    FREQUENCY AND TIME FOR CONTACTS

    Had a blast on 10 today. Tons of activity from all over here in the Midwest. Nice to just spin the vfo and hear countless stations.

    Wasn't 2525 in Washington state? He ran a big beam?? Or am I thinking of a different guy?

    GMRS antenna question

    If your not dead set on mounting an omnidirectional vertical on a separate mast or stand off on your current tower you could consider a beam. A rear of boom mount yagi mounted to your mast below your Vquad could be an option. This would also give you the advantages of directivity and superior gain.

    WANTED MOBILE $1,000W Export$ +-

    Due to heat and stability issues, I would stay clear of the radio w amp section built in stuff. I would go with a radio and separate amplifier. It might be more of a hassle to move from mobile to shack but I think it's worth the effort. Look into quick disconnects for your power leads...

    Magnetic Antenna Question

    Grounding a mag mount is a waste of time. If your headliner is out.. pop a hole in the roof.. good permanent mount.. quality antenna. Enjoy.

    My Kind Of Women.....

    More times than not..Unfortunately.. when these things happen the media fails to report them. Guess it might not fit into the agenda. I will now take off my tin foil hat and climb back under my rock. 73

    Me and the FCC

    I missed this detail when reading the original post. Scratch my theory on the grow lights.. those would definitely be going on and off periodically.

    Me and the FCC

    Just going out on a limb here but... could the cameras be up to monitor the property and could be security for a grow operation? Grow lights have a long history of giving off tons of RF noise.. this is all speculation on my part. Best of luck on a resolution to your problem.

    ARRL September VHF Contest

    No major time dedicated to this contest.. busy weekend at home. Still managed 47 Qs. With my mults had 2,474 total points. Low power class, Analog only. Picked up a new grid in TN on 432.

    ANYONE ELSE QUESTION WHY YOU KEEP WATCHING A FAVORITE TEAM?

    Nice looking hat! I was brought up in a steelers house. My dad proudly wore a coat with the 4 super bowl wins 75,76,79,80 on the back. He preached the gospel of the "steel curtain". He used to say "son, that's the working mans team!" He passed in 99 when I was 17 but it still resonates in my...
