The extra hf rig is is so you can still monitor hf. with the 2000 split you can monitor 52 and 200 for ssb. swap back and forth from main to sub when you hear a vhf station you want to contact.

I like the keep it simple method. Cut a dipole for your lowest frequency of operation, feed it with ladder line to tuner. I use a 160 meter inverted v and a tuner, not a pileup buster but it works. 17 and 20 for dx.

I use a ts 2000, and set up the sub for my fm simplex stuff with the main on vhf ssb, or hf. If your wanting to monitor vhf fm, ssb and hf all together I would add another hf rig. There has been two front end failures locally. both from other transmitters in close proximity.

When I lived in Louisiana I ran the c/craft 26b2's at 120'. They worked very well. I moved to Bama and only went up to 58'. I could still work a few stations back in La. Bruce had the same antennas up fairly hi and we could work each other most any time at 50 watts or less.We are around 160 to...

I'll be there early Saturday.

Congrats :thumbup1: ak4bn

I use a full wave loop cut for 75. Fits my needs, works great. If you are a dx chaser A doublet fed with ladder line and a tuner.

Looks like yall have some nice places to ride ! My square headlight remark was purely in jest no harm ment. The cj 5 would flex nicely. soa with 33's. The cj 7 was a mud rig. 450 hp 385.ci chevy. 9" hi pinion rear 44 up front. It would pretty good for 40" tires but would roll over and...

If you had round headlights it would drive rite out of that.:tongue::laugh::tt2:

I like. I did the "if you can read this roll me over" on my cj5.:biggrin:

Had a 100 watter back in the day. Still my favorite.

Looks good :thumbup:

Can't help with the wife, sounds like you in deep do do.:tt2: I ran a pair of 13b2's for a long time. Great antennas. At 65ft 200 mile simplex is doable to a good receiving station, 150 will be easy. I still have my pair in storage I'm going to try a pair of m2 2m12 at 80ft. Good luck with the...

Just getting into it my self. I've built two so far. It is addicting.
