HOLLY SHET! IM LEARNING! I THINK. Ok. What your saying is the feed of the 99 is as most all omni directional antenna is located at the lowest point of the antenna. Now since this feed acts as a radial point, it being closer to the ground (earth) that may tend to cause rfi. If your feed point is...

W5LZ PLEASE EXSPLAIN Right now my inverted V hasn't caused any bleeding problems. This may be due to the hours and infrequentcy of my operation. So is what your saying is the hight of the antenna (99) will effect the amount of tvi and that type of interferance? I've read many reviews on the 99...

ADVICIE ON A GOOD WORKING OMNI. After thinking about it for a while I think I would like to go with maybe an antron 99. This is my situation. I'm trying to stay as undercover as I can. If I go that route I'm gonna install the antenna on a telescopic post. I was looking for the shortest antenna...

THANKS I misspoke. I'm still learning and I did forget the total length is about 18ft and not 36. Thanks I will post my success and if I have any problems I will ask more questions. Thanks to all yall.

Thanks to the advice from m42duster n captainkilawatt my inverted V works well. As soon as I strung it the swr was perfect from 1-40. It needed no adjusting. I want to leave it as it does really good for dx-ing and ok for local qsl. Here's my question. I want to purchase another one and string...

WHAT A JOKE! If your over ten years of age and own one well, let me say, what a joke! Texas mud dog, what are you pawnee? I doubt it. I'm American first but, always fly the green white and red along side my stars and stripes. My family came to American in 1902. My great grandfather fought for...

Ok. The modulator has a mic input located on the front panel. On the rear panel is a mic (male) wire. So my mic gets plugged into the front panel. Then I assume the male mic wire in the rear plugs into the radio. Am I right so far ? Ok. Now I assume it pointless to use this with a power mic. So...

MOST EXCELLENT! I know most builders of these items print a number on the front ie 450. So does that number pertain to the output? Or is it just XL 450. What's the p.e.p? Is it anywhere near 450? I do know that's a scarce item. Especially one that mint looking. Congrats.

I've a Sonar fs23 and 3023. I've already removed the top bottom and side covers exposing the chassie that holds the tubes, transformer, crystals and the tube sockets. I've done a good job getting rid of all the dust. Now I want to know the best way to shine up the chassie. Im not sure what type...

First let me apologize as this has nothing to do with radio's or the like but if you have cable and TCM you may want to tune in at 7:43-8:00 pm as TCM will be airing a 1956 short on Reading's preparednass for nuclear attack. You may catch a glimpse of fimilier places in your town during 1956. I...

Wow! She must've been one hot lookin tower. Is that from the same guy who said "I never met a tower I didn't like"!?

I SMELL A RAT! Redman probably got someone pissed of by selling them one of those piece of junk amps thay sell. Or maybe the noise toy thay purchased didn't produce the sound it should have. Maybe it didn't beep long enough or the echo just wasn't up to par. As far as any amps thay may have or...

HOW MUCH? My curiousity has got me. I should have asked you in my first reply. What's the guy asking for it? And in you opinion what's the cosmetic condition 1-10? Looks on the outside aren't as important as the way it looks on the inside. Unless you like collector quality looks. Has it been...

VISUAL INSPECTION. How can one tell which paper caps to change out given theres usually about a dozen or more. What's the signs of a poor paper cap? Concidering the caps are easy to replace should you just replace them all? So back to the variac. What you say is as you increase the voltage the...

I OWN THREE. Double nuvvista front end. In my opinion it's one of the best reciving a.m. radios you will ever hear. Twin 6bq5's in a push pull configuration gives the radio a.m. audio that's hard to beat. The anl does what an anl should do. Thay are simple looking but don't be fooled by its...

I'm considering turning on some equipment that hasn't seen a outlet in about 35 years. The 3 radio's I'm currently using were as the fore mentioned. Thay worked as thay did the last time I used them. If a capacitor or diode's gonna pop will it? Or is it true that bringing it up slowly during a...

THANK'S I'm not surprised. I thought that would be the answer. D104's have to be the best Mic's ever made. Turner +2's are also excellent. Since I've been back in the hobby I've seen a few of these silver salutes on eBay. Theses just something cheap looking about them.

Has anyone ever had the chance to test a silver salute side by side with a d104? Better yet anyone ever compare it with the 104 on a scope? How do thay stack up?

it wasnt me who said i wanted a tcket. After bringing it home and having a chance to really look at it I've decided to leave it as is. After thinking about it. It was totally ridiculous to even concider what would be butchering a beautiful transciver. I'm currently using my fs2340 with a no...

A friend of mine who passed away many years ago left behind some radios. Most of the items were sold off by his son. His wife gave me a call and said she was selling the house and moving to Fla. While the attic was being cleaned out a few item's that were missed poped up. He was a ham. I'm gonna...
