I've installed nearly 100 1/4 wave whips in my time and always, always used the ball and spring mount for 108" NEVER had to modify the length of any of them and the absolute WORST SWR I have even had on an installation was 1.5:1. And that was because the antenna was mounted on a truck directly...

If you haven't noticed, we do it here. WDX-945 here!

Gregg at WeElectronics in Florida, the Stryker service center, has just closed up his retail shop. He will remain a Stryker service center and warranty shop, and will have a few, hand-selected customers. His walk-ins are done and he's selling out tons of unclaimed and repaired radios and amps...

I know someone with a repairable dx-250. His radio decided to put a 16W carrier on SSB and let the magic smoke out. He clipped the power wires off and shelved it. If you're interested I'll see what he's going to do with it.

I got her going full bore right now. Going to yell at you

I'm on right now, made a few contacts to the east of me. New jersey, new york, pennsylvania, etc. But I'm bouncing between 36 and 40, with an occasional 16 if anyone's on.

You sounded good with the strange conditions we have up here. Thanks for the qso!

I normally have a steady 4 to 5 S units of noise here. Makes it rough to pull people out from that.

Great QSO, 316! Conditions were truly ugly up here with all 4 directions coming through. You got a good sounding rig!!

The skip this evening was incredible!! Short and long skip all together. I talked to the East Coast, South, Canada, and short skip for me into Illinois, Indiana, and even Detroit!

I have a response in regards to CB radio lounge, but the language involved is not appropriate for this website.

There is some truth to that, but not much. I believe the vast majority of the big splattering stations come from cbs, not hams. I could be wrong, and if somebody knows the truth about it, please correct me.

Happy Father's Day, folks!! My eldest is 50 this year! My middle guy is 46 and my youngest is 38!

I have a different way to go about setting these things up, but I don't recommend my method for someone who hasn't done it before. I always set these up just so they're at the point of being maxed out with everything wide open so I have the ability to control everything from the front panel...

You'll have to check a schematic to see any differences in the A and B versions. I've set up and run all three versions, and I've found that V2 A and B to be identical in performance and software features. I would strongly suggest staying out of the service menu unless you're familiar with what...

I'll be trying throughout the day

They lasted 6 months in my 955 and I never pushed them past 35 pep.

I'll bet you didn't need Ex-Lax after downing a few of those Blue Ribbons!

Conditions are terrible here. I tried for about an hour between 38 and 16. I did manage to talk to Jamaica once on 38, but otherwise it was a bust.

I'm going to fire up in about 20 minutes. I'll be yelling on the high 30s and on 16
