

This is a completely different thing from what Gary needs. What is on eBay is for a much smaller antenna, and no rotator. If you need to side-mount a 2 meter vertical or something like that, this w

I hate to be a big ignoramus, but why, if this is not an issue for Gedas' 10 GHz mount, is sweating joints that seem to be similar to his design a common practice in machinery design? Can someone he
