I usually just crack d104s off min. Then slowly turn up mic gain on radio and watch watt meter. When power starts climbing from fan noise on amp I back it off a fuzz. Usually end up at 11 or 12:00 on radios when doing this.

I have a 14 tundra and I can't make myself put a radio in.

Maybe a maco ba1 or how about 4 sloper antennas. Be like a beam! Or two twin slopers.

I always buy astrons. Have a 35 and 70 amp regulated. But I must admit I have been running 100 watt and less radios with a ss-25 astron switching power supply for the last 5 years or so with 0 hash and 0 problems and 0 noise. Im going to put a small station in my rv and like the fact that its...

He lives across the river from me in Illinois. I have not been on the radio at night much lately but have not heard him in awhile. Always like to talk to him and hear a lot of cool old school radios. He goes by worm on the radio.

You may get little more noise on vertical but not night and day. If you have people near you on vertical running flat side will take their signal down some. allowing you to hear stations out in the distance. A lot of folks like running their single polarity horz but if I only had one to polarity...

No this is 838 Indiana. I live near enough to nashville that I've talked to him before. There are a few mr cleans in 200 miles of me. Thought about changing my handle but I've used this for a long time.

Yes a yagi vertical will out talk a omni local.

I did it twice! Maco. Going bigger than a five get you a little more gain but 5 is about the best bang for the buck. Going larger gets expensive. Got about 3 grand in my antenna system but I tried to do it right! If going 5 or less check out Delhi free standing towers. Great tower for the money.

Antenna is a maxi. Fat fingers got me.

You will love a dual polarity antenna and there is no need for a fiberglass mast. Go with carbon steel for the mast. May be overkill but I like overkill. Dual polarity is the only way to go in my opinion. Based on conditions one may work much better than the other for dx and local and on the...

Two or three element. Easy to put together and take apart a must. Bought a fifth wheel and wanting to build a small station of the road. May have to go yagi but would like to try something different.

Which big stick. Im in southern indiana. Down around mt vernon. I might take it Working on a station for fifth wheel.

Been pretty lame here as far as DX goes but did just talk to 801 and 308 in the west indies about 15 mins ago.

Any thing people get involved in be it at work,hobbies,dating, church,etc your going to have good people and bad people. Its called life. It does appear sometimes radio have a higher percentage of bad but thats why god made lots of frequencies I guess.

2WR838 here.

This would cost more but they do make some nice stuff. http://www.penningerradio.com/gallery.asp?id=3

I talked to him about 2 years ago just the one time. Havent heard him any more. He was only running 40 watts when we talked.

I talked to a guy in gearldton aus using a 10 element quad on a 80 ft boom 100 ft in the air. My longest contact was with him at about 15000 miles long path. Here it http://www.shackpix.com/main/details.php?image_id=1759is!
