Hiya :tongue_smilie: The beauty with radio is our ability to dabble into the EM spectrum which is known to be an element of the building blocks and structure of the known universe.......we use this to communicate with and, perhaps make little experiments. Although, we think from our personal...

Hiya:) Yeah, the mobile bit came from the fact, because antennas used in a mobile situation, mostly on higher frequency bands are thus vertical polarised so that it becomes easier to use the antennas with ground wave or local communications. Please forgive me, if I painted a slightly...

Hiya On fleabay you can get the brand new battery for arounds, £5 or 6 so about $8 and the car charger, plus the stuff to program it with the PC. There fab, especially if you loose your BF whilst shopping:thumbup: In the UK they come straight from the factory in Hong Kong......so...

Hiya It's simples, yes a plain vertical can beat a yagi which is 20 meters high. However, I think we need to consider spooky action at a distance......everything is possible but not always probable......that mobile vertical would not beat a high positioned yagi more that 1 time in a 100 or...

Hiya These are so cool. A member of my Club had one round the neck most nights. I like the camouflaged one;) For the price, you can not really go wrong.....:wub: Going to get one soon tho.

Hiya Interesting conversation, I run a single quad, and use it on the CB band, 11 m and then 10 and 12 meters too. This antenna is vertically polarised to pull in the local vertical FM signals in the UK. Additionally, I use the same antenna on the 11 and 12 meter ham bands for DX. My...

Delta Loop for 10 to 12 meters Hiya there;) Im in a space limited situation, however, Im also 20m high and facing East but located in the City of London, UK. Because, I now live in a high rise, it can be difficult getting out on some bands that really need a long vertical polarised...

Thank you for this, I felt really let down when I found out this earlier today when it arrived. Apparently, other OF S45, not HP, users around in me in the UK seem convinced that it will do 40 watts out the back on FM. Is this true? I have a RF choke from coax next to the antenna so...

omega force S45HP..FM rf power increase Hi all Today, I have just received my nib S45HP. Obviously, because I live in the UK so I will only use FM or SSB. I have followed most of the instructions through out this thread and, I have adjusted the SSB RF output to about 60 watts swing...
