    HF antennas

    80m dipole is resonate right in the middle of band, i use the tuner else where. I can get it to tune from 40m - 12m, cant seem to get it to tune on 10m tho. The most i do is PSK31 on 40m -12m, 10watts max. Now i have 250ft of wire here, just need to cut it up, found a cutting board to attach...

    HF antennas

    well alot of the RFI has been deduced to the proximity of the antenna to the house. So im going to make provisions to move the dipole farther and higher away from the house. One of the local hams said he had some wire left over from when he last made some dipoles. So looks like im going to...

    Looking for a 2/70 vertical base antenna

    I do more local simplex then repeater, the Hustler G7-144 did great in simplex and repeater work, but it doesnt have 70cm, and im not a fan of weathered fiberglass. The arrow didnt perform very well on simplex, but i can still hit the local repeaters and is all metal. The current antennas im...

    Looking for a 2/70 vertical base antenna

    I did the comparison on simplex to a station 15miles away as the crow flies. Radio is a IC-V8000 on high power, antenna is at 32ft at the connection point of the coax, coax is 50ft of rg8x, antenna is surrounded and amongst oak trees, We compared the arrow to a Hustler G7-144.
