60 pep is about all I feel comfortable with.
You can trust Laird and Larsen's power specs. I'd be comfortable running 200 ish watts. The mount looks capable, as well.

The Lasen coil and stinger combination I mention earlier, up the thread, would be perfect in this sition. Especially, since the hole is popped and the NMO is mounted. Even the Larsen NMO-27 has marginal performance. The base and stinger I mention, would give more gain, and possibly, a smidgen more bandwidth.
Before doing that, maybe try a longer stinger and start tuning all over again.
Nope, that's something I don't have and here in the part of podunk Texas I'm at I don't think anyone around here has one either. I'm using a handheld radio with an so239 adapter and small workman swr/power meter to set swr. I've checked the meter on the bench with the mfj meter into a dummy load and reads right on. That's the best I've got. It would be nice to know where the antenna is resonant.U have access to an antenna analyzer?
Did u ever figure out what happened to your antenna?
Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare |
May 15, 2024 @ 14:55 UTC |
Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned |
