    multiband base choices...

    Hello, another vote for for the FT847 here. I have two IC706Mk2G's also, one mobile and the other a backup in the shack. Both good radios. All the other rigs mentioned are very nice also.. A friend of mine has the TS2000 and he has had a few issues, but I think it's an awesome rig when I...

    How to get reliable 60 miles direct. 2 or 10

    Basicly, yes. but a yagi or two will far outshine that.. More than just your home station is important here too.. About the best you can hope for on your mobile setup for 10 meters is a quarter wave antenna. A very poor antenna for ground wave (which is the type of prop you will be using...

    How to get reliable 60 miles direct. 2 or 10

    Hello, hope I can help a little with your decision between 10 and 2 meters, I think it's an easy one. I'v operated on ten meters for over 25 yrs and it is a favorite band of mine. Over the years I'v used a 5/8wave vertical @ 80ft, a 5 element mono at 70ft and a tribander..Its a fun band for...

    Suggestions for first HF antenna

    I agree with the other guys posting here, get the antenna up into a cleaner surroundings. Looks like the one side was coupling with your aluminum seemless gutter (guessing) presenting an off-center load... Lots of common mode currents

    LESCOMM BOARD

    Installing these boards disables the ANL and NB?? One thing I don't like about most of these boards is they come with a 10kc up switch.. A 5 kc up switch would be way more usable for me (with a +/- 3kc opened clarifier)

    Yaesu FT-847 refresh

    Couldn't agree more with you guys..The 847 is an awesome rig. Bought mine new in the early 2000's..Have INRAD crystal filters installed. The new offerings seem like plastic toys compaired to the 847 Keith
