The situation looks familiar to me! In the summer of 1986 I built a 24 X 40 Pole Barn 10' high for a garage and work shop because that's all I could afford with out taking out a loan. Done it nights & weekends after work when I wasn't doing Husband & Father jobs also. Spent the rest of life...

I sometimes call myself PA50 or Keystone Radio but I guess haven't decided yet on a set of numbers or call sight unique & easy to remember. I have been trying to ask to see if there is any WWDX members on the air waves. I've spent more time trying to build and learn a system than actually...

Well I got up extra early today to get my SUV inspected and after I got back decided to swap out mobile antennas to experiment. After I was done and could see DX was rolling I decided since my neighbor was gone somewhere with his friend I'd head for the radio room and mess around with 3 of my...

Let us know what you find when you do. The noise floor level is a irritant for me also even though mine isn't as bad as some people's.

I found a MFJ-1025 on eBay at a reasonable price which looks like the MFJ-1026 without the telescoping antenna and was wondering if anyone has used this unit with success. The MFJ- 1026 is pricey if you can find it.

Only heard 1 person today and it was a Jamaica Radio so it must have been running plenty of power because no one else came thru !

Don't feel alone on conditions. Down here in N/E PA it really stinks today compared to the last few days. Funny how that works out. I won't run my base and amp while my neighbor is home and the day he goes to work the conditions dry up. Oh well better days are coming ! ( We Hope )

Cheer up guy, that is only a temporary set back. At least your not one of the horses-asses on 38 lsb. LOL

That's why I mentioned checking the jumpers and I would do that first. It could save you from dealing with the coax if you got lucky. Every situation is different but I made a custom pivoting mount for my antenna mass because it is hard to find good dependable help when you need it. So I can use...

Let us know the end result please ! And check you jumpers also.

Wise Man!

Good thing you check it frequently !

Our family would say their Brain is Pickled ! LOL

I agree with both of you, but I listen to 38 lsb just to check for conditions but would move away in a flash if conditions were rocking. Usually around here 35-39 has the activity on lsb. And 30-34 lsb not so much, along with 40 lsb would be good for 2 person qsos. But like always sooner or...

You can tell DX is coming back because 38 lsb had at least 2 of the obnoxious clowns polluting the channel today and it will get worse !

While traveling in the hills with my mobile and my DX979 and K40 I heard South America come bombing in so my ears perked up and listened more. Then the operator mentioned running a Cobra 139 and sooner or later I hear 399 JJ so you were Kickin Butt here in N/E PA. Unfortunately for me I was...

Received my 2 President BT Mikes last night and took 1 for a test run today. Might be too early to tell but so far I'm not impressed with battery life of the rechargeable battery pack. Hope it increases with multiple charges and it's something your not going to be using when you have to turn...

Kind of like the story of Follow Me I'm the Pied Piper ! LOL

I seen the White Tail when I got up at 7 AM, the Turkey in the middle of the day. And the Elk after dark. Bookmark it and check back periodically.

Set up by the PA game commission. Just watched 4 elk feeding & 2 sparring. Along with White tail & turkey. Enjoy ...
