    Marconi's Gain Master vs. a correctly installed Starduster

    He doesnt have to lie the picture tells a 1000 words they are right in the near field of each other No magic numbers just interaction between antennas... :bored:

    Front Stakehole Antenna - what will give a decent SWR?

    I would try the 102' or the 7' firestick. the firestick doesnt look as gay as the 102" whip and it will outperform the 10k

    New antenna from Sirio Gain-Master

    I am willing to bet the 10k wouldnt win crap if I tested it vs a 1/4 wave. Where can you intall a 10k on a vehicle that it will outperform a 1/4 wave.

    Question for techs about keying a solid state amp with a key line...

    LOL exactly he is a product of the no code testing. If he knew so much about what Tom said he wouldnt have bought the amp.

    1.5 KW PEP Gain-Master Modification

    I think you touched on this earlier you could make that handle 10 kw but the rest of the system doesnt seem to work.

    Question for techs about keying a solid state amp with a key line...

    What Band do you plan on using the amp? "If the HLA 300 is anything like the HLA 150, here is what you can expect: RM HLA-150 test RM Italy clearly lies about the power rating. On SSB, the HLA 150 is only clean to about 100 watts, even though they claim it is a 300 watt PEP...

    What W8JI says about a 1/4 wave vs. 5/8 wave

    Can it out talk it? depends where you are trying to talk. a 1/4 wave would possibly work better close in where a correct fed 5/8 will work better on the horizon.

    What W8JI says about a 1/4 wave vs. 5/8 wave

    Doc I am not the only memeber of the forum perhaps you can explain it to the other members of the forum who will understand it better than I. How does a chain link fence provide a ground system under a ground mounted antenna. The floor is yours I am willing to learn.

    What W8JI says about a 1/4 wave vs. 5/8 wave

    Another lame brain post by Doc, he is mounting a vertical at just about ground level, he needs to put a ground system beneath the antenna to minimize ground losses. Can you explain how a vertical fence is gonna provide this? If it is cold out the worms will love your idea The antenna he is...

    What W8JI says about a 1/4 wave vs. 5/8 wave

    Ground mount it and put as many radials on the ground beneath it, Ideally you can use 14 guage wire about 32 of them or more in a spoke type fashion around the base of antenna connected to the ground of antenna or shield of coax. If you cant put the radials on neighbors property put as many as...

    Modified Vector 4000

    Not to break your balls or nothing but how much did you save by getting them unslit? the minimal cost isn't worth my time having to deburr and take the time to cut them as straight as they do. I spent probably 100x what you have with them never had a problem with anything in the order...
