746 pro with desk mic and psu!.Great radio at a bargain price. But like said! Make sure it works 100% Check power out on all bands and that the ATU tunes on all bands. Mine has never missed a beat. I did the idle current mod and the pre driver mod and I keep the lights on high (helps to...

if it is a big ass transformer I would do it, but wouldn't bother with switch mode. A lot of work. rectifier, filter, regulator.1/2 a dozen pass transistors . over volt protection etc .

Except that he "SODDERS" instead of ""SOLDERS":D

Might be better off in Australia. But DONT COME BY BOAT.

Congratulations mate. look forward to catching you on air.

Can listen all day every day and all I hear is hisssssssssssssssssssssss. sure glad I can go down the bands.

Yep. to put it in perspective.( just had a look at my log) In 2016 I have made 10 contacts on 10 m in total. In the previous 3 years 1300 international contacts alone. For all those newbies who haven't experienced a cycle minimum ."Boy are you in for a shock" What concerns me is that 20m is...

Sure there is some dx still.But conditions will continue to decline for the next 4 years or so.So unless you have a very active local group 10m only rig might not be a good investment.

Heard a pastor the other day say it was trying to choose between Lucifer and Satan. ( and I'm in Australia)

The one on my 43 ft fishing pole makes a great portable setup. Stopping the coax radiating is the KEY.

As I said before I haven't used this particular one before. Most use the coax as a counter poise so changing the coax length will change VSWR. So what I do for mono band use is to wind a choke on a pvc former loosely . I can then slide it up and down the coax length to get the best VSWR and...

They usually need a choke.This one is a half wave you might be lucky.

Iv'e had a lot of success with end feds over the years. As long as the coax is not radiating( CMC) And the matching network is a low loss design It will work fine.

Whats a CUB? and what countries play in the WORLD SERIES.? "It's just not cricket "

Haven't tried one.But looks like a end fed half wave should work more or less the same as any other EFHW. Hey put it on a glass pole and you have An A99:D Dummy load is a bit harsh.

Dont get me wrong I love deltas But a 3 band interlaced delta is one big ass antenna, and it's top heavy with some serious wind loading

My mistake. BRAIN FART.!!! forgot about element length as CK said.4.2m is most likely 1/2 the length of the top wire on the 20m reflector Hence turn radius.

turning radius would be 2.1m. half boom length!. And the gain figures look a bit strange to.More gain on 15m and 20m than 10m ,even though its 3el on 10 and 2 on 15 and 20.

Actually the driving lights help a lot ! You adjust them so they are lighting up the verge as well as forward.Not only do you see the roos earlier but it seems to help keep them off the road.

And a Shu roo (like a dog whistle that fits on the front of the car).
