OK, here is what I would like to accomplish. Take my Trucker 5000 and add shaft and stinger to make it work on 15 or 17 meters. I did some research and found that the coil is equal to 53 inches of antenna. So if I use the 22 inch shaft, the coil (which is 53 inches), and a 58 inch whip I would...

Had a little time this weekend to chase some DX. 17 had some nice openings for me. I made contact with RA9CUH, Alex in Asiatic Russia, JA1CG, Haru, 121 miles NW of Tokyo, RK3BF, Victor in Moscow, and RA3AJ, Val who also lives in Moscow. Had several nice QSO's stateside also. I am glad I had the...

Congrats there Tim, now get going on that upgrade my man, you won't ever regret it. Just ask HH, I've been trying to catch him on the air for 4 months now<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"> . Take care and best wishes. Hope you have been...

I recently made a 75 meter dipole. Here is how it is constructed. I used plexiglass to make the feed point, 6x6, 1/4" thick. Drilled 2 holes, one on each corner to attach the wire to and two more holes in the center for the coax to go through. Why 2 holes? If you snake the coax through one then...

He lives in NOVOROSSIYSK, and I sure don't know where that is. Guessing from the Scandanavian countries that have been very strong on 17 meters I would say NE Russia. Just a guess tho. Stu, I have been enjoying HF for sure, I don't do a lot of transmitting, but a lot of listening, but when...

Made a contact with RN6BY, Alex in Russia last nite on 18.138 USB. Was a thrill for me. Got a 5-7 report so I gues my puny little station was gettin out a little. fasteddy<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"> </p>

This isn't exactly right, but divide your RMS by .707 and that will get you a really rough estimate. fasteddy </p>

Here's a thought. Use the ones that come with CTCSS. Set all the clubs up to use a certain squelch tone, and then you will only hear when another club member is talking. Give it a shot and see how it works. fasteddy </p>

Muddog, I think once you start using these radios you will change your mind. Nothing like having a nice quiet frequency to communicate on. With GMRS you are not limited to the 500 milliwatts that you are with FRS, and you can use an external antenna. Just do us all a favor and buy the license...

Bub73, It sounds like you might have some carrier on your SSB signal. A quick way to check is to tune 1KC up (for LSB)and 1KC down (for USB), and see if you hear a tone. If you do than it is carrier on your SSB signal. You would then need to go into the rig and adjust the carrier balance to get...
