    I have no experience with the RM brand filter but I had a para dynamics years ago that had little affect on filtering anything at my old home. I picked up an old Bencher YA-1 low pass filter. Much higher quality unit that actually filters..

    My Saga Of Putting Together A Good 10 Meter AM Station Continues

    It's cool that you're trying to revive 10 AM. I have worked a handful of AM stations through the years but I usually forget to even roll through the 29.100 area of the band. For me it's always SSB or 29.600 simplex with the occasional repeater work... Guess I need to listen there more often...

    Installation tips for a UHF PL259 for 1/2" Corrugated Copper

    The internet and YouTube are your friends for the information needed for correct measurements and installation. I did my 1/2 hardline N connectors with simple hand tools. Use a sharp knife and take your time.

    First Contact into the UK

    The frequencies you list seem odd.. when adding. 0015 to all things would make more sense. 98% of all contacts I've made on 11 meters have been on even 5's of flats... 27.515, 27.435, 27.425, 27.420...etc. Might want to investigate this. Compare to another radio..settings...alignment. Anyway...

    NEW LDMOS Full Legal Limit Amplifier

    They also offer a model that does 1200 watts ssb 160-6m for $2800. Not bad at all for a over a kw solid state on hf&6... in my opinion..

About 15 years ago ISP along with IDOT and IDOC all jumped in bed with Motorola and they use the state wide Starcom21 system now.. I haven't seen a cb antenna on a...
