Price to be announced=expensive. Cool idea though. Rich

Chevy did not sell the Duramax until the 2001 model year. Rich

1 if by land and 2 if by sea. The original digital mode. Uh oh, forgot about smoke signals. Rich

The fact that you have a low VSWR spot out of the designed bandwidth of the antenna only means that your transmitter will be happy. It is very likely that you will have no gain, or negative gain, in the desired direction. BTDT Rich

No missprint. The specs are for the FT-1802E, which is the Euopean version. Rich

The code test is receive only, no sending. Rich

A circle encloses the maximum area, with the minimum outside dimension and a sphere encloses the maximum volume, with the minimum of outside area. So, for skin effect, flat is better. Rich Edited for spelling

The Indians also believed that you could not "own" land. Therefore, I have the right to thump you on the head and take your house. Provided that you don't thump me first and harder. It was a way of life with them. Oh yeah, they lost. Rich

There is also, a mod for the phpBB forums that does this, automatically. Very easy to install and works great. Rich

That's a muffin fan, not a breaker. Rich

Eh? What's that you say, sonny?

You betcha. I couldn't wait for the latest catalogs to arrive. Between Allied, Lafayette, Heathkit and Olsen, I had more than enough reading material to drool over. By the way, Allied is still around Here and so is Lafayette Here Rich

Techs with endorsment (Old Tech Plus) do not have 10 meter FM privileges, so can not be control operators for that subband. Rich

The problem that you have is, the spacing needed for stacking. Ideally, you need to have the antennas one wavelength apart (~36ft). To accomplish this, you will need to use at least a 75ft tower and rotate the tower. a lot of work and money for <6db of gain. Rich

If he is interested in learning the code, you would be correct. However, most new hams just want to get on the air and look at the code as an antiquated obstacle. Back in the days when I went up for General, this would not have worked, as 13 WPM were required. By the time I moved up to Extra...

Knowing the letters is not the same as knowing the code. You can memorize the individual characters A(.|), B(|...), etc. very easily. It is just when they are being sent that your brain has to translate them and then you have to write them as letters, that creates the problem. By not...
