    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...

    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?

    HAM/CB operators ... how old are you?

    You ain't lying!!

    HAM/CB operators ... how old are you?

    I can fully agree! If it's not the latest version of a smartphone, (which yes I do use and appreciate) they don't want anything to do with a hobby like this. I'm 43 here, and I've had the interest in this stuiff since I before I was legal to drive, and I will never give up the desire for this...

    Replacing RM Italy KL-203P blown transistors with IRF 520's?

    Redbeard190, I can say the same results came out with me on this one. With 20 watts SSB swing in, I get around 100-120 watts out, which is satisfactory to me considering...but yes the SWR is horrible while on...1.6-1.8'ish.

    Maco V5/8 (or any other vertical) above a 4 element yagi

    That definitely makes sense.

    Maco V5/8 (or any other vertical) above a 4 element yagi

    Just checking in again on this one, just wanting to get some opinions/results based on prior experiences?

    Replacing RM Italy KL-203P blown transistors with IRF 520's?

    I was kind of thinking the same since I have them already. 50/50 considering that I guess.
