any bad weather or storm after you got off 75m ,, maybe it got zapped with static charge?? I had an old 11m amp that got zapped during a snow storm from static from the wind/snow making a charge on a antenna,, heard it zapping, took the coax off the amp and the pl259 center pin would arc to the...

too bad you would need a special power supply to run it (input voltage 18-22 vdc)

THANKS, PM me a 75m frequency and time and ill see if this temporary 200+feet of wire can do anything, before the surgery I was testing it on some sdr site and300-500 miles it was sounding loud for only 100watts

thanks you all for the kind words,, im back at home getting around on my own and it the recovery stage, cant believe just 5 days ago I had open heart surgery,, so far so good and more good news my insurance is cutting me a check for the tower and even included a bonus $500 to clean the downed...

this is also the option ill be going back to since my tower went down, I had one of those on my roof already with no issues, I did use bolts,washers and nuts to secure it niceand tight to the roof

thanks the tower actually fell perfect into the back yard, could have been way worse if the tree took it any other direction waiting on an email from the insurance company, guy sounded cool about it , said its covered, send in replacement costs for the tower and antennas. might turn out ok

Had a bad storm hit our town a couple weeks ago,, 80+ mph straight winds they called it, and the neighbors tree came down on my garage roof and Tower, got the house all fixed and cut up the tower for scrap. lost my A-99, 6m beam, 2m beam, scanner antenna, and the tower was supporting my all...

even with the minimum of the solar cycle being in effect it still amazes me that qrp contacts can me made fairly easy. I set up outside today for a couple hours with my ft-891 set to 5 watts, an old solar brand automotive jump pack and a Alex loop antenna. made a hand full of contacts with the...

got my Abbree today, seems to be a real one, green plastic wrap, and 2 seals in the package does show higher results on the field strength meter, I don't really have any 2m repeaters that are on the fringe area ,, I did have one 440 repeater that is around 25 miles from me and the Abbree...

playing with the field strength meter here and I got the same results as that guy in the video with my original NAGOYA 771, really thought it would work better than the original ht antenna,, all the rest of my antennas were about what you would think, the longer the antenna the higher the field...

found 1 seller in Kentucky on ebay that had the 28" version for sale at 19.99 with free shipping, sold 11 already, 9 left , looked legit, had pics of the fake vs real antenna and packaging. will have to see what actually shows up

i would like to try one out also,, but I see the ones listed on e-bay are from ship from china so who knows if your getting a real or clone,,, and I have never purchased anything from amazon,, so if someone is going to buy one for themselves on amazon, I would gladly paypal you for the antenna...

yup here it is

yup check your "wal wart" plug , the Grundig uses the opposite of most , negative in the center and positive on the outer ring if I remember right,, and I think it is only a 6v adapter or try with new batteries

in the $300 range you can find a used Alinco dx-70 or a Kenwood ts-50 , both are easily modified to 11m

looks like a nice radio,, dmr really seems complicated compared to my icom id-51a d-star, I will probly do some more research on this one

28.425 mhz 24/7 lol pretty funny that you can google 28.425mhz and his name comes up multiple times

try from the "simonthewizard" page, I see he has it

sometimes you need to change the shape of the wire loop inside to get the best results on all bands
