Considered it but due to my work schedule it is not good. Has anyone heard good or bad about LICW Club??

A year later and still struggling. Ugh! My biggest problem is swing shifts and finding time when on shift to learn. Any ideas?? Bin

I had an old Rat shack base antenna that blew the match section. I constructed a matching ring similar to attached drawing. I tuned it for 10 metres and it would take everything a SB200 could put into it.

Had a 949, great radio overall. Loved it on SSB, great talker on AM.

I tried as well making a Tac-tenna. Didn't work out so well. (n)

HBB, Lookie here: https://www.66pacific.com/calculators/coil-shortened-vertical-antenna-calculator.aspx https://www.66pacific.com/calculators/coil-inductance-calculator.aspx

Great stuff.

Mostly use trees for antenna support, when needed a 7.2 mr fishing pole shortened to about 6 metres. Only fix need out of close to 300 activations was a cracked Anderson powerpole connector after I kneeled on it, otherwise a multi-tool always on my pack.

My HF kit is sub 3 lbs. Radio, antenna battery, external speaker, mike everything.

Will do

Hmm, I have the plumbing stuff as well. Maybe next antenna project after a few EFHWs.

Or hit an mountain top with a KX3 or KX2. Adjust the filtering down, wire 2 element yagi and you are good.

Hmmm.

TC, totally agree. Just look at our wantabe dictator hiding in his government paid "cottage" . Edit: Back to the original topic. EBay is not trustworthy. First and foremost, they want there money regardless of the transaction. If they keep your money for a few days, they make money off of that...

Good luck to all. Me being a portable guy most QRP I am hiding until Monday.

I operate portable KX2 only. Rarely with a 50 watt amp. Routinely into France from Alberta during SOTA activations. QRP or near QRP works well if done properly. I have not turned my IC7000 for over three years.

You??? never get bored.
