I have a couple of questions that I would like to throw out to the
collective wisdom of the group:
1. Does anyone have any experience with automatic antenna tuners in
general and LDG models in particular? I don't want to throw a lot of
money toward one; are there other inexpensive ones that I should
consider besides the LDGs? Are they worth it at all?
2. I earned my present license, KL7QX, while in Alaska, but now live
in Idaho. I am occasionally chided, sometimes rudely, for either not
changing my call or not modifying it on air (like KL7QX/7) so that
others will not mistake me for an Alaskan station. For the record, upon
establishing a contact, I always identify my QTH in the first
transmission. The odd miffed ham I can deal with, but is there a
protocol, or perhaps an FCC mandate, that I am afoul of?
Thanks in advance for any advice you may offer.
Greg, KL7QX (in Idaho!)
