Sorry, I'm on the road but will check it when I get back later this week

Well, they did get replaced (eventually), but I hadn't even noticed their condition when I took the cover off. I'm scratching my head here wondering if that was from the old tubes, or if there's still an unidentified problem. Oddly it's still putting out power on the problem bands, just with...

To be clear, take the tuner out of line, radio>meter>amp>dummy load and check/adjust SWR at the amp's input tuning? You'd think they'd have tuned it into a dummy load as well to be "all good" before they shipped it. Like I said on the radio's meter though, it's showing power out as expected...

Oh yeah, I should have added >tuner> in to the coax run noted above. Any time this IC-7100 folds the power back, it shows on it's meter and it's not showing any reduction. Oddly, it's putting out as much or more power on the above mentioned "problem bands" as it did pre-Ameritron, just not...

They were shipped back installed, but seriously wrapped in foam and taped

Sorry, this is a long one. I'll start with the issue before I get in to the back story... Current situation - Just got my AL-811H back from Ameritron repair. All good on 15/17/20 & 40m. On 10/12/30 & 80m, I can't get the grid current above 10mA and if I increase input power, grid will...

Knock the dust off the boat anchors, because here we go... Tuesday nights, time TBD (suggestions?). Net Control: Tim/AE6LX On air 449.500 - Listings posted HERE to open it up to all WWDX readers. More info to come... Stand by Hart

Seems to me that things are so far gone that there NEEDS to be a successful common sense "outsider" to straighten things out. The only "politician" that I would trust to get the job done is Trey Gowdy, but he's not running. I like the fact that Trump pisses all over "PC". PC is ruining this...

You can get your element lengths & spacing here... http://www.k7mem.com/Electronic_Notebook/antennas/yagi_vhf_quick.html I've had very good luck with this calculator using a folded dipole driven element.

Don't think that getting North of it is going to help. Last week the smoke was blowing S. East down toward Coachella. Today it's headed dead North back in to more fuel. This morning it was blowing towards Vegas, by this afternoon it was headed No. West. This pic is from the So. bound 15...

Sorry for your loss. Losing a member of the family is brutal.

Prosperity?

Back cover...

Did any of you happen to catch the BACK cover of Vanity Fair by chance?

You might check to see if your city has a party/nuisance ordinance on the books. It's pretty common for there to be an ordinance in place that applies an escalating series of fines for repeat offenders. I'd seen it work in other places that I lived and it was quite effective. 1st visit -...

I've run a Comet CA-2X4SR on a similar truck for 5 years with zero regrets. The "tree strikes" that you mentioned are what kept me from punching a hole in the roof. I used a big mag mount on mine, so when the wife (it's never me) drives under a branch, it simply knocks it over rather than...
