    Base New Imax wont tune 11m....this sucks

    Theres a lot of threads here on the subject. I THINK it was determined that was a bad idea for some reason or another by people more antenna savy than myself. Don't remember why.

    FREQUENCY AND TIME FOR CONTACTS

    Indeed. I will likely miss out as I have pledged the day to my own mother for whatever she wants to do. Yesterday was nothing but static for me. Hope you all can find that DX!

    Maco VQUAD vs Siro 27-4

    Pulled the battered beast down and drilled and screwed her and yes I know I wont be able to move Gama sliders but lo the phantom SWR glitching with wind vanished. Have a decent antenna tuner so not too worried. Seems to be working well now SWR rock solid no more fluctuations.

    Maco VQUAD vs Siro 27-4

    https://www.antennas27.com/antenna_loop_vs_yagi If this is accurate (though this information is not on the 10/11m band maybe I am better off sticking with the Delta loops aka VQUAD? Also has anyone here used both and have any observations to aid my choice?

    Our Friend Marconi

    Man that's sad to hear. He was one of the guys that made me want to stay in radio when I joined this forum years ago and will certainly be a loss to the community in knowledge and character.

    Maco VQUAD vs Siro 27-4

    To be honest I don't know where I got them. They were saved to my phone years ago when I was first hunting for an antenna before I chose my VQ3 and VQUADs. I certainly appreciate the explanation and the great information. I did notice however you didn't state an opinion on, all things being...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    I'm still at the office lol. No radio here least not 11m lol I wish I could viagra them but I can't. I'm maxed out of height that if they fall over I miss the power lines by a 5-6 foot margin. Any higher and I won't. Safety first.
