I checked the Hepburn forcast a couple days ago and this weekend looked promising. Starting last night it has been pretty good stuff. From IL EM59 I worked OK and KS last night on 432.1 new grids for me OK new state 432. Grabbed VA on 2m ssb this morning. Also worked into Wisconsin on 1296.1 ssb...
Looking for a good condition working non hacked up 2950 first generation. Doesn't have to be NOS but nothing drug behind a truck either. Preferably no opened clarifier or echo board.
Thanks 73

Buddy called me tonight and said he put talkback into a new Cobra 29. Said he put a resistor across the ext spk and pa on board worked fine. Then he decided to make it variable so he tied the rf gain pot wires together and ran 2 wires to it and back to where he took out his original talkback...
Found this while going through a box of old stuff. I believe it's a switch for a pdl 2 beam? I dont have one and dont plan on resurrecting one so if anyone needs it make me an offer. Found in a plastic sleeve.. looks new? Sold as is.
I lost my last 10/11 vertical in August of 18 due to lightning. I have been on the fence about what to put back up for a while now.. probably wont get around to it till next spring but I figured this gives me more time to research and review my options.
I have had good luck with the Sirio 5000...
Dont know how many of you guys are into 144 mhz and up weak signal but if you are and in the midwest you probably already know about the great conditions the last 24 hours. The word on the streets is that Dorian has caused this enhancement in the midwest. All I know is I've picked up several new...
http://baker2018.net/ Number 5 on Dx most wanted list. I will try but we will have to see.... suppose to be on 20m 24 hrs a day... they are restricted to vertical antennas so no yagis. (n) I figured anyone who even occasionally chases Dx has heard but for anyone who...
Come April I have been a member for 4 yrs. Couple yrs ago I posted some pics of the install of my old honda. I figured it's time to share some pics and info on my home setup. This is, as the title of thread suggests, a work in progress. It's been about 3 yrs in the making and not complete yet...
One of my locals I chat with in the mornings mentioned this. I looked it up. Looks kinda cool. Figured I would share, thoughts??

Well the vfo/channel knob on my DX2527 was doing the jump all over the place thing when turned. So for the last few years I've been using the up down buttons on the keypad. Well the buttons started sticking. I figured the rubber buttons had separated from the backing causing this problem. I...
I'm assuming this would be attributed to troposheric ducting. Worked some 2m ssb guys in northern il and into wisconsin around 8pm. This isn't all that uncommon...200-400mi 2m ssb. Then things got way better. I chat with some local guys about 25 miles south on 446.000 simplex usually 10-11 pm...
So a little background... I recently (finally) completed my tower project. On my mast at about 58 ft I have a 13b2 horizontally configured for ssb work. I feed this with a Kenwood ts2000 (100w) and no amplifier. Mounted on a stand off I run a comet tri band vertical. The base is about 36 ft. I...
Came across this on ebay. Says it will run a dx1600. Wonder how the filtering is? http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&toolid=10001&campid=5336136228&icep_item=191517872789

Hopefully someone might have one of these male "Jones" style connectors lying around that they would like to turn loose of?? It is an older Yaesu G800s rotor. I'm really trying to avoid moding the control box JUST cause I can't find this elusive connector. Yaesu no longer carries this connector...
