Some good information,thanks. I had no idea about repeaters. Cell service is pretty spotty along hwy 70 in sw Ok. Ham would be great if there was a repeater in this area. Any good sites where one can learn more about Ham Radio? I found a couple but their information links were dead.

Why should a person get a ham license? Not being smart,I am just curious. My kids,wife,and I have all had export radios and communicate on quiet channels just for the fun of it. Just wonder how we would benefit by getting our tickets.

Probably,but it would be a big hassle for someone who does not know what they are doing. I might just try it though.

It turned out the M-4 and PDL-2 had been out in the weather way too long. Searching again... Thanks for all the replies.

Yes Oklahoma,and I am on top of a bald hill so we get that wind. I am going to get a little better tower and guy it out. I was talking to a gentleman today and he said I need a tower no taller than 40' for a beam as the first wavelength is at 36' I guess that makes sense.

Converted?

I have thought about Maco because of the parts. Thanks

Thanks for the welcome. The PDL and 4 are both quite old but in good condition. It seems the PDL-II might work with a regular tv rotor so I was leaning that way but will take you folks advice.

I have never had a beam and am thinking of buying a PDL-2 or Moonraker 4. Is the Moonraker really that much better than the PDL? My objective it to talk 60 miles,station to station. Attached is a picture of my tower.It is 40' I think or a tad less.Is this tall enough for a beam to work...
