    10 to 13 element beam

    I had a 17B2 up for about 6 months & those support pieces both broke because the aluminum stock was so thin. It talked great until then & then it was taken down & somebody else owned it. I ran a TE Systems 5054 amplifier into it & I worked all over North America,Cuba,Puerto Rico & more with it.

    VINTAGE WEBSTER BANDSPANNER 80-10 METER MOBILE ANTENNA

    I still have the Webster Bandspanner.10-80 & I may entertain shipping it if we can work out the shipping costs. I believe I have a shipping tube it will fit in as well but I's have to be sure that it will fit into the tube. I know that it won't with the Huge spring on the base of it but I might...

    understanding the A99,, the 1/2 wave over 1/4 wave bit

    I don't know what the antenna really is by design but I have been using mine at 30 feet for over 10 years with 100 watts & I have worked the world on 10-17 meters & if it's really quiet even on 20 meters with the tuner in the ICOM 7610. It's the only HF antenna I currently have since my tower...

    What have you done today to be prepared?

    If I feel that HE is leading me to do something then I try & do it but not when anyone else is leading or trying to lead. {:>)

    What have you done today to be prepared?

    I put my Faith in Jesus Christ & not Stress over anything. I'm not letting anyone or anything Stress me. Stress will Kill you & that's what those who are stirring the pot want. I don't put any faith in anyone other than the King of Kings because HE is in control & everything & everyone that...

    If you had to pick a 40 SSB CB BASE purely on asthetics what would you choose?

    The DAK X is Hands Down the best looking CB Radio EVER produced by anyone. When those 4 Big Meters are lit up along with all of the small lights for the toggle switches nothing comes close. It's also not Chrome but Brushed Aluminum. It was the last CB Base I ever owned & mine had never been...

    50ft tilt crank up/tower w/pics

    Those are very nice towers for sure. I have a Mosley TA-53M with the 40 meter dipole,M2 6M5X,Cushcraft 215WB,& Hi-Gain VB-214FM so this tower will be far from overloaded. Best thing is I can work on everything by myself & no more worries about hurricane damage. It's motor driven as well so for...

    50ft tilt crank up/tower w/pics

    I know this is an Old thread but I just found one of these towers and it has the specs for up to 110 mph and with no guy wires it’s rated at 28.8 sq ft of windload and with guy wires it’s rated at 40 sq ft of windload.It made me decide that I was putting it up and not another ROHN 25 that I...

    Comment by 'W4KVW' in media 'ECC55465-2244-46E4-B30B-48713C7F7E1F'

    I bet that tree limbs are Murder on that thing.I tried using 4 different resonators and adding the fourth one in the center stud made all of the rest out of tune badly.I finally gave up and replaced them with a Lil Tarheel HP & No more issues with high SWR.

    looking to trade

    Does it have the 6LF6 tubes or is it an older model? I believe there were three different tube variations over the years & maybe four? Some converted to the 8950's but they cost an arm & a leg now so not very smart. I was thinking 500 to 600 was about the Top of the output for them but again...

    Still seems high for that amp. Have you ever looked at it on a scope? I have not read the specs on those tubes in a very long time either but I could be wrong about what it should be putting out?

    What kind of wattmeter are you seeing the PEP output on? That seems like a lot of power from a 300A ?

    round 2

    200 watts is more than enough for working Any DX. I have worked the world with ease on 10 watts from my ICOM 703 PLUS. What DX can't be worked with 200 watts? Anyone not working DX on 10 meters with 200 watts is using a Dummy Load for an antenna. In a Contest everyone is 59 so power does not...

    round 2

    I Rarely ever log any QSO's & when I do it' in my paper logs. I have really bad Arthritis so it's painful to write & I don't do any form of electronic logs. I feel it's a personal choice & a log is not required & has not been for a long time. I am a DX Chaser for the most part on HF & I chase...

    PEP Conversion for DRAKE W-4 Wattmeter

    I have been using his PEP Kit in my WELZ SP-600 for 6 meters for many years & it also works very well. He makes some great products for a great price & he's a good guy from all I have heard.
