This is exactly why I stick to ladder line and vertical or horizontal diploes. That I understand. lol

Chill he says. haha. ok. I be a chillin. In this Florida house, I mount where I can. The pickins are slim. :(

The best wire antenna is the one you have of course. :)

I am not one of your sheep troll. This post was about the SIRIO SD-27 Dipole. I have built plenty of antennas, but I have utilized my free volition and decided to exercise my right to buy this one. It is my money, not yours. So therefore if I want to buy it, there is no rip off, except in...

Anyone that has been on here for awhile knows I used an RadioWavz dipole in an inverted v for quite awhile. AND - people heard me on that General Lee and that Varmint XL 250 ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. I was not the biggest gun by no means but fun per $ spend? I had a blast and held my own. :)

I think it is a really cool antenna that has real rf design behind it. No magic coil - just a good old dipole. I am going to buy one and use it vertcally for local. I could put it on the mast for the center fed inverted V doublet and have at it. :)

Not a real nice comment. How do you think that will make him feel if he fails?

The VEC in Clearwater FL sends it in online right after the testing session. I was legal the next day. YMMV. :(

shoot me a freq

Good luck with that one. Nice looking work though.

to isolate or not to isolate, that is the question. :)

All I can say is: ladder line.

Miller gives me a headache if I drink too many. :(

Yep - you nailed it. The oldest new guy trick in the book. Won't work. Don't waste your time. (snicker)

The 480s are great radios. The HX is what I have an I love having the extra 100 watts. When you run digital modes the duty cylce is real low using that radio. You can easily power it with an IOTA 55 amp power supply as a base. They only run around $150. The filtering in the stock radio is...

I am looking for a receiver to listen to the HF spectrum. A shortwave radio would be fine if it has SSB mode too. I will trade you a very strong custom made 2 pill, with 2 2879s in it. It is in a large 1x4 case on a giant heat sink with dual fans. Whatcha got?

I am a fan of two pieces of wire of equal length as long as your space will allow, real old school ladder line, and a good tuner. I use a balun outside the window and into the shack with a short piece of high grade coax, and shazam: 10 through 80 meters. Resonance is for babies. :)

damn cb people

I was only interested in power on 75m.
