Where are those billions now? That's what I'd like to know. They probably have the balls to says the high profits are from good management decisions? Pahhh!!!
Does higher fuel prices = more tax revenues ? I wonder.
Who owned all those shares that were sold for a high profit?
I just paid...
The Maco 5/8th will work fine for you, just mount it in the best location possible and as high as possible and it will work great.
Good luck with it.

This is why the ARRL has a fund raising campaign going for Ham radio spectrum protection.
It’s pretty bad when the people have to protect themselves from their own government.
Amateur radio is a valuable asset no matter how you look at it. Many Hams were the pioneers of Cellular, trunking...
We'll I've read up on the Hamstick dipole, In brief they do work ok for the 17 meter band up to 6 meters actually the 10 & 6 meter version would resemble a extended zepp as long as both whips are insulated from the mast. For 75/80 meters their nothing like a full size 1/2 wave dipole. The only...

I worked on the antennas this weekend, I ended up taking down the second 2mtr yagi and moving the lower one 48" away from the Pro. I know I lost some gain on 2mtrs but the 10mtr swr problem with the Pro went away. I need to extend the mast before I can stack the 2mtr yagis again. I may...
Maybe if I feed them with ballanced feedline and use a tuner. I wonder if Hamstick has a good return policy :?: Then if they don't work I can give em back. Just like at Wal-Mart :twisted:
Top performance on SSB
4 to 8 element Yagi flatside about 40' and Jay's Ground plane up over Top.
Use a good RG-8 type Coax.
If they Don't hear you now then their ain't no conditions or your radio blew up...

Bill I've used Pvc before for Mobil antennas, I never did a 102" because the antenna flexes around too much. The ones I built were base loaded, the center conductor was 14g solid wire inside of 3/8 cpvc and I filled the cpvc with silicone to make it rigid. The sunlight does degrade the pvc it...
Has anyone tried a Hamstick dipole. I saw the mounts being sold on Ebay and was wondering about this.
How well do they work compared to a full 1/2 wave dipole.?
To save some space I was thinking about setting one up for 80 meters.

The bottom K1fo is about 30" from the Pro.
The H-Plane stacking distance is 84' so it looks like the best I can do is move the lower stack at least 42" away from the Pro.
The tower and the K1fo's will be in the plane of the Pro but thats the best I can do without building another tower...

The lower antenna is a Mosley Pro 67B 2 ele on 40 the upper antennas are 8 ele K1fo's spaced 84"
The Pro tuned in all bands except 10. 10 is tuning high starting at 28.8 - 2.1 to about 29.6 - 2.1 29.25 is about 1.2 The antenna should be tuning 10 about 28.4 to 28.8
Mosley wants...
I have two 23 channel base stations and I think they work better than any of the 40's I've ever had. I remember when the 40's came out and when the prices dropped out of everything, I was in the business also it was tough to make a buck on a radio but mostly everybody ignored the fact that the...
