Update to come saturday. Peace, Josh

Not much expense.. coax, and a bracket. All in the name of fun. Besides.. 1/2 an s unit is alot for less than $150. Peace, Josh

Good information freecell. Makes it very tempting to do, I'm gonna start collecting parts and testing in the next few weeks. What kind of gain can I expect on the receive side of things? Thanks, Josh

I understand.. I don't really mind being directional.. Before I had this setup I had a 102" whip off the back left corner of my camaro. I'd turn my 2x4 up and people would get 4 lbs on me 20 miles away.. turn the car around and I'd be hitting them with 9+. I'm usually parked when really throwing...

Yeah, ours is rated at 800 watts. We have been putting 1000 pep all year into it, and sometimes up to 1500.. and on a rare occasion up to 2000+. It'll probably have to come down soon, but this antenna has been a real soldier. I posted wondering if maybe it was just underrated.. Just FYI...

I have a 98 sonoma. I have 2 dual coil predator 10k's, both 22" shank's. One is currently mounted on the roof, another I just got. Would I benefit by mounting a 2nd antenna on a bracket on the center of my tailgate (if I could make it work)? Thanks, Josh

How many watts do you put into your starduster? Right now my dad has been putting 1500 into his w/ his 2x6, and he's about to put his 2x8 on the base. We have ran the 2x8 on the base for short periods, and it seemed to do fine.. he's been running at least 1000 on it ever since it went up. He...

Yeah.. I've had about 7 of them now, and none of them had the fan come unless drawing a load, I will check into the new one I'm getting tomorrow. 2x8 ran with 2 iota's and one 800 cca deep cycle battery in the house for a test, and it'd last about 15 seconds before major voltage drop (too...

I believe I talked to you 390 the other day.. I'm 346.. could be another one though, but he was also in texas. peace, Josh Distortion aka. Straightjacket

Drummerboy and 280 were boomin thursday night around atl. These guys were both out of texas.. Drummerboy had it locked down for most of an hour. Lots of contacts thursday night all the way up til midnight, but I Just forgot em all sept those 2.. lol. Peace, Josh

I can't even remember who all I talked to.. probably 20-30 folks.. but here's a few: 370 555 bullrider (forgot the #) 669 007 I forget the rest.. was great conditions tho.

So coil the coax towards the antenna side of the coax, or towards the radio side? I am actually doing an experiment thursday.. I am going to hook a di-pole up to a a rather large weather balloon (or 2), and build an inverted V frame to put the dipole in, and I'm going to slowly raise the...

I am about to do some testing thursday with my dipole at very large heights. I am curious at what point will there cease to be any gains in the antenna that I have. I am planning on putting this thing up at least 50 feet up. I am curious as to how height effects a dipole? Does it give any...

Thanks for the reply. This amp has been kept in good operational condition for quite some time now. My dad used it a few months, then my uncle, then my uncle traded it back to my dad for a larger box in trade. Then I traded my dad a 2 pill driver for it, just to play with it. I have about $125...

Just bought one of these in good working condition that is extremely clean.. probably a 9/10.. it does about 100 swinging 250-ish watts-wise. This thing is cleaner than the elkin I sold on ebay. I did some trading around and got it out of my dad, and I'm thinking about selling it... What is...

http://forum.worldwidedx.com/viewtopic.php?t=11844 There's a topic I had. If you want to see one in action come over to boogie woogie's some time, or just go ahead and do the trade and see how it works.. 1x2 is probably the most it'll run. 667V would only do 450-500 watts without a...

Just an update, I love these things. I ran a 2x4 off just one with a battery and was doing a 800-900 peak watts with no signs of too much draw. I have 3 of them right now, and I'm putting a 2x8 on them tomorrow and giving it a whirl. The Starduster ain't going to like that too much ;)...

I have them wired in parallel.. hot/hot, ground/ground.. should be doing 14.x volts at 110amps, but I know there are some losses when combining. Out of curiosity, does anybody know how to mod the voltage up to 15+ on these things? I've heard you can do it. Thanks, Josh

Thanks for the replies. They came in and I currently have 2 wired up to a 4 pill 2879's, and it really doesn't seem to bother it.. fans don't even come on. Don't know if that's just because I'm not talking long enough to get them hot or what. Works well. Do you think a deep cycle battery...

any updates? Josh
