Great comments. Thank you. 985 chicago

Thanks Robb, sure i could mount a ground plane at the top, this would be ideal.The planned ground plane verticle is not the primary antenna.Reasons for not putting it on the top... #1. Additional exposure to lighting. #2. I only chase dx. I think a height of 35' is ok. #3. Cost. To have a...

The band was only open Saturday afternoon late between Northern Illinois and Southern Califorina. With my horz. yagi pointing west my signal hit the atmosphere on the west coast and bounced over to Texas. No conditions between Chicago and Texas directly were possible. Backscatter. and...

Found this group HPSD antenna's looks like a very interesting design. They have some long boom designs. Most offer a wide band width. Anyone purchase a set from them ? 985chicago.

Harmonizer is a lot of fun

Greetings Rob, The purpose for all the hardware is to achive maximum clarity. I replace all the tubes with RCA black plate command 5751's. replace all the Op amps. When done right, you can get harmonics not found from a straight CB with a D104. Yes, only a few can hear the bandwidth, but this...

ESSB audio Greetings The Kenwood TS870 with a good quality microphone like you have is a great start. IMOP. Maybe the best SSB " out of the Box " ham radio ever made. Your Kenwood can receive from 0 to 6000 kHz. As you know ,most other radios are limited from 100 Hz to 2600kHz at best...
