OCF for sure.;)

:thumbup:

Hi Mike, Mike here.... I currently run a G5RV at 36' and an antenna tuner. With my TenTec 544, barefoot at 100w, I can pretty much talk to anyone that I hear, worldwide. Of course there are always some that are unreachable, due to pile-ups, conditions, etc. I am currently looking at different...

Oh for goodness sake..... go and take the test. If you've done it before, you can certainly do it again.:thumbup1:

Canada???? New Hampshire is in the United States, last time I checked.:huh:

Yeah, I can see why you thought I was yet another complainer. My point was that hopefully the FCC nails them. Fortunately, the bands are dominated by highly intelligent, rule obeying operators, who are a pleasure to communicate with.

Geeze, you guys are something else. I only posted it so others could hear how ridiculous those guys were talking. I wasn't complaining or indicating that I couldn't take it or anything like that. Of course I know enough to move on. This aint my first rodeo either.

Get used to it? I know it's nothing new.

He's gone now, thank goodness. Bye bye

This guy needs to be taken care of.

My Station TenTec Model 544 HF Tranceiver, TenTec Model 262M Power Supply, Electro Voice Model 729S Ceramic Cardiod Mic., Jo Gunn Antenna Tuner, Memtrix MX-41A Frequency Counter, G5RV Dipole @ 36'. Pretty much talk to anyone I hear, worldwide.

That's precisely what I did, by utilizing the available trees to hang it from.:wink:

:oops:Actually, 36 ' = 10.9728 m

Mine runs NE-SW at a height of 9.144 m. (The ladder line which runs verticaly from the intersection of the two poles is 30' (9.144 m) to the balan.) Works equally well in any direction. I eventually would like to move it further away from the house though.

Yes, well I did receive some negative responses when I first came up with the idea a few years back, but hey, it worked like a charm!:thumbup1:

I had a Maco 103 once and filled the elements with expanding foam insulation, which took care of the whistling and preserved the elements from the inside out. I live by the ocean and metal gets attacked by salty air and high winds. It was still like new when I sold it after a couple of years.

O que o torna português? :confused:

Acknowledged, Tnx.:thumbup1:

Used to be 7732granitestate.:whistle:
