Had a VC 300 on the shelf for years.. when I heard they went for $$ I put it on Bay and got 300ish for it a few years ago. I was shocked. It went to Texas. They do have a following for some weird reason?

Saw one on the bay a while back. I bought a new Mirage 2950 years ago from H&Y had it for a while and sold it to my buddy. It was like some of the others.. I should've held on to.. oh well

Been a minute since I put something up here but I've been going back to my roots lately. Makes me think of when I was a kid riding home from the tavern with my old man. He'd have the windows down.. cig in hand.. jamming on something just like this. Love me some Ray but Margie steals the...

Dude that's awesome

Looking for a good condition working non hacked up 2950 first generation. Doesn't have to be NOS but nothing drug behind a truck either. Preferably no opened clarifier or echo board. Thanks 73 Tony

If your goal it to talk local as far as possible I would put the beam up by itself and aim it in the direction you want vertically polarized since the majority of guys are running omni verticals anyway.. Just put up the imax or v58 on a pushup pole for monitoring..

Got a fair amount of time Sunday in the chair. 6 was open pretty much all day and voice contacts were easy. Worked a rover in Iowa that gave me some new grids on 222/432. Picked up several new grids on 6 in the DM region. I didn't top last years score of 30 k but closed out with 28,548. Not too...

04:42 utc.. turning in for the night. Will try to hit it again in the morning.. will need coffee to offset Miller products.. all in all not bad so far. Run into most of the usual suspects. Had some nice band runs. Grabbed a couple new grids on 432.. one new one 222 and one on 2 I needed in...

We will play again. 6,2,222,432,1296 analog only low power category.

I worked K0VE in EM60 12:09 utc and KZ4RR 11:55 utc in EL99. Tony KG9AP

Well grabbed a couple grids in FL this morning on 145. Heard a couple stations off to the east but major QSB...didn't work them. Kinda wishing I had more horsepower and aluminum.... :unsure:

Just work 2 stations in NJ ssb. The first was 5/7.. second was 5/9. We exchanged reports and grids. By the time we got to names.. he was gone. Just barely readable in the noise. Here...then gone like you flipped a switch. Gotta love the magic band!

Worked LA, MS, AL, FL and Havana Cuba all ssb today. Finally had some time to play radio (not work)... drink a beer.. and play on 6

Due to work and family (baseball) I have limited amounts of time to play radio. I have been trying to get up on the weekends and turn on 6 meters .145. I seem to usually get things going to late and it's dying out (ssb) by the time I'm on. I run 100 w and 5 elements at 48 ft. Not a big station...

Buddy called me tonight and said he put talkback into a new Cobra 29. Said he put a resistor across the ext spk and pa on board worked fine. Then he decided to make it variable so he tied the rf gain pot wires together and ran 2 wires to it and back to where he took out his original talkback...

I have never run a vertical at less than 40 ft at the feed point. Last cycle I ran a A99 at 40 ft. Worked the world on ssb without much work. Usually ran around 400-500 watts but also did it with 100 or less from time to time. Usually I chased DX above 27.405. Always SSB... I'm in the Midwest...

Ran a few in the past with and without ground plane.. saw no real difference. My only advice would be to get it up as high as possible.. it will work fine for what it is...

My first SSB rig was a 122 (trc-465). Added an expo 120 kit for extra channels and opened the clarifier. Worked the world on that little rig.. with a 4 pill and an omni. I still have it on a shelf in the closet. I will never let it go...sentimental value.

Great to work you today. Conditions were up and down but when you were up you were in the red on my 2950 in the mobile. So the barefoot 980 and Antron works just fine. 73 630 South central Illinois Tony
