love pointing the beam that way and talking to those guys on SSB.. Haven't done it for awhile ,seen your post, might have to do that today.

If I'm not mistaking, I think Marconi might have asked me about the 259b being outa whack, but I overlooked it

yeah the quality is next to none, but what really gets me is how the TX part of it is almost 1 1/2 S unit over the v5000...Just kinda wished the RX end was like that, almost think the v5000 has a slight better RX..Gotta be a trade off somewhere I guess. But really happy with it now that I found...

Well it's up and running.Let me start by saying, My mfj259 was apparently on vacation the many times I tried to fine tune the Zero 5 antenna, it was way off and giving me the dumbest readings, almost to the point of me picking up the bottle again..So with that said, a buddy of mine had the same...

Well I went ahead and took it down, like you said" needed some fresh air.I'll try it again, The only thing that was really bugging me was the wire tap, was told not to touch it as it was set and to leave it alone, but going buy my reading something was off, so for 4 days I was adjusting the...

ok going back to the Maco v5000, wasted over $300 for this antenna, just cant get it tuned where it needs to be

ok guys I think those readings on the Mfj259 are good, reading alot of info on how it works and seems I got it where it should be. I think one could read to much into these analyzers( Like Myself) and go completely nuts..

ok been about a week the weather has been good the last 2 days. I got it tuned about 1.1-1.2 swr up until about the high end of the band which is 1.4....I'm ok with that might need to adjust the length lower, but on the readings of the mfj 259...My R=70-80, and X=0 thru the whole band...like I...

look on ebay, there's some good starter rigs for HF.Seen some really nice TS 430'S and 440's from kenwood.

yeah doing at the feedpoint, what jumper length is ok to use?

Ok the misque was the operator, I'll get back up and retune it, I took it out of tune getting to impatient, but I did notice something really weird, I went ahead and transmitted on it with 40 watts, now a guy about 10 miles from me compared the Maco v5000 and the Zero5, on the Zero5 I hit with a...

Yeah I contacted yesterday.He said he'll help me out.The antenna comes marked so all you do is put it together, but yeah no instructions on what you need to do to to get it fined tuned, 3 things you can tune on it. 1 the length of antenna 2 wire tap and 3 the capacitor..and I'm lost with what to...

ok tomorrow gotta get back up and tune, think i got to unscrew happy and detuned it..Hey Marconi, my readings are CH.1=1.2 R=42 X=5..........CH.20=1.2 R=50 X=11........CH.40=1.5 R=44 X=18.....and yes you was right, just the slightest touch to the what i call a gamma and it goes way off.. i might...

yeah always go to battery, btw let us know how you like your 2950dx.Had a 2970dx about 12 years ago and for all the wrong reasons let it go, but just ordered the 2970N4 so really excited to see how it does

Not sure what I just watched but I think I might get blackout drunk for putting myself thru this..I could've turned it off but I didn't, so the only person I have to blame is myself

Haven't seen a review on this antenna yet.Ordered one about a week ago and just got it so really quick shipping for an antenna that's made to order, so i open the box and first thought was holy shit! It didn't come with instructions so I think it pre marked for 11 meters, but just looking at the...

Throwing my tower up around the 1st of march, be back to post afterwards

own 3 galaxy 2517's and all are on frequency, good tech and just like 2517's for some reason

all the good techs from the early days have much faded out, still a handfull around but that's it....When I see a 959 for $450, I think how in the world did this hobby get so outa control
