    Let's see where this goes, and if it eventually "involves" any other members!...Who's worked ME (45 in Florida) in DX??

    I rarely get anything from Tennessee on 11m... the evening 80&40m shooting the bull booms in of course at night upon the band openings but would love to get some of the closer DX on 11 & 10 as well sometimes.

    Let's see where this goes, and if it eventually "involves" any other members!...Who's worked ME (45 in Florida) in DX??

    Me and my zip tied up station go by "45" here in Tallahassee Florida on the 11m band, and I'm curious on any members that have talked to me during a DX blast?! Just seeing where this goes, and maybe some other members can connect and confirm other contacts for themselves with others in this...

    Using another radio as a monitor...BUT...

    That sounds like a very good possibility...I'll try that tonight.

    Using another radio as a monitor...BUT...

    I've actually tried all speeds/settings for AGC and it's still a little wonky sounding while in the house.

    Using another radio as a monitor...BUT...

    So this is probably simpler than I think, but it has always had me stumped. My Yaesu FTDX-10 is the transmitter in this situation, hooked to a dummy load...my Icom 7300 is the receiver/monitor, as I'm setting the eq in the Yaesu. Even with the Yaesu turned all the way down to 5 watts, and only...

    Antron 99 mounted off the side of my tower?

    I appreciate all of the info, and I actually tried it last night and it's definitely a NO-GO. The ATU in the radio wouldn't even lock on to a tune.

    Antron 99 mounted off the side of my tower?

    Just wondering if anyone has any experience mounting an Antron/Imax 2000 off the side of a tower. Without getting into the reason I need to do this, any opinions on minimum distance out from the tower for decent 10m/11m local operation in this mounting style? 2 feet...4-5 feet...more? I know a...

    Unit 399 JJ in Medellin Colombia

    JJ was definitely an awesome radio friend and I'm sure an even better one in person, even though we never met. We spoke sometime back in September and that's the last contact we made recently. Link attached below of a nice contact with him about 12-13 years ago. He will be missed big time on...

    Maco V-58 Height vs Performance

    So in another thread I asked opinions on my Sirio 4 element yagi being up 50' vs back down to 1 W/L high, now I'm curious on any opinions or real world findings on an omni, such as my Maco V-58 in the same scenario? Currently my V-58 is 60' up on my tower (60' to the base of the Maco) and some...

    Jeeze exactly!

    11 meter is very quiet?

    I'm not sure right off, but your call does sound familiar. It's been so crazy in there lately that my pen can keep up the ink flow from me "chicken scratching" numbers down!

    11 meter is very quiet?

    What's your DX call again Rwb?

    11 meter is very quiet?

    It was definitely a pleasure running into another WWDX member on the air BC Coyote! You were slamming into Tallahassee Florida!
