    I went 22.6 ft on my Hygain SPT-500 with my tophats bent at a 45. Also I had to shorten my vertical under the radials by 3/4" because my vertical was broke where it attached to the base. To my surprise im 1.2 - 1.5 on my SWR now. Im still a little short as im 1.5 on channel 1 and 1.2 around...

    Things I fixed/upgraded: The regulator board was nearly shot when I got it so I upgraded the low voltage and 10V supply board with the new 2995DX board and I also upgraded the main low voltage capacitor with an audio grade Nichicon. While I was in there I upgraded the meter lights to white LED's.

    I had a DX with Okinawa Japan the other day in my mobile barefoot with a 4 ft. Kenworth Firestik clone. This is no joke, I almost crapped my pants. This was 2 days ago to be exact. We exchanged info and greetings. We must have had some serious flares that day or something... Unfortunately my...
