    Mars Mod

    Thanks for answering my enquiry binrat. I was on Simon the Wizards site and I saw it mentioned. I figured it had to do with a frequency expansion or perhaps a power expansion. Fair play to you for clearing that up for me.

    ASTROPLANE best vertical antenna ever?

    Marconi, I have not put the astroplane up yet. I have been too busy this year to play radio due to family commitments. Hopefully I get some time in the future to do so. I'm glad that I found an Astroplane to buy albeit a copy of one. You can't beat the classics.

    That Halligan Tool looks deadly Slowmover. Its like something that would be used on a '' search and destroy " mission. Are the jaws at the end of the handle wire cutters or are they designed for other nefarious purposes?

    Technician HF

    Do phone privelages allow a technician class operator to use a mike to speak on those frequencies instead of using Morse code? I'm only asking out of curiosity as I'm not a Ham operator. Thanks
