Ur right Chinese electronics are far superior than anyone else’s they just ship to America junk in China even there cell phones are steps away from what we get I need America Americans are getting what they ask for cheap electronic prices cheap electronics
I personally think there is a whole lot of hogwash about some beam antennas and reality with real world operation. I found to see any real significant forward gain or signal strength gain between a 5/8ths wave vertical or comparable you have to go to 5 element beam or more I’ve played around...
I must be one disrespectful SOB too then I tell you a funny story I live in a small community that has a trash dump transfer location I took a bunch of radios that I don’t use anymore and a few that needed attention and I’m like you can’t find a tech that will fix them right especially the old...
I’ve never used Strouds Electronics yet in Marion Illinois but he came highly recommended to me from a couple folks that I can say Honestly have. I’m not sure if you pass on contact info on this site but google him for info. The people that recommended him to me had him go thru their Trams...

Honestly maybe it just could be mine but I have them both the Washington on top of the Madison and see absolutely no difference in the receivers at all but my Radio Shack TRC 457 slightly out receives them both and the three should be pretty much the same radios but like I said maybe it just...
With my 4 square array 4 IMAX 2000’s 18’ to the feed points off the ground and 100 Watts pep on SSB I regularly talk to a guy 105 Miles as the crow flies and have talked 140 miles as the crow flies.c
Between the two you mentioned I’d get the Stryker 955 but if you’re going to get your amateur ticket I would take a look at the Icom 718 for another choice you can get them for around $600 with the factory rebate.
One thing I think should happen over this Virus is China being held accountable this has cause to much death madness economic woes and mayhem for China to have a oh well moment. The nations of the world community should come down hard on China there is to many innocent people that will feel the...
I had one a few years ago it worked very well until it got stolen. You won’t go wrong buying in it compairs equally to the 17”shaft 10K I replaced it with.
A beam I’m toying with now is Maco’s 5 Element HV it great having a dual polarity 5 element beam it’s just a dual polarized 5 element yagi without the Quad reflector. When I can afford a bigger rotator I’m gonna move up to the 8 element HV.
You hit the nail on the head only as good as the tech that’s tuned it, some of these guys take a brand new radio out of the box and make a mess out of them thinking they know more than the factory that built it make to many so called mods.
Google Davemade Bird cage antenna If you ever hear Kbar 665 in West Virginia he has one. I’m not sure if the one on Qrz is the same one or not there is a photo on Pineterest of one also
