Yes all on 6 meters. I have been on 6 meters since 1994 & it's still my Favorite Band. When it's open it really is the MAGIC BAND! ALL of these were on Phone except Japan which was on CW. I can't copy my own call sign now but I did manage the QSO with the JA station on the Magic Band. (1) ZL was...

I only need Alaska but I have been looking for them since 1994 & I have never heard one KL7 that was actually in Alaska. I have Japan & lots of stations in Europe & Africa & even (4) ZL's but not one Alaska? Even have the Falkland Islands Twice?

2nd day in a row that the Magic Band has come alive here in EM80. Very strong signals on Phone just the way I like them. I'm only using a Hi-Par Saturn Loop & a Diamond V2000a Vertical & 100 watts. Some signals are stronger on the vertical, so I work them on the V2000a & the ICOM 7610 & some are...

I have been using an ICOM PW-1 since 2013 & I LOVE them. I lost my 1st one in 2023 to a nearby lightning strike which also took out my ICOM 7700, 9100, & lots of other gear. I purchased another PW-1,9100, & a New 7610 since the 7700 was not repairable because ICOM no longer has any parts for it...

I had many conversations with Rob Hood at Ameritron & he was very helpful. He would go through things to check so I didn't need to ship the amplifier back to them. He saved me lots of shipping costs. Great guy to chat with as well. If I found the issue, he would send me the parts as well so it...

Prep all you like but the End is coming for Everyone & Everything. Death is not something to Fear if you have made your arrangements for the Next Life. You can't beat death of the body. I'm putting my efforts & energy on the next life. People are stressing over this one & the stress is only...

Have you contacted them and requested an actual picture or two?

Everyone doesn't have room for even a small beam so a vertical may be their only choice. I would prefer a Mosley PRO-96S over my TA-53M but I don't have enough tower that can handle it, a rotor that can handle it, or the space for it above my property, but I sure can DREAM.

I have a Mosley TA-53M & there are hundreds if not thousands of pictures of it on the world wide web. Mosley I would think has pictures of the vertical mentioned in this post. They have been in business right here in the USA for over 78 years. You can't stay around that long building JUNK...

You may contact Mosley by phone Monday - Friday & ask them. They actually answer the phone & emails as well. I will keep using my Mosley over any other brand of antenna made because it works Very well & is built like a tank. No motors that fail or fiberglass that falls apart in the sun just...

I still have my Club Vest from the ADF Operators from Channel 5. It was the Armadillo Operators. I was just a teen aged kid, so the vest no longer fits me but it's still in very good condition. I was ADF-1746 "SIX-SHOOTER". My dad was ADF-1748 "BOOTLEGGER". The vest has a Very Large Armadillo...

I have never been one that cared if anyone agreed with me about anything. I'm not into pleasing others & for sure of changing my way of doing things for them so they are happy. We can't please everyone so we should just please ourselves when possible & we will all be much happier. If that upsets...

I have never measured a run of coax for any band since 1965. I use what I have & I don't have any issues with my stations. I use quality LMR-400 for almost every run even in my mobile going to my Lil Tarheel HP. All of my antennas are resonant, so I don't need an antenna tuner either. If you...

It would be Great if All POTA, NETS, & Contesters were moved to one portion of each band & they were Not allowed any use of the WARC Bands. Maybe give them their own band so they can just bother each other. About all I hear on 20 meters is POTA every hour of every day if the sun is up. I'm a DX...

The tower and all of the antennas on it came down during a Hurricane in October 2023. I'm in the process of installing a New tower with a Mosley TA-53M with the 40 meter dipole. M2 6M5X, & a Hi-Gain 14 element 2 meter yagi.

Lil Tarheel HP that's connected to my ICOM 7000. Great combination.

I don't see that DX has been blocked? I have worked Israel, Australia, New Zealand, & many more countries the last couple of days on several different bands so I guess their secret shield has some serious holes in it. The conditions are far from Perfect but I have seen them far worse many times...

I know this is a very OLD topic but it's still relevant Today. I sent an ICOM 756 PRO II back to Kirkland, Washington for repair of a receiver preamp & it was out of warranty by a few weeks. It was repaired for FREE & returned to me. It eventually failed many years later when it burned a hole in...

Cal at hamrepair.com does great work & his rates are Very Good as well. I have used his services several times as have friends of mine. W4KVW

It's a great desk microphone. I used one for a while with an Alinco 635T & it always got great reports. de W4KVW {:>)
