Hey Peter, I built one of these antennas about a year ago and works awsome. I can hit any of the repeaters in the area with no problem. 30+ miles easy. It is a copy of an arrow j-pole. take a look it was a fun build and cost only about 25$ in material. Here's the link: J Pole Antenna ...

Ok Doc, here is the way to do it. It takes several steps but the final product is great. You need to create the map tiles. To do this you need a map program and a tool built into windows. Once the tiles are created and loaded into AGWTracker they need to be calibrated. Once that is done you...

I have just started using a different program called AGWTracker and I really like it so far. Here is the link: AGWTracker . It is simple to setup and you can use your own maps if you want. I think that it is similar it UI-view but better. Best of all it's free to use indefinitely. Take a...

Hey Moleculo, I have been a member on this forum for a year and have to say that it is the best resource for ham radio and related content on the net. It is great that you and the other moderators have taken your spare time to help the hobby grow. This site is invaluable to both the new and...

I use HRD now and it is a great suite of programs. I think that you may be confusing Echolink or CQ100 with Ham Radio Deluxe. Echolink and CQ100 both use VOIP to transmit signals any distance. For the ham radio operator who dosen't have a HF rig and setup. You can connect to Echolink using...

One question. Does the FTM-350 crossband repeat fron the left to right side or from right to left? thought I would ask. I haven't tried it yet. Thanks

Can I run the ladder line into the garage and then connect it to a 1:1 current balun and connect that to RG-213 coax to run the last 18' through the walls? By doing that how much would it improve the losses? Is it worth it to do? The route that the cable has bto run is right beside my HVAC...

Can I run ladder line up against the wall and also in close proximity to some vent ducts (aprox. 6-8')?

In the second last post of your "Coil Loaded Dipole Build" thread you say that you would not try to tune 10m and 20m with coax, why? That was what I was considering doing. What would you suggest? I have to run the cable down through my garage into the basement. Really, why would I need...

I will definitely build something for the attic but now comes the loaded question. Where can I find a good set of instructions for an antenna? About how long will a set of 80m coils add to the total length? I know that a 40m dipole is about 67'. Any suggestions are appreciated.

The high peak is in a U shape with the lengths at 25', 27' and 20'. I do have easy access to my attic. The only metal that I have in the attic is a custom built stainless steel vent duct for my kitchen gas cook top. It is about 12' from the peak away from where the peak runs. My shack is in...

I am thinking of getting a BUXCOMM ATTIC-ANT to put up in my attic. it's a 67' dipole. To put it in my attic I will have to zig-zag it around a bit. Does anyone have and experience with this antenna or is there a better option out there? The attic and my balcony are my only options for...

No backyard, no trees. :sad: In the spring I think I will put a dipole in my attic. I think that will be my best option. I just want to make my little antenna work. I guess that I will have to be happy with 20M PSK31 until I get a better antenna. At least the TAK-tenna works ok on that band.

Oh how I'd like to move to the country and have a real antenna. :tt2: I live in a HOA and no antennas allowed except on my balacony or indoors. :sad:

I have a question about signal-to-noise ratio on my ICOM 746 Pro. Specifically it relates to the 40 m band. Right now my antenna that I am using is a 10-40m TAK-tenna multiband antenna. I have it tuned to 7.2 MHz with an SWR of 1.2:1. The problem that I'm having is that I am getting a signal...

I have the VX-8DR with the GPS which is an awsome radio. Definitely get the programming software. It makes editing and deleting memories a breeze. Rt Systems: RT Systems Radio Programming Software or G4HFQ FTBVX8: G4HFQ Software - FTBVX8, FTBVX8J and FTBVX8G Details

I know what you mean but whatever works. :biggrin:

Check this one out. I have a friend that says that it is a huge setup up from the Wouxun mic. Best of all it is only $8. I am ordering this mic to go with a Wouxun KG-UVD1P. Hope this helps. Here is a link: PTT Speaker mic Kenwood Wouxun Puxing Linton radio on eBay.ca (item 220686608208...

Ouch:scared: You said that you wanted something that would work, not what it should cost:tt2:. It would be totally cool to have a setup like it though.
