agree on that,..... the CB "18 foot" thingy is a myth, however, with certain antennas, (end fed Zeps for instance) it does make a difference if it is fed from a Voltage loop or a Current loop;)

do those rigs run a little hot with those covers on them?

HUH??? aparently, you didn't read what I posted. "to answer that part of the question,...... yes, feeding an antenna @ elect 1/2wl mults is the same as full wl's." ... and it is. wheres the "myth"?:blink:

to answer that part of the question,...... yes, feeding an antenna @ elect 1/2wl mults is the same as full wl's. in other words, looking at the sine wave, 0 deg, 180 deg, and 360 deg are on the same axis,

jeez,... ya mean I was wasting my time when I put a red rubber cap on one of my ground planes radials and then used a rotor to turn it?:headbang

there are 2 versions of PA's in the 706MKII series,.... don't even consider anything with a SN lower than 16xxxxx. actually ,.. think hard about any 706, unless it is really cheap, there are much better rigs avail now.

well, for MONO band antenas, I do favor "tuned feedlines", however, 2 meters is 4 MHz wide. I would pick the part of the band you intend to operate on and aim for that freq range. for some projects, go here and look around Antenna Projects or perhaps a ground plane antenna built on a chassis...

yep, they will be back again for the NASCAR race later this summer

don't think we will get there during this cycle,.... yep, 24/7 workin the world on 5 watts,..... after a while,...... it could make you sick:blink:

pretty much exacly correct. BTW: I just did something I have never done before on any forum,... I used the IGNORE function,.... no more bullshit from socialists in 2nd rate countries.:thumbup: they are just like "problem" radio operators,......... without an audience, they go away.

speaking of CRAP,... you should look in a mirror. you obviously don't know the difference between a TRUE democracy and a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC.<gotproof>.

there are 2 208h's listed on QTH.COM right now**Jump_im**

just about any fairly modern HF rig will give you 10 thru 160 meters. best bands?,.. I use 40 a lot and 20 a little,... YMMV. congrats on the ticket/upgrade**Jump_im**

a GENERAL license is not similar to your Novice. his Licenseallows access to all amateur bands using all modes and full legal power levels.

huh??? you really don't have a firm understanding of our Constitution and its Amendments. the 1st amendment not only covers an established state religion, it also provides for freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the right to assemble, and to petition the goverment. it was written BY...

actually, I was just joking, but,....... I have to ask, did ya go look @ them?:D

I guess i am too..... one in a while I have been known to call CQ in MARTIN 1:thumbup1:

Gee, I dunno about that. its not the best idea, but, it is perfectly legal. the ONLY band where USB/LSB usage is regulated by the FCC is 60 meters

err,...... the holes in those traps go on the bottom:lol:

10 meters?? try 75....... listen to 3980 during the daytime,.... you hear "CACTUS", "WATERMETER", ect, all day long:blink:
