It appears I have abandoned this project, but have no fear I was only taking a quick break. Will be ordering a mast for my antenna hopefully this week, and will be able to knock out this project. I ended up opening up the FT891 so the CB bands are available on it as well. Stay tuned!

I'm slowly but surely working on setting up my base. Going to be ordering a mast for my antenna hopefully this week! Def ready to get back onto the air. After I had the issue with my connector on my coax in my truck and wasn't able to get everything back right, I took a break for a bit. But now...

Just got my Tecsun PL880 today. I have to say I am enjoying this radio so far. It's pretty much straight forward. Still learning everything with shortwave as I am a complete newbie. Would anyone happen to have a list of nets and freq they would be willing to share?

Thanks for the share! Going to have to get one for my bench now!

Unfortunately we are at a budget cut so everything that's not a day to day use is on hold

Thanks for reminding me, I will have to make the drive down and check it out!

I have always had the radio bug. Then April 2011 I realized how important emergency communications was when my town was hit by a tornado. At that time, I was just a volunteer firefighter and we had lost all of our communications. Ever since that day, I have been big into emergency...

I have wanted to get my ham license for a while now. I have 3 HF rigs and a couple 2m / 70cm dual band mobiles along with HTs. Just never have had the time to continue studying and be able to take the test.

It may have been Saturday afternoon. I honestly can't remember. Been picking up a few hours at my part time job and logged 17 hours Saturday night. Working all these hours has shot my memory. Will have to try to link up with you one of these days on the airwaves. I go by 111 Tennessee on both AM...

Does anyone have any suggestions for a base antenna for a rental house? Unfortunately since I am renting and hope to buy some land and build within the next 1 to 2 years I can't do a tower. Was thinking I could use my dog kennel to mount to possibly? Any help is greatly appreciated as I am a...
