Very nice setup !! Should serve you well for a long time :thumbup:

A single band dipole or fan dipole would be a good way to go about it ,simple to build and usually no tuner required. If you are going to buy one an off center fed windom works fairly well and in most cases the built in tuner in most radios will work just fine. I use an off center fed...

Not bad at all Dave !! Out of a mobile makes it even better ...sounds like I need to start poking around 12 meters as well

There was a CME/solar storm or one of those sun related deals that has had HF really messed up this past week...there was a couple of days that I didnt hear anything at all from 17 to 10 meters.... but on the bright side,things are starting to open up again

The 2900 is a great little 2 meter rig...... Hard to beat those radios !! :)

Just swallow the beans like a pill....that would be extended release :w00t:

I am off work today due to weather and decided to turn on the radio...at 7:30 AM local time I was scanning across 20 meters and was surprised to hear the general portion of the band silent ...... that dont happen everyday.....

Of course !! It is a bonafied Redman super duper display that will remain accurate even after the nuclear zombie apocalypse :D

Take a hard look at the Yaesu FT 60 handheld .It is a duel bander and has a really nice extended receive as well. And the best part is it is under 200$. I have had mine for about a month now and I am really enjoying it,small and compact ,5 watts output,simple to program,good battery...

Handhelds have their place,but they are very limited as to their range reguardless of the antenna you put on them.They are great little workhorses and will serve you well,just keep in mind they are kind of like using a slingshot when you need a high powered rifle For the kind of money the...

I read somewhere that SWR readings will change depending no how bad they have been verbally abused.....SWRs need reassuring that they are important and needed :laugh: :tongue:

CK, no worries from me.... :wink:

When I was running 11 meters I was above channel 40 ssb ... 27.415 to about 655 or so....found alot of contacts in that range with 90 % of those contacts were 27.555 down to 415 ...for some reason 27.555 was usb at the time and most all the other frequencies were lsb Looks like you have a...

I to believe in God,being raised in an Assembly of God church I have seen to many things happen not to believe.At this time I am not currently active in any church due to personal reasons But I do not go around knocking others down for their beliefs either,or lack there of,never will.Am I...

Driver pretty well covered it .....best of luck figuring it out

grats on getting all the items together for your station :thumbup: Now just to get out there and throw some rf into the air !!

29 mhz is in the FM portion of the ten meter band and general class or higher for class requirements. If you are hearing "bleedover" from the CB band chances are that guy is running a splatter box radio and kicker ...I can assure you if that guy is ever located he will be in more hot water...

Alot of great contacts being made the past few weeks !! :thumbup: That is always a good thing when we all get a chance to play radio. Been working Europe ,Australia, Asiatic Russia just to name a few here. Fixing to fire up the radio and have a scan around the bands..... :D
