I have been following this thread ND88 so I'm glad to hear you made a couple of contacts. As I'm sure your aware, being off Frequency and Galaxy go together. JK guys, take it easy.
Exactly, what's the excitement of radio when you to talk to the same guys day after day. Not trying to come off a rude but if skip is getting in your way then use the phone. I'm bias because the local idiots drive me nuts with who's amp is bigger and how do I sound with this mic. :mad: Enough
Just made a contact from NY to station 437 in Corpus Christie, Texas on my barefoot Magnum 257 with a Wilson 5000 in a soft top Jeep Wrangler in the middle of buildings and no where near salt water. Anything is possible...LOL
I don't see where the Wilson mag is the problem. Would it be better if you drilled the hole? Probably yes from what I've heard but I cant see that being necessary.
My old base was a used Antron 99, used astron 20a power supply, used Magnum S9, used coax on a few sections of used Rohn tower. Made contacts to Ireland, France, Jamaica, all over the US and unfortunately the locals too. With patience it can be done on a budget, good luck with it Kobbekid.
