Niteize has came out recently with a better one, I think, than the one you linked. I have used both, and I like the SlideLocks the best. https://niteize.com/camjam-slidelock-rope-tightener

Have to hunt the WebSDR.org. I get a lot of French stations, so I have been using Bordeaux Freebands to hear my station. Just click record. You will figure it out! Link below to the one I have the best luck. http://freebands.websdrbordeaux.fr:9000/

I did have the RF connection sealed with Scotch 33, and coax seal on top of that. Used coax seal where the wire from the ring loop attaches to the RF connection. Did not use anything on the other end of the wire that comes from the ring loop. Probably should have done that. Can the copper...

OK that sounds good about the Workman. I took down my Maco V58 for one reason. Every time it rained it would de-tune downward in frequency by lots. Otherwise, it worked great. Just wondering if the Workman will de-tune with rain?

Awesome! Going to give it a try tomorrow on 11 meter. Here is the Delta-Alfa radio club link for 135DA/0. The island is Malaita. https://www.delta-alfa.com/activities/135da-0/

Nice one! Wish I had been on the radio during that DX expedition.

I heard him last weekend, but he was low on my receive, but was coming up. Just checked his logs, and yes he heard me. I heard him about 4/4, but another station kept calling him, and stepping on his signal, so I never did get my signal report. Signal to noise ratio is awesome on a Delta...

Made the contact with 249DA/0 yesterday from western NC. I was 5/5, and Giovanni was 5/4 to 5/6. My Gain-Master 5/8 is getting more Pacific stations than I have ever had with any other antenna. Down below is the link to Giovanni's 249DA/0 adventure. https://www.delta-alfa.com/activities/249da-0/

Can't remember which video on YouTube. The reviewer said the extra board is 20 volts to the finals.

Ok good deal. He has not updated his logs for today yet, so hopefully I will be in his log the next update. Down below is his link from DX Adventure radio club. https://www.delta-alfa.com/activities/339da-0/log/

Had my first contact from 339DA/0 27.630 USB. Darren is on Pigeon Island Temotu Province. It's an on going island activation I think. Made contact at 5/5 round about 2:00 EST. from western NC.

There is a guy that is close to me that has had a Heathkit Cantenna listed on Facebook market place for a long time now for $50. He is highly rated. Link below. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/202632826266549/?ref=marketplace_profile&referral_code=undefined

Back early Spring of this year, I was having QSO's on 11 meter USB from a station on the Canary Islands, and his TS-50 sounded good...very punchy too.

Sorry for the late reply. Been really busy rebuilding stuff, and my body is just plain wore out. Arthritis is slowly doing what it does. Anyway, thanks for the replies and likes! Just glad to be back, and being part of the best radio forum on the net.

Helene was dumping rain on my area three days before the storm actually hit. Then the winds came, and more rain. On the day Helene hit here in Western, NC, it was around 6:00 AM morning, and did not subside to around 5:00 PM that evening. Winds were gusting to about 70, and staying steady...

Quad 6 is still a very good radio. The Quad 6 was not the only radio that came out that had the skippy encoder...Stryker and President Lincoln versions just to name a couple. There were others too.

SPT-500 assembled wrong from the factory video. Maco V58 assembly by Maco Antennas. For some reason I can't link the Maco antenna assembly video. Search Youtube: Maco V-58 Antenna Assembly I bought the Maco V58 a few months back, and it works very good. Just get the hoop right. Had the...

It's six 2879C's. The 150 watt transistors. Friend of mine had a 2x6 Fatboy. Nothing but trouble with the two pill engaged. It had a switch to cut the two pill transistor section off. Ran great on the straight six.
