    Walmart's are going cashless!

    Most folks up here in the Holler use cash. They don't trust the card, and what information is circulated. I try not to buy gun related stuff with the plastic. Buy a case of ammo with plastic? Horror of horrors!

    ALC Use

    This is also what I've been told. I'm diggin my 811H. Unbelievable how it gets through a pile up, and I'm really not using it to its full potential. 400-500 watts makes a huge difference. I haven't tried it on CW yet. Sure glad I bought this amp. Happy, happy, happy.

    ALC Use

    It's a joke Brother. Because there are so many of them out there. Not rare, quite the opposite. Savvy?

    ALC Use

    I've been tuning with 70 watts in, then I operate between 40-60 watts in, with 400-650 watts out, and no ALC connection. Been working great. I just keep an eye on my alc meter. I also worked with KC9VKV to get the best audio one can expect with my IC 7300, and the reports I get are very good.

    Wire antennas ?

    I've got the same antenna I believe, and mines in an inverted V at 35ft. Ends are each 10 ft up. Friggen thing rocks 20m. Drop the ends down. Of course a cut wire for 20 would be best.

    Field Day 2020 Next Month

    I'm always kind of in Field day Ops. My radios run on batteries 100% of the time. The only component that's not is my Ameritron AL 811h. It runs on 120vac, and could be put on line using my honda generator. I respect all field day operators, and teams. Go field day. Have fun next month, and may...

    ALC Use

    Thank you for the info, that's pretty much what I thought. I know my 7300 will spike. I've seen it, but then again I usually only run the 7300 at 40% power. Maybe I should run it as a precaution like you have said groundwire. I'd like to hear from some owners of the 7300/al811h combination. I...

    ALC Use

    I've got a 811h I use with my very rare icom 7300 . I've been told by my old buddy not use the ALC cord. . I'm just wondering if this is sound advise. So far everything is working fine, and I keep the power under 600 watts usually. Not knowing anybody else to ask near me, hear I am. What's...
