None of my antenna steel antenna masts have been less than 20' of 1" black iron pipe painted because it is readily available. I wouldn't do 36' because it would require guy ropes or it would be bent and be a eye-sore. Just my personal preference so it is what it is and I'll work with what I...

There is much I guess I will never understand about DX. Texas is a major player around here for DXing but when I first got back into radio it seemed like Florida was the major player for me with DX. I did move my Star Duster about 30' from where it first started and changed from a Workman Star...

Yeah it was coming in around here, but I couldn't seem to make a contact. But these rugged hills covered with trees are covered with leaves now so I'm not expecting much. Tried a little shouting from the base station this morning with no luck either. Sometimes you eat the bear & sometimes the...

I agree and when the hot weather sets in I can come back in and finish some projects inside where the AC is running. And maybe next winter I can set my butt in the radio room instead of working ! LOL

Well if it's going to happen now is the best time for it to happen because I'm up to my butt in Spring Work. Was out in the garage getting my Kubota ready to introduce it to some Hard Work. No free Lunches around here ! LOL

Like I said I only run mine a little before I jumped up to the KL-503 P so I guess I always run mine in Hi power. But what difference does Hi & Lo power make because I haven't found that listed yet or I missed it somewhere? PS. AM never interested me because SSB is on my Bucket List ! LOL

If your KL-300 P is like mine there is no middle position on that Hi-Lo switch on the R/H side. Hi is SSB & Lo is AM. Unless they have changed it, if so maybe someone else will Chime In ! PS. My KL-300 P is Blue so don't know if that means anything. I have noticed other operators talking...

Thanks for trying but I haven't had the radio on much lately because of the lousy DX situation and been busy setting up a new to me re-conditioned Windows 10 computer system. I'm getting sick of Microsoft and will probably start to learn Linux. Microsoft and their Pop-ups are control freaks and...

I was just thinking that MFJ took over the Hy Gain Super Penetrator SPT-500 so there might end up being a shortage of them coming up soon. Better grab one while you can. just thinking if someone doesn't buy it out.

1-1.5 watt

I have one of those amps also because I wanted a little more power also. I used the same dead key as the KL-200 P & the KL-203-P and didn't see any adverse affects but didn't use it long enough to be a expert before Hunger struck again and jumped up to a KL-503 P. Hook it up and run it !

Haven't really had any Dx activity all week but today I turned on my Cobra 2000 about 5:00 PM and could hear activity but sounded way off and couldn't understand it on 38 LSB even though my freq. counter was showing correct. Even when I turned on my pre-amp I still couldn't understand it. First...

Well I took a couple days ( 3.5 hour ) road trip to DTB Radio and Dave did a fine job of aligning my Lincoln. Is nice to understand people when the clarifier is set at 12 Oclock like it is suppose to be but wouldn't you know DX has dropped out so I can't put it thru it's paces checking it out...

And sometimes the more money they have the cheaper they are. I know that for a fact ! LOL

I'm trying to clean my house out not just leave junk behind for someone else. I have a consciences. I can't sell a bum radio and I've already got too much invested in this Bucket List hobby to buy more radios. Hope to be out of this place in a couple years if I don't Kick the Bucket first ...

Well worth it especially if you haven't had electronic training or the proper tools !

I experienced the same when I called Walcott Radio to ask a question. Funny how you can sense a Attitude over the phone. I be careful I don't get on a roll because it isn't pretty !

I have to say sorry about my last post because I must have had a Brain Fart because I was thinking MFJ but my meters are Dosy. About the same difference Everybody bitches about them. I must have worked in the Sun too long today. LOL

I've got 3 of their bench SWR meters and for a small time operator I wouldn't part with them. Can't remember exact details but one meter had a problem so I called them up and talked to some older gentleman who had a Great customer service attitude and was happy to help me over the phone...

Anybody been hearing that Window Licker Dude lately. I can't remember running into him the few time I scan AM which isn't very often. Am traffic has disappeared around here.
