    11-Meter Renaissance??

    Hello group, Been out of the 11-meter loop for 10+ years, and now just getting back into it. Seems like a lot of folks that left 11-meters years ago, are now getting back in. QSO's and 11-meter traffic seems to allude to my observations. Is this accurate? Or has 11-meters kept it strength...

    What year and why did you get into the Radio Hobby?

    1975 (high-school). Best buddy's Mom was a Ham. I was so intrigued with the gear and her DX log. It just amazed me how she could talk around the world from her den. The gear was just so handsome. Hooked ever since.

    "New" President Washington consensus?

    Thank you all for the comments and recommendations. I love my 1st. Gen. Lincoln. Too bad President thought the Lincoln II could take the Gen 1's place as a viable successor... Not really "needing" another rig at the moment. Just thought the Washington would take it's place one day...

    Best slug for 300-800 watts

    Yeah, I already had 1000W slug just needed the 500. Got it from Martin RF for $225. And yes, the slug prices have gone way way up. Getting back into the hobby has become very expensive. Sold all my gear 15 years ago. I had everything, line sections, bird meters, slugs, rigs, jumpers, and...

    Best slug for 300-800 watts

    Hello group, What element would best cover a range of 300-800 watts? 1000W slug overkill? Thank you!

    Tokyo Hy-Power AM operation

    Nope! This is a keeper! Been wanting this amp for a long time, and finally had the chance to purchase one in like-new condition earlier this year. Love the THP line.

    Tokyo Hy-Power AM operation

    Yep, 11-meters. I thought that might be the issue. Not going to mess around with this beautiful THP amp. Works flawlessly on in-band SSB. I have an "out of band" amp on the way, so not a big deal. Thank you very much for the clarification!

    Tokyo Hy-Power AM operation

    Hello, Is there a procedure to operate/excite the THP HL-1.2Kfx amp on AM? If I set drive to <10 watts, there's really no increase in output, but if I increase drive to about 15 watts, the amp goes into overdrive mode. I followed the manuals instructions by decreasing input drive to 30% but...
