Hello All,
I finally was able to get up and running today and did a little testing before I headed out for work. The following are my results. Please comment if you can.

Hello All,
What should I do with my excessive coax for a Base Station? Can I just roll it up (not tightly) and tuck it away behind my bench? Should it be cut as short as possible? Thank You.
So, if you are putting out 100 watts (per watt meter) and 4 are reflected (per watt meter) you are really putting out 96 watts? Thanks....Oh Big Day Today, my antenna went up...

As always, Thank You for your time! So that being said, I'll use 243 / 2,4,3 the department I'm in at work...I currently have my radio's, meter's etc. The last thing I need to do is put up my antenna once the weather gets a little better...
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!

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...
Hello All,
I have been out of radio for 45 years, just getting back into it. My question is, can I run a RCI 69 Base Plus with a Carl Built 400 HD without any issues? I'm still trying to get my arms around all of this, please be patient. Thank You!
