    REFLECTED POWER

    Thank You Gentlemen. Another question, is it ok to coil excessive coax and in my case, just hang it up on a beam in the basement? Or do I cut off the excess? Thanks in advance.

    SSB Call Sign?

    Hello All, I've noticed that when people are calling out CQDX on SSB they may use a name and a series of numbers. I know you do not need a license while talking on SSB, so where do the numbers come from, what do they mean? Thank You!

    SWR

    Hello All, Another question. When tunning an antenna, should there be (can there be) anything else installed in-line between the radio and the antenna other than the SWR meter? If there were any other accessories would this effect the SWR reading? Thanks...
