I have a old PDLII laying up here and it has a solid wire that looks like 16g or 18g its small compared to 14g romex wire.

What do you think Sw DONE DEAL?

Ding Dong the code is dead, the code is dead. Get them tickets boys and head for 80 meters. :) Don't mind the Indian's long the way. Good luck to all who are advancing into HF and beyond. Jonbah CDX 3030

www.ku4ab.com/ These omni's work real good!!! I have two of them set up on 2mtr SSB. Jonbah CDX3030

Just someone playing Ham police, probably not well liked.

Congrats Ron Can't wait to catch you on HF Jonbah

Take a look at US Towers T tilt base. Good and strong with minimum steel. You could design one simular and have a welder put it together for you. See it here. This tower weighs about 700 pounds plus the antennas. jonbah.com Jonbah

Did you see them old hens clucking, bauck bauck bauck!!! :D Yah gotta love it!!!

Sounds good I'll bet it works well. I'm using the K1FO design with the T-Match, Its still in the testing phase but all looks good so far. TNX Jonbah

Northstar- I had high hopes for my AR-270B but it just doesn't seem to do the job it should. It may be broken inside or have some water in it, I'll have to disassemble it and check it out someday. Jonbah

I'm about 20 miles south of Williamsport

I'll be in there on 50.125 with a 5 element homebrew and FM simplex in the mobil listen up for FN-10 QRN what type of feed are you using on your homebrew 6 element? Jonbah

Hay 2M Guy is that a J-Pole in the background? Good coax is the key for a good 2 meter or 440 antenna setup. You would be amazed with the differance in receive. I use a old Cushcraft AR-270 ground plane its about 20' long at about 70 feet. I'm not impressed with it at all. Its gotta go ...

The 80 meter rotatable dipole has to be shortened by loading coils which will be less efficient than a full sized dipole. Being rotatable will help get you out of the nulls or dead spots that a flat dipole has but a inverted v has a fairly good omni pattern as long as its up high enough and the...

Buy your neighbor a new TV set. And take the old one out in the field and shoot it with a 12g Jonbah

I've been reading up on the extended double zepp antenna and have been wanting to try one out for the HF bands. Has anybody had any luck with these? They seem to have a advantage over the 1/2 wave dipole but mostly limited to one band. Thanks Jonbah

That's a good question, I would think you would get interaction between the two antennas, but a quad? not sure about that. This should be an interesting post. Jonbah

One big benefit of having a beam is having side and back rejection and the ability to block out unwanted bleed or noise, with a ground plane antenna you get signals and noise from all sides and your stuck with it. Money wise a new two element quad and a small rotor would run a few bucks but...

I have a Mosley PRO 67B at 60 feet The antenna does everything exactly as Mosley said it would, the SWR curves are right on for every band. The antenna handles 6 bands and works very well on each. It is built very we'll and only weighs 100lbs :) Two thumbs up here. I don't know anything about...

Radio Shack is trying to stay alive by moving into the newer high tech gadgets shame. Try the push up and see it might be ok if you mount it solid like that. jonbah
