Boy, looking at that picture there's no wondering why I can't dx out west. NOT HAPPENIN"!

I don't care what we talk about! hahahahaha! LOL. It's all GOOD!:thumbup:

I do the same in my VW CC. Works excellent. Ahhh,..... the benefits of modern car audio!:tongue_smilie:

The one right across the street is called Baker Peak. It's just shy of 3000 feet. Really nice 360 view from the summit. The one behind the house I've done on the 4 wheeler once about 8 years ago. Will never do it again. Came down through what's called the saddle. Boulders the size of VW...

hahahaha good one! I would have to move the radio to the studio downstairs. UGH!!!!!! I've got high end preamps built into the board and enough outboard gear to fill a box truck. You name it, I've got it. It's all prehistoric at this point but it's high end stuff. Ended up switching over to all...

Thank you for this!:thumbup:

I know you would be thrilled with a moxon. it's basically the equivalent to a 3 element Yagi with better F/B ratio. I looked at the Sirio Yagi's but they are HUGE! It was at about 18-20 feet and now about 30 feet. Some I have talked to said they didn't perceive any difference going to 40 feet...

You're like my wife....just trying to keep me busy so I stay off her back! hahahahaha I gave that a look. That is neat and cheaper and easier than buying a preamp and hassle with wiring! Thanks!:thumbup:

It's so frustrating to hear the stations in Texas like Needlebender and TC254 and not be able to get them. needlebender has the best audio I think I've ever heard. Been toying with the idea of picking up a Behringer mic preamp and using one of my studio mics on the base. But, everything I've...

I'll mention it to him next time we chat. it's usually every day in the afternoon. make sure you mention me to him. He'll prob' say; "yea, I know him! he's that idiot in VT"! LOL He gave me his e-mail address and I forwarded him the vid of the qso. Banged Germany about an hour ago and he said I...

Thanks W9! Not sure if it would really be a benefit to my situation based on what I read here: Near vertical incidence skywave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I do hear folks from NY all the time and can't get them. They are usually in a 150 mile radius so that antenna might help. I'm...

This is the first in a series of DX'ing videos and I have to apologize up front that I sound like such an idiot! I just can't believe how well this cheaseball setup works so I figured I'd share it. I'm pretty sure I'll be taking down the 102" whip soon. never use it anymore. The receive on the...

Jheez Louise... if you can't even get patch chords that work, I'll make some up for ya. Just let me know what you'd need, I'll go buy the stuff and you can just pay me for them. I'll send them usps priority. I know you have a hard time soldering. That would be no problem!

Well, I guess you'll be forgetting about us "plain folk" being royalty and all now! hahahahhaa

I'm running the Ranger SRA-198 Noise Cancelling Mic on my 980. Gain maxed at 4. Reports are excellent all over the world. I was watching a YT video of some modding being done to a 980 a while back and he was using a cobra power mic on the 980. he said the gain at 4 had no benefit so adjusted to...

The antenna is key to getting the power up on this radio. A good quality antenna either base or mobile and it should clip 20 whiskeys easily on SSB. I need to add the the swr is critical. On the Sirio, Vertical base whip and the Moxon my swr's are 1.0 to 1.03 at the most. All of the power is...

My goodness, I can talk all over the world with the 980 with just a bump to the 203 alc pot. Even mobile with the Sirio Turbo 5000. Deadkey I left alone at 4 watts. Swings to 10 on AM and swingin' to over 20 on ssb with the Moxon at 30 feet. For a $116.00 radio it's hard to beat. Spot on...

That's great! Sorry I missed ya yesterday. Busy busy busy here. I'll try and listen for you. Heard all sort of folks yesterday local. Bronx, upstate NY, Mass, some from CT. 73's Big Dog! :thumbup1:

R'ingOTF. I gotta make sure I have the video camera ready when that happens. Now that's funny right there yes sir!

Considering just removing the 102" whip from the house and sticking it on the truck. Hit almost every single station in the UK yesterday and even clipped Tokyo Japan (although my gut tells me that might have been a hoax. It sounded for real though. Very broken English and could barely understand...
