    Club QSL cards

    Much like Robb's, but with the bg colour carried over to the rest of the card.. a custom QSO info section could easily be done as well (see second attachment if this all works...last time i couldn't attach images) best thing IMO for the special call would be to match the WWRF font...actually...

    Anyone here like lobsters?

    love lobster CK last time i had them was about 3 years ago when the (now ex)-wife and i stayed just outside Dartmouth for a vacation...weird thing, the folks we stayed with didn't have a clue how to cook them lol then i think we paid around $6/lb. Not sure what they go for up this way, but...

    West Coast/California DX contacts today . . .

    Whisky Delta-40 Thanx for the contact and feedback on the new radio sorry the qso left much to be desired, will have to get the rx side of things figured out on my end I'd have shouted back but I heard you get into another qso and then the bottom dropped out of the signal. Again, appreciate the...

    Tower's up...

    Hopefully tomorrow will be calmer... :) I checked the coax before the initial install Robb but I'll def. check it again when I do the choke. I'm sure worse things have happened during an install. The choke may not fix the other problem completely but i don't think it can hurt to add one. I...

    Tower's up...

    so for the heck of it i attached the 259B today cuz i was getting some rx surging on the 2995. the winds are up but no where near crazy and damn.....i'm watching this a99 bounce from a nice 1.3 up to 3.7? i could understand that if it was right bent over, but it's only doing about a 5° bend on...

    Tower's up...

    555...i definitely hears ya on that one :) soon as the cash or time comes available i'm on that like bees on honey the choke is an easy fix to try, isolating from the mast will have to wait until spring, it got a lot colder and whiter here the past couple of days :) thanx fx and mack

    picking up am radio

    depends on the freq range i run but sometimes ya. >.405 if im just shooting after a call i'll use 265 until i'm asked for my full cs. There's another 265 that has popped up about 100 mi. from me as well so it helps differentiate. It's not like i'm using ##seperation##LL###seperation### :)...

    Tower's up...

    hmmmmm..i do have power in the garage and the coax should reach too. No where near the wiring issues out there that might possibly be messing with me here. Lil Wil gives me the same result with radios still located in my shack, so i'm pretty sure i can eliminate antenna/tower/coax. Will...

    Tower's up...

    555, it's the vert for now but eventually i'd love to get a beam up once i build or buy one :) Have a nice plan sitting here for a 3 element lfa Robb..neither the 85 or 95 have a 12v connection. Both are reacting the same. The truck (257hp) doesn't generate anywhere hear the same noise level...

    Tower's up...

    hookedon6 gave that a shot and although greatly reduced (0 on the meter w/RFgain full up) it's definitely still there. Will try disabling my wifi see if that affects things. I don't have anything turned on except the wifi and the fridge. i did have all the electrical done when i bought the...

    Tower's up...

    much thanks for the replies guys :) i didn't even think about grounding the equipment...duh, where was my brain. I'll run a stretch of 8ga. through the wall when i do the coax. I'm waiting to get the arrestor box set up before doing that to save on cutting coax multiple times. Very possibly...

    Tower's up...

    so i finally got the tower up New Years Eve day...and survived it :) A99 w/gpk on question regarding a coaxchoke...will it reduce the noise level at the radio? both bases just seem a lot noisier than the mobile. Seems much harder to decipher voices...or are the rci radios just naturally...

    variance in swr readings

    comments appreciated as always Gents :) i think it's about the best i'll get on a single stinger.. i might chop another little bit off to pull my "gooder" readings into my more used freq. range (very rarely use the 1-40 zone and no 28k in my near future) and grab the 66" whip for the bottom...
