Gemtronics GTX-77 and Tram Diamond 60. Scored them for 30 bucks each. Box stock, a little dusty, and still work great.

Used 14awg wire from an old extension cord, hub and insulators are cut from a couple of old campground signs. Spreaders are from a previous 1/4 wave ground plane project. I cut a section of female acme threaded paint roller handle to use as a nut for the center of the hub. The top post...

Made my first and only contact on 16LSB today with 572 Arizona mobile to mobile! There is a group of locals near me on 16 AM that operate pretty often and I don't operate sideband when they're talking. Sometimes I go to AM and join them, nice group...

And a few of those big stations key up and call CQ right on top of a station they just finished a QSO with after that station has initiated a contact with someone else. Wrecks a lot of contacts, I hear it often.

“Most of my wandering in the desert I've done alone. Not so much from choice as from necessity - I generally prefer to go into places where no one else wants to go. I find that in contemplating the natural world my pleasure is greater if there are not too many others contemplating it with me, at...

Idaho, California, and Oregon on 12 watts from Missouri!

What area of St Louis?

I'm a doofus. It was around 12:45.

I was on my way home about 4:45 your time and you were all up in my radio banging out contacts lol. I was doing 70 mph west bound so yeah I think the ole Sirio was bent way over and I just couldn't get out QRP. By the time I got to "my sweet spot" the pipeline had moved. One of these days...:)

My first repeat dx contact yesterday, 999 Boston! Talked to him a few days ago and again yesterday. Excellent report. I love operating QRP.

Thanks! It's about a 1978 I believe. Gemtronics GTX-77 that as far as I know has never been tuned, modded, or even opened. Get's good audio reports and yeah the inverted V is working pretty good out on my brothers deck. I'd be surprised if it's even swinging 12 watts lol. I feel like I'm fishing...

Rockin this rig today. Blew the dust off my first sidebander. Made a few contacts and having fun!

I'm bound and determined to keep running this McKinley barefoot especially since I'm new to sideband and dx and I also think it helps me as far as experimenting with antennas. Went three days without a contact and boom yesterday Boston came back on 36L like it was a landline connection and I was...

they're so dang long. Is it feasible to cut a whip in half and connect with an appropriate collar for static use? Or use two shorter whips in the same fashion to make a tank whip like those sold in the UK?

Never heard of em. Dude's got soul and how can you not like horn sections. Great tunes, thanks for sharing.

So fortunate to have seen Rush multiple times. Took our children to a couple of their shows. RIP Neil Peart.

The inaugural broadcast would open with this

I heard you too. Pretty clear in Missouri. I was sitting in my brothers driveway on a culdesac surrounded by duplexes, transformers, and probably 100 wifi signals...917 Pasadena this is 561 Missouri....nada. I'll get ya one of these days.
