Yep, i carry something for them too.

Thank you Riverman. Now i have to figure out how to set up the station. Im pretty much set on buying the IC 7300. I think thats the easy part. I have read your posts on the Perfect antenna. Not sure which way i will go. OFC is likely, but EF and CF are still in the running. One would think i...

General license hit the database today. Yay. Taking the extra class exam on april 9. Im official.

I think he is. I cant wait to get my spt 500 on top of my 40' tower. Brand new lmr 400. Hope i see a few s-units over my 20 year old a-99 with 20 year old rg8x mounted at 20'. But to be truthful , i think if i just set my radio up on top of the tower with out an antenna it might perform better...

We will give it as shot. There is plenty of radiator even after the 3 inch overlap.

Im going to give this a try. I put it together in the basement and had plenty radiator to work with.

My spt 500 is around 6 years old. The mounting bracket is 12" long and 2 5/8 wide.

Damn groundhog!

Im waiting for the ground to thaw so my tower and SPT 500 Penetrator get into and on the air. Im going to assemble according to JAFO's recommendations . Just got 6 more inches of snow this morning . Maybe in April i can dig the foundation. Winter is trying to hold on. Oh boy!

Thanks Alan. Ive read your posts . You and many others here have been a inspiration for me. Congrats back to you . Maybe one day we will be able to put each other in the logs. YAY

I think it was the same for my brother-in-law. Hes wanted his ticket forever. We have talked about getting licensed for several years. I guess the timing was right. Cold up here in PA this winter. Throw a log on the fire, open up Ham Study and have at it. I bought the books, im glad i did. I...

My bro-in-law and i took our tests last night. He passed tech and i passed tech and general. He has wanted a license since he was a kid, he is now 74. It was nice to share the moment. Now comes the fun part, planning the shacks and setting up. YAY

I have that pile driver interference also. Which is a good way to describe it. I have it on the 11 meter base. I also have it on the mobil untill i get away from the house. Then its gone. Pull back into the driveway and there it is again. What is this?

But it is easy, guick and safe

Paypal takes their cut for sure

Very cool.

Thank you Kopcicle, thank you Sonar. A lot to digest. I understand the importance of good coax and antennas. This will not be skimped on. Right now, temporarily, i have a A-99 up and operating. I also have a spt-500 and 40' of tower, plus 100' lmr400 ready for the spring. Nothing written in...

Thats the answer i was looking for Thank you very much for the explanation .
