Still no DX Dan, real dry spell huh? 73's

Excellent Idea for a mic amp, I am using something similar, you can see it sitting on top of the President McKinley. Its a Tascam and I have it wired into my Anytone Smart 10. 73's Ocean One Cape Hatteras

Time to move on, this is nuts and the making the antenna fit in a box is the dumbest thing I ever heard. I have the antenna, 24 feet, and truth is it is not the best antenna out there by any means, IMO. Local is one thing, but going for DX, just about anything will be as good, I have a couple...

Are there ads somewhere for the 22 foot max? Just curious, Like I said most ads still say 24 feet , and I still dont believe radio antenna manufacturers build antennas to fit in a certain size box , a box about 8 inches shorter? huh? I dont doubt some company said that though. Unless I see...

Nice radio, I use that one and a dx2517 as main radios. The 95 is modern and fine out of the box. I would suggest purchase Amazon since the return if needed is fast and no questions asked, no tech or warranty stuff. I've has the 95 for about a year, zero issues, good luck. Ocean One Cape Hatteras

Solarcon IMax2000 ,24 feet on the button. Purchased Amazon Services Nov 19 2019

We will make contact in the future,bands are a bit better each day. 73's Ocean One Cape Hatteras

Nice to get you on the band today, strong contact, wonder how you snuck into my yard?,lol After we made contact I realized I had the beams pointed North, just think of what your signal would have been if I had been pointed at you. 73's my friend. Ocean One Cape Hatteras

Road Pro website even lists it as 24feet, they need to get this together, if true and 22 feet false advertising?

I bought one of the the last ones on Amazon before they went out of stock(last 60 days), its 24 feet. I'm not sure I buy the reasoning its now 22 feet due to shipping? The antenna has basically been made forever with small changes. They may have sold some to 10 meter operators but the majority...

Time to dust off the Freeband freqs , ouch did I say that? lol 73's, Ocean One Cape Hatteras

No post is ever old :) Today I put the new Sirio 4 element up and used the exact measurements in this post. 1.2 across the entire 11 meter band. Thanks again to everyone that posts. Ocean One Cape hatteras

Waited since last fall for early morning contacts to the UK an beyond, of course this morning at 4-30 am boom, signals all over the place and was so windy and stormy out here at the coast I was afraid to turn the beams into the ENE direction, no contacts made, tried the IMAX vertical, and the...

I saw a green version also somewhere, just a bit cheaper,lol, This aint nothing more than a 959 in a bigger box . Nice extra components, but the inside of that is pretty empty, no reason for not having an internal power supply for the amp. With my options it would be over 1,700 not including a...

and ******Winkdogg said :"The smds are actually easier in my opinion if you have a steady hand and a tiny tip on a high wattage iron . I dab flux on the pads and the components will actually stick in that tiny swipe flux and you juts flow solder off the tiny tip and touch it for a second . I...

Yea it got going for a long while from Florida up the east coast, pretty quiet now, maybe a few hours it might pick up ? Ocean One Cape Hatteras, NC

You been busy. Saw you all over ClusterDX spot chart, nice job working all those South America stations :) Only other American stations I saw on there was 2600, 279 and 041, again nice work.

Lots of 2 meter guys, couple of repeaters, few AMers, not many SSB 11 meter people, There is a guy that has a big rig in the village, usually just summer, the new thing out here is long range marine SSB since there are so many boats, all the marinas now have them. Dont know much about them...

So you lie to people?, Why not tell them the truth? If they took the time to contact you, you could at least explain why they are of a lesser quality human than you, and that you KNOW what they need. maybe you could say, "hey I can show you how to get your Ticket"? Or maybe you dont want anyone...
