On HF i have a dipole at 30 feet, a Gap Titan DX veticle that i just took down, and a cuschcraft MA5B at 35ish feet. I would never trade my beam in, however small and "mini" it may be, it plain works and gets out, for the lower bands i use a dipole, and i did use the vertical, the only...

Hmm.. it has .2DB more loss than lmr 400 at 50 mhz.. it is flexible tho, i dont really need that, but then again is .2b ever going to be noticed in the real world Just got off the phone with them, ive used CNT 400 before, and they claim its the same as LMR 400, which i agree with, going to get...

Ive read the complaints about the wait, he was upfront with me, and im fine with that, he worked with me in areas i needed, and i will gladly support a smaller company with a quality product over a larger cooperation. if i use an amp, i think i will buy a second larcan like i have, for a pre...

Purchased a 2 meter 11 element golf alpha tonight, quite happy about it :)

Only 40 is open for me and a little on 20 been calling on 50.110 for a while now hoping for activity

Im listening beaming North

Just got off the phone with Gulf Alpha safe to say he has me sold. will be purchasing one of his antennas.

Which pre amp would you reccomend? this VHF stuff is new to me

Any more info on that yagi? the QRZ link is not very in depth

SSB isnt the issue i have radios to do it, I knew FM was a crap shoot, and im not going to polarize it for FM seeing as it really isnt going to happen, ill try SSB, just a big investment for little use, i guess HF is almost "to easy" if that makes sense. Anyone here have any antenna...

So i need advice, Ive had very good results from my QTH on 6m SSB, well over 1000+ miles easily. Now here comes my qesution, seeing as ive had good results there, im intersted in 2m DX. we have ZERO local activity. i am putting up a new 6m (6m7jhv) and i was looking at the m2 2m12...

Hahaha, i guess it was a 50/50 either way it wasn't worth it

The original reason i chose 6db for the roughly 75% reduction was the fact that i dont believe my 847 gives me a full 100 watts on 6m, so a little headroom would be nice. But i have read people have had issues with their transceivers emitting DC at key up (specifically the 847 was mentioned)...

Yup thats the one there i was speaking about I have a further question, dont know if anyone is versed on it i calculated a 6db attnator would bring down my 100 watt output to a max of 15 for the amp input, just incase i ever forget to turn the power down. well after running the math, i...

If you search, someone documented how to use a half inch coppr fitting and a few other things for an adapter, but its rather pointless as its alot more loss and things to go wrong when you can just swap it out

Thanks for all the updates and pictures, i doubled confirmed that other uses of the larcan have broken the bias this way also. Thanks Warren i saw your email a while ago, also thos HP PS's that people are using for the harriss amps its under 30 bucks on ebay, quite a steal, for the input and...

Sound great, i agree, that was my whole point for heat dissipation, i just put another section on my rohn 25 tonight, and changed out my coax feeding my HF beam, now i have an intermittent extremely high swr, i think its in the rg213 jumper i used to go to the beam, as lmr400 was too stiff. My...

correction radio is FT-847 and here is a pic of the bias board Uploaded with ImageShack.us http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/2600/larcanbias.jpg
