Put together this 2 element yagi for shooting skip on the mountain with the car. Should have made up a quad from my conversation with a buddy from FL. We'll see how it goes tomorrow. Match is perfect at .385-.555 at swr flat. No movement in the needle. Anyhoo, it breaks down in seconds compact...

Anyone have any idea how to wire a ptt foot switch to a 6 pin Uniden Mic? Dunka, Steve

OK, would like to try and be able to beam west towards west coast stations. My situation is impossible now. Running a moxon rectangle at 30 feet and considering 2 options. 1: Put a positive tilt on the moxon 10-20 degrees. 2: pick up another 102" whip and make a dipole flat side running N to S...

Installing fan on the heat sink on the at-6666. What resistor should I use to slow it down some? Was thinking maybe start with a 5w 27(?) ohm. I may run 2 micro fans side by side on the sink. Haven't decided yet. Is there a better option than an in-line resistor? Thanks y'all for any input.

All you folks waiting for conditions to improve in Northern New England and the northeast the time has come. Flip your radios on and enjoy the pileup! Un freakin' believable! Best since prop' died a few months ago. 7 p.m. here and it's roaring. Crackin' me up! Cheers!

I am in the process of picking up a 27 ft sailboat and will be docking it in a marina on Lake Champlain for the season. Anybody have any suggestions for a decent antenna setup for ssb on the boat? Will be using 1 or 2 solar panels for power & charging of the deep cycle batteries. Would like to...

This is the first in a series of DX'ing videos and I have to apologize up front that I sound like such an idiot! I just can't believe how well this cheaseball setup works so I figured I'd share it. I'm pretty sure I'll be taking down the 102" whip soon. never use it anymore. The receive on the...

Got your attention didn't it. Not what y'all are thinkin' you perv's! 1'st three way communication with a couple of stations from the UK. They were talking about how everybody in the states must be running beam antennas. I butted in after a while and one put me in touch with another so I...

So, what does everyone do on a day like today when everything is encased in ice and there's no DX. Dead, zero, zitch, nada, bupkiss....... Here's what I'm doing: *Made a new patch cable to interface the meter. (Other was that RS crap that I never trusted) *Dreaming and plotting future...

I have decided to start the process of building a Moxon Beam for the house. I would like to use the ground plane of the metal roof to enhance it but I'm really not sure if that would be an actual benefit. Would that defeat the purpose of the beam directional antenna? I know they focus the...

Here's a video I did today of the cb setup for the house and the car. Really working good now but can't seem to get out to the west. I thought I made contact with Manitoba this afternoon but can't be sure. he's on every day. This mountain behind the house is a real problem. I would have to shoot...

Greetings everyone from the frozen tundra of VT (God forsaken H... Hole). I recently picked up a Uniden 980ssb w/a Ranger SRA198 Mic. I built a base antenna off of instructions given by Cryptic Cricket on youtube using a 102" ss whip mounted to the peak of the house. I'm getting a flat 1.0 swr...
