    Something Interesting

    You hear the continuous shouting from the people about the truth but "surprisingly" never hear it reported by our "trusted" news sources or scrubbed from the internet as "misinformation". I was willing to walk from my career over the forced poison shots. I'm glad God granted me discernment to...

    MFJ to stop Building

    I have a few MFJ items that seemed to do alright. Took 2 trys on the 259c analyzer but I got a good one now. Sad to see another American based business go under but yes QC was an issue that most likely contributed to the demise.

    Water in coax

    When using coax seal I always back wrap a layer of tape around my connector first. Then seal, then another layer (sticky side down obviously) of quality black tape. This method keeps the connector clean and much easier to cut and remove when the time comes. Don't skimp on the tape...it's cheap...

    Upcoming solar eclipse.

    Had a clear sky in south central Illinois. We were in about 98% totality. Took the eclipse glasses in my pocket. Kinda cool to watch from 50 ft in a bucket truck. Temps dropped about 9 degrees. It was something I will not soon forget.

    Sirio mobile antennas, which is which

    I run a sirio P5000 with the fold over lever on a permanent mount on the roof of my old Ram. Works great. Only dump around 200 watts into it but swr is great. Good bandwidth also. My mount is a Diamond or comet... think it's a comet so-239 (uhf). Its been several years since install. All good.

    RCI 2950DX

    I have run all three flavors and have all three I rotate in and out of the lineup. The old orange face is fine but covers only to 26.000. For most this isn't a big deal but having coverage to 24.000 (for 12 meters) is nice in my opinion. The DX and "CD" offer this. I currently run a CD in the...
