yet another dipole question......

DUDE!, get a drink a showwer another drink and go to SLEEP. and you are right about what i was going after, kinda like the wire wrapped around a fiberglass antenna.

It's not for the lack of trying trust me. Freaking hot here even at night. Working nights and trying to sleep days is a killer. Last two nights the window was open and the freaking full moon was shining in straight in my face too. Man, I even took a little sleeping pill and that did not work. Thank God I am off work until the 23'rd. Tonight had better be better or I just may go off the deep end. Can't wait for the HVAC unit to be installed.
 
go to wal mart or other such retailer and get your self a small window a/c. :wub:

Got one. The wife was bitching about the noise it makes. After seeing me and the shape I was in this morning she caved in and said if the noise bothered her tonight she would move to the couch downstairs tonight. I plan to run it on HIGH tonight. :LOL: It's not just the heat either. It's a lot of little things that just seemed to merge the last few days. Yesterday I managed to break a vein in the instep of my right foot while running up the stairs to the back deck. Man that was hurting like a @#&%# last night and still does. Yeah, heat is not the only issue at all. I have other issues, believe me I have issues. :whistle:

    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

    Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
