    ½ wave dipole height

    I am erecting a ½ wave dipole for 11 meters. I am curious as to what height off the ground will offer optimum performance? I have a 140ft long dipole for 70cm - 160 meters amateur radio and the optimal height was over 100 feet up in the air between two trees on opposite sides of my property...

    Base Need base antenna advice

    Looking for a suggestion for a base antenna. I live in the mountains of New Hampshire... lots of snow and ice... frequent winds... needs to be able to take a wallop. Not running an amp. Primarily for DXing on 38lsb.

    No ssb, or anything being heard.

    We have 3 very active sideband groups in this area. Wednesday nights the 9 America SSB group has a radio net on 36lsb and on Thursday nights it’s the New Hampshire SSB Club. There are a lot of Americans Eagle SSB Club members in the area as well.

    Your Favorite Radio & Why

    Magnum 1012 walkie talkie. It does 7 watts on SSB and I talk DX around the world with it using a ⅛ wave bnc telescopic antenna that A ham radio operator in the UK made for me.

    There hasn’t been any DXing going on up here in the White Mountains of New Hampshire for multiple weeks. I hang out at a location where I am 6300 feet up and still nothing. Plenty of locals to chat with, but no DX.

    American Eagle SSB CBers Club

    Magnum, I have found that the majority of people who join clubs still use their own three or four digit number that they gave themselves and typically only use club call signs when they hear others out there. I have a unique DXing location atop mount washington which is nearly 6300 feet up. When...
