Congrats :thumbup1: Colorado springs in a beautiful place. I have an uncle that lives there. I go every chance I get to, hunting or visit. What is the freq. for the local repeater? I'll get on it next time i'm in town.

I agree with the rest. Looks like a great antenna for its purpose, but if you are only gonna use it on 11 get a maco.:thumbup1:

My 811h has been a great little amp, I usually cruse at 5-600 watts. Congrats.

Band was long last night. I had a tuff time checking in to the state net. Will be on tonite if everything goes as planned.:unsure:

Try it and let us know how it works

Had the 100 watt 3500 a few years ago......Hands down my favorite mobile. With the rite tuneup it does great. wish I still had it

Sounds like you are splitting between a and b vfo

I'll try to get on tonite, the signals are good til around 7 pm then the band gets short.

Listened for a short while. Who was raising hell about Bret Farv?

I've been working so much I havent even turned my stuff on in a few weeks.:blushing: I did manage to listen on 75 for a few minutes til my eyes started to bed without me.

I'll try to make it til 9pm......I have to get up at 3am to get ready for work, but it might be doable. kg4jcy.

Using hamtest also for my extra. I am curently scoring in the 60's :blushing: but atleast I'm consistant.:tt2:

Too many variables. tell us how/where you plan to use it, what you expect.:thumbup1:

Yes , there are hams that live for this stuff. Fox hunting was very popular in my area til fuel got so high. Look at it this way. If the person is qrm'ing a repeater and it has a 80 mile coverage. There is probably atleast a dozen people with directional antennas that know close to where you...

I will agree the shooting star is more user friendly.

When you take your tech. go ahead and try the general, it will give you an idea of some of the questions. I have an icom 706mIIg, great little rig. Mobile hf wasnt my thing so I put it back in the house for a dedicated 6meter rig and back up hf/vhf.

Yes some hams are that anal. Probably the same ones that troll ebay and police the 4 sale section.

Dam good idea!:thumbup:

I pulled up your call and your farther out than I thought, probably gonna take a GOOD band opening. I'm good to p/cola and ft/walton on repeaters but thats about it.

Get an icom 706 and have it all..............and hf for when you upgrade to general.
