    Gulf Alpha Dual Band SAT antenna

    I am selling my 1 yr old Gulf Alpha Dualband Satellite antenna. This antenna is 100% and does a great job for those looking to be able to make those satellite contacts from the comfort of your shack. It has a mounting plate with an extra set of holes for a fixed 15 degree mount if you dont have...

    Gulf Alpha Beams

    Ok so it was time to upgrade to the circular polarized beams for Satellite work. I ordered the 5 Element 2m and the 8 element 70cm. The build up was pretty easy, took about an hour and a half each to get them assembled. There are no instructions so you need to go by the pictures on the web site...

    Well if I had to do it all again I never would have sold my FT-847. With the 2000 I can only work 1 FM bird its unusable on the other two popular birds. Its a great radio and does a decent job on HF, even the TX audio is great with the software mod. Still no antenna's as of yet, that's a hell...

    Amplifier Madness

    Just thought I would make a post about power addiction. I hope some of you will share your experiences as well. I upgraded my license August 2010 to General and discovered the world of HF, as I was making contacts with 100 watts I ran into the problem of not being able to work all the...

    Yet another amp upgrade

    Now that you mention it I thought I saw some brand new Commanders a few weeks ago. Didnt pay much attention.. You dont know what his e-bay user name is do you ?? I'll have to keep tabs on him.. This one is a real cream puff, the price was about average $2200 but after selling my TL-922A and...

    Yet another amp upgrade

    I think this must be a sickness, or at least an obsession. I was at the Nearfest this weekend in Deerfield NH and I saw 3 beautiful Commander amps on a table. There was a 6M and a HF2500 then the Mac Daddy HF-3500. They all were in pristine condition and that HF-2500 kept calling my name all...

    More Station Changes

    Well some things never change, 3 weeks came and went with no word. I e-mailed Pete and he called me to let me know the antennas would ship this week. I am going to the Nearfest in Deerfield NH and want to take my Dual bander up there to sell but dont want to do it until the new antennas are...

    legal question, jamming

    Designed for Jamming, thats the key Phrase. None of my Amateur gear was designed for Jamming so that would be a tough one to prosecute. When you talk about Jamming there are way too many variables. Is the Jamming on Amateur Radio bands, is it a licensed or unlicensed station, just way too...

    Kenwood TS-2000 LED Upgrade

    I recently purchased a new Kenwood TS-2000 and wanted a different color and brighter display. I found that HamKitt has put together a nice little package that gives you everything you need to change the display over to a cool blue led display. I ordered the kit on line and received it in...

    About to get a TS-2000

    I am really starting to love this radio as well. I am all about the audio so I did the DSP mod software to it, then added some Behringer gear. I have the C-1 mic, Mic-2200 preamp, DSP-1124P EQ, and the W2IHY iBox to tie it into the radio. I have been getting Great audio reports on it. My Flex is...

    Time to upgrade again! I have really enjoyed my Gulf Alpha Easy SAT dual band antenna but its time for a pair of replacements. Called Pete at Gulf Alpha to get an idea on how back up he is and ended up ordering a 5 x 5 2 meter and a 8 x 8 70cm circular polarized beams. Pete said he is...

    spend my money!

    Seems like everyone has a beam and tower fetish:D I have a 135 foot OCF wire flat top at 25 feet and have worked over 40 countries and over 300 DX contacts. All since I upgraded to General last August. Personally I would add an amp to the set up, a good used 1k AL-80B will cost ya just under...

    TS-2000 and SAT Work

    I'll have to give the AM a try, the birdie is pretty bad. Luckily some of the bnew Satellites scheduled for launch wont be near that, wonder if Kenwood had anything to do with Frequency choices. Yes I think I got my doppler file straightened out, I had a mess but I think after some testing I...

    TS-2000 and SAT Work

    Well I sold my FT-847, somebody give me a kick please. I had a line on a nice Flex 5000 and that fell through so I opted to buy a brand new TS-2000. Got a decent deal from HRO Salem and then had to set everything up. I really like the TS-2000, I have always wanted one and dreamed about them...
