    2 antennas 1 roof

    I have a wilson 5000 for CB and now a larsen dual band 2 m/70 cm NMO mount antenna I want to mount to my ford ranger. I always had the wilson mag mounted to the center of the roof, and am getting ready to drill a hole for the permanant mount. I also want my VHF/UHF antenna permanant mounted, but...

    Got an Icom IC-208H today

    I had been looking for a decent first radio, and was trying to keep it on the cheaper side. I looked at a LOT of radios online, but a local made me a nice deal on a barely used icom 208H. It looks like it was NEVER used, actually. I was leaning toward the Yaesu ft-2800M, but for literally only a...

    Took the technician test today

    I passed:) I had thought about doing it for a long time, and some friends recently told me I should try, so last night I got on QRZ.com, and did the practice tests.

    Heard you coming back to me today, but every time you'd get my # out, you faded out. I think mother nature was messing with me! 73s, 815 chicago

    coax length-LDF4 heliax

    Does coax length matter on a base like it does in a mobile (for example 3 ft. increments)? My antenna is I-10k roughly 58' from ground to bottom of antenna. Coax is Andrew LDF4 and will go down the length of the tower, almost to ground, where the shield will be grounded, then go back up the...

    OLD tube radio - variac?

    A friend of mine has an old Tram D201A as well as a couple other old tube radios, that are in mint condition, but have'nt been plugged in for at least 15-20 years. I heard that to get them up and running again, we need to start them up slow through a "variac" to prevent damaging the caps. My...
