    What a Pleasure to Operate!

    I have also really enjoyed getting to talk to fellow members, it is nice to put a voice to the name. I really like that you can throw some wire up and start talking on the radio. What i really like about this site is someone is always willing to help you out, keep up the good work guys.

    Anyone ever used a retractable flagpole to get a vertical antenna in the air?

    One thing you can do is the top rail, then go to the conduit section find the one that the top rail fits into its a pretty good fit. overlap 6-8" drill a hole and pin it with a eye bolt that makes it easy to pull out when you lower it. I like to put some paint on the inner pipe to let you know...

    Great review Tim. I have the mega watt 40 amp and the cheaper amazon 30 amp power supply and both have been great, I only use them on 11 meter and don't get any noise that i can hear from either. I don't have your equipment to test or your knowledge on how to test as you have. My only question...
