Does he know yet?

I think mine took 10-14 days

So is it only 2m ssb or does fm work also???

I have owned W-1000, W-5000 and the sirio 5000 and the sirio was the best of the bunch, both on swr and performance. They where all mounted on the roof of a dodge quad cab, I never touched the adjustment on the sirio and it had a 1:1 match.

Congrats again and we will make a contact soon!

Well not good for me I pulled a 72 hour shift , will miss contest and Pacificon which is one of the bigger hamfest in Cali. This is second or third year I have had to work during Pacificon.:( CK 1:30 am for me to talk with the 3.865 crew once or twice a week at most for me unless I get up and...

or a avante 5/8 and a Turner +3 :p

I have run a MY Antennas 8010 end fed it does what they and made many contacts with it. They make a 160-40 also never used that one. the 8010 is very well made and easy to put up. http://myantennas.com/wp/product-category/antennas/efhw-multi-band/ I ran 700 watts through it with no problem...

This is the go box I put together about a year ago mostly to take camping and safely transport the radio. There is a 120 power supply in the box when I finished, I also could use a 12v motorcycle battery that I have. I would just pull the power connectors out when I used the setup.

Do as Camaro said use a balun with short piece of coax. You will be glad you did. Buy this kit if you still need to get you antenna parts, 10.00 extra and you have extra wire to make another antenna. https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/dxe-wa-260

I have the FT857D and it's a great radio, but the screen is on the small side. Here is a video by OH8STN on the FT817 the setup works on the FT857d also, i purchased the bluetooth module and downloaded the software and it works pretty good and now i have a larger screen. picture of my tablet.

What cb did you use that looks like a great fit?

That looks really nice Camaro, hope mine got here today!

In the finished setup i have a power supply also. More of a to go box i guess.

Not exactly what your talking about but sort of. i have put it in my pickup and gone to a hill and made contacts.

Congrats Bearcat , i think the ft 450D would be a better buy than the 718 it will include 6m i don't think the 718 has 6m. Do like others have said do the best antenna you can.

Thanks Binrat, it was a lot of fun but tough with the poor conditions and I think i had more time to spend at the contest the way it worked out. And after we talked I was like shoot I should have turned it down to 10 watts for the extra points lol. I'm just a rookie and learning with all the...
