Congratulations om! Working with the various modes is very rewarding. Hope to work you down the band.

Congrats Dutchman... Hope you enjoy the Hobby!

Hey Grogan, I don't own Baofeng or Wouxun models but know some who do. The $$ is a nice driver and is easily replaced if damaged/lost. I do own a VX-6R and an FT-60. Both work extremely well however for ARES events, I like to use the 6R because the Mic connection is a screw in connector...

It's always excitingto get cards from exotic places. Nice ones to add to your collection.

The Scratches can be unsightly and I am sure Chrome can exaggerate the look. My gear isn't chromed but wonder if the covers are shipped with a protective film that that can just stay in place... I have not used any Clear protective cover film on my gear but do keep the film on the faceplate...

Grogan, thanks for sharing the Matching options for this antenna... I made a nother copy since my original is hiding in the same pile as the other missing documentation I have been looking for :headbang. Some day my radio room will be organized...

I run a CLR-2 for the base and it works good @ 20'. I don't run power so can't speak to the handling capability and not sure how noisy it is compared with an Imax, but compared to my Ground mounted Hustler 4BTV the noise floor is similar. It is quite broad banded for SSB work. I run on 10/11m no...

Can you share what band received this on?

Welcome to the Hobby... When I am not at home, a pen and pad are what I use to log contacts. I will add specific details in my 'Notes or Other' column with in the logging probram when I enter them in. I like to call out specifics about the contact like 'I-80 Mobile or from a vacation spot and...

I apologize but I haven’t figured out how to insert the Quotes box. Following up to Marconi's request...(DXbarefoot, if both the CLR-2 and the 4BTV are close to the same heights, could you tell us how TX/RX signals compare for the CB frequencies with local contacts? If not, would it be too...

Are you looking to purchase or build? Not to give a canned answer but they both will work well...it just depends on what you are comparing it to. I'm sure other will chime in and share their experiences. You may already have the components on hand...the Dipole is easy to build and you can...

I have used the LDG AT-11MP tied to my Alinco DX70th for over 15 yrs. It has worked flawlessly for wire, verticals and even tuned the metal roof at our Field Day site a few years ago.

The extra warranty is hard to beat for the minimal cost difference...

Gigaparts has the IC718 for $609. I like the simplicity of the 718, wish my IC-730 had DSP!

Congrats and welcome to the ranks...Hope you find hours of enjoyment in this wonderfull hobbie.

Nice setup - the quad is icing on the cake. I have a 101B and enjoy working HF DX with it. Nice old radios!

Welcome to the forum Joe...Hope to work you down the log. Merry Christmas everyone!

I second GIJoes... I purchased my 2950dx in the late 90's and it's still going strong. My e-chip was installed when I received the pkg. I have made purchases thru them since and have been pleasaed with their service.

Thanks all for the input, it's much appreciated!
