RF Parts 811a tubes are as good as anyones elses chinese tubes, ASK about their refund policy before you purchase, I seem to reember they a quite good at refunds BTW: you can operate that amp with only 3 tubes, just leave the "hole" nearest the fan empty

WOW!!!! there's a spider in your hair!:ohmy: congrats on the new license

just in time for the real bad WX tonite,........ good luck we are under a tornado watch here in SW TN until tomorrow

I once loaded my TS-2000 directly into my 940:crying:,.... 100 watts and no damage to the front end. now I double and triple check whenever I make coax changes

I have to ask,.... with all this wire shortening, are you actually cutting the wire? I usualy just fold it back on itself, and after I get it where I want it, I cut it off once.

thats the reason I made the post about MARCONI antennas Vs HERTZ antennas,......... people were trying to attribute certain properties of a Marconi antenna (earth grounded/counterpoise/radials/TOH) to a Hertz antenna (isolated from earth/no counterpoise/radials), when by DEFINATION, the lack...

the 10/12 slug will adjust for best input on 10 OR 12, you have to make a choice,...... or a compromise same for the 15 meter adj pot.

well, I am 5 days older than dirt,..... in another post I even mentioned a KRAKO SPARK-OMATIC:blink:

seems that there is some confusion about the difference between a MARCONI antenna and a HERTZ antenna. Nearly all antennas have been developed from two basic types, the Hertz and the Marconi. The basic Hertz antenna is 1/2 wavelength long at the operating frequency and is insulated from...

they may be isolated @ D.C. , but @ RF they are not;)

hows your weather? don't tell me you made the mistake of working on an antenna when the WX was nice:blink:

close, but no banana

this could get bloody,................. anyone know the difference between a Canadian and a canoe?:lol:

using a chain link fence can be great,......... or it can really sux. the individual wires are NOT really connected and they sometimes and sometimes do not contact each other resulting in intermittent grounding and NOISE in the reciever. good luck

I don't have any problems with MFJ stuff, but every thing I buy new from them I look real close inside it before I use it,... lots of pieces of wire, cold solder joints , ect are common. I went to the ARRL day in the park @ MFJ this year and they put on a great meal for everyone, also 15% of...

just send the thing back and tell them you want your money back because there was NO customer caused spike

no problem here with this forum, I run NORTON however,..... a certain popular CB Antenna web site DOES have a virus issue

actually the lenght of "tuned" ground placed or buried radials is not that much of a factor, the close proximity to the earth will detune them. believe it or not,.... using more radials will cause the observed VSWR to increase,..... but the efficiency of the antenna will increase. I have 3...

GASP!!!!~ thats exactly what I said in a different thread a while ago,........... when a so called "expert" in England just couldn't (wouldn't) acknowledge that he was wrong:D
