    Translation : I'm looking for Sommerkamp TS-788 DX, 788 DXcc and TS-780 DX in any condition. I also like to buy multiple units. If someone still has something and wants to sell it, I am waiting for your message.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Its been the usual Westcoast around 10-11 am where we get to listen to douchebag hardass, i mean hard drive in new mexico pat himself on the back for buying test equipment and having it calibrated occasionally. Other than that there's been some afternoon skip but its usually gone by the time I...

    Do I have a splatterbox ?

    Proper diagnostic equipment will show everywhere your signal is transmitting then your tech can adjust from there to clean it up. Surprising for the power i run and with all the other locals on near by channels that i dont get more people looking for the "bleeder" like i hear with some other...

    Noise Toy Sound CD

    Old school RDX HORN is the only "noise" you need to agitate the agitators. And if used with enough watts will also light your cigar! https://deadlydragonsound.com/resour...%20FogHorn.mp3

    This is why i bought a Colossal ground plane

    I get Red Shouldered Hawks that perch on my radials all the time while hunting mice and lizzards and the radials hold up fine. I also have lots of crows and I have some rather large owls who hunt from it at night. So far the Colossal is doing exactly what i bought it for.

    This is why i bought a Colossal ground plane

    Meh, it wasnt hurting anything, barely bending it. I was fairly surprised since i have owls twice that size perch. Rumor has it Q'd Osprey is kinda tough :whistle:

    This is why i bought a Colossal ground plane

    Walking back from the mailbox and i look up to see a young Osprey firmly perched on my static cap. He/she was up there for about 5 minutes. Birds of this size and larger perching on my antenna often is why i decided against the matching designs on other antennas.

    Where do you get good jumpers?

    Just because you pay more doesn't mean you're buying better quality nor does buying from a company. Do you know who is building those cables? Did he/she go to the bar the night before and not feeling their best or is his/her mind on a cheating mate while at work and not really paying attention...

    Where do you get good jumpers?

    Yep, in this hobby if you want to run with the big dogs you gotta bring your wallet off the porch with you lol. People see a $20 plus shipping price tag on a 3 foot jumper and get all bent out of shape. Gotta figure decent connectors are $7 each and coax near $1/foot or more depending on type...

    Where do you get good jumpers?

    There are bogus Amphenol connectors out there so be careful. If the barrel is crosshatched but smooth its not right. It will fit most so239's but there are some it will not tighten down on. The problems ive had are with the Silver plated model number 083-1sp-1050 connector fitting on some export...

    New 32 pill is a dog :(

    Hopper has a good rep from what ive seen. Id feel pretty confident hes doing what he should. Man, a 32 pill is just a lot of hg's to try and make happy lol. Ive cut myself off transistor amps at 16. If i want more I'll spring for tubes simply because its less parts to fail.

    New 32 pill is a dog :(

    I too hope they get your amp straightened out soon but 4 weeks and still checking it out? Not knowing who the builder is i have to ask if he has a supply big enough to fully test a 32 pill? I personally wouldnt want an hg pill amp bigger than a 2x8. I just dont believe the the pills workmanship...

    Not enough juice

    Another issue no one brought up. Rule of thumb is 50 amps of supply for each 2 pill section. To run the amp and the 98vhp you should have a 250 amp supply or bigger.

    Not enough juice

    Your problem probably lies within your service and your 100' cord. How many amps is the breaker for that circuit? How many other appliances are using that circuit? 100' cord is just bad news. Your outlet needs to be within the supplys cord length, no extentions. Your supply really needs a...

    Beware of superhawkwss6 on Ebay

    Meh, dont hate the guy cuz he's getting his prices. Hate the douchebag willing to pay that price. Ive done similar with radios on ebunk. My grandmother was a fairly accomplished author and im now collecting one of her 4 book series. A lady on amazon has a copy of one of them for $49 plus...
