I'd go with the Maco 5/8 all day long. These fishin poles are fine for what they are, but U/V attacks the glass, and you can expect one to deteriorate much quicker than the Maco. And from first-hand experience, I can declare that lightning seems to be attracted to the fiberglass sticks like a...

Here is SWF, it's the woke woodpecker, and a couple drunks. I might as well pop the seal on this bottle of turkey juice and join in the "fun".... NAH!

Well 10~11 is sure open today! Maybe a bit TOO open. .385 has degraded into sideband superbowl on steroids.. Heavy sigh. It feels like I stepped off into a time-warp back to 1976.

Yeah me too (honey-do's). The back yard is mine field after all of last week's antenna werk. PVC and aluminum pipe... Pieces of old dacron line and electrical tape just ready to wrap around a lawnmower spindle and stuff like that, and it's strewn everywhere.. Even an uprooted, upside-down tower...

Well, the power just got turned on to the new house next door this morning. And holy mama -- 9+Db RFI on 11M!! I'm going to have to get to the bottom of this very soon. On the positive note; Last weekend, I finally got my Imax 2K back up (been down since hurricane Irma in 2017). So now I can...

They can be built cheaper, but considering the time involved, those are ALL great bargains.. VERY effective!! I can attest to the use of such 'tater guns'. Mine uses an irrigation valve and a blow gun trigger to 'fire' it (see pic). It'll launch it's PVC projectile 500Ft away, given enough...

I understand the rules and wish to enter the contest

Congrats, Greg!(y)

61 OHMS impedance, but hey, as long as the radio is 'happy' at 1:1SWR.......

Answer: Yes. And you DO have a 1/2w radiator, as the entire length is radiating equally. That is to say, it's "balanced", if center-fed. And you are correct about the need for at least, a transformer because the "theoretical nominal impedance" of a half wave dipole at resonance in free space is...

Well --- I tried. But I'm temporarily, a mud duck.

Thanks. and yeah, I thought it was something like "Quicks yang" too. So I looked it up. It's Mandarin, and means Meteorological feature; meteorology atmosphere ambience scene

I won this Radiodditiy QT60 Pro 10 Meter Radio as a giveaway prize for Black Friday 2024, right here on WorldwideDX Radio Forum. One of the qualifications for entering the radio giveaway was to post a review of it in WorldWideDX Radios Forum's,"Product Reviews". This is my review as agreed to...

I did have that conversation with one of my 12 grandchildren regarding this issue. She asked me something to the effect of; "If China invades Taiwan, will it start WWIII?" My answer was, "Beats me, and i doubt anyone knows for sure, one way, or the other". And that, "any global conflict one...

Yeah... Kinda hard to top this thread and that thorough review. Oh well -- Maybe I'll just do a video 'unboxing' followed by a short bench test? Do you guys think I should just attach my review to this thread, or start a new one? Either way, since there's probably no warranty as it's a prize...

Given my recent win, I'll sit a few of these out. I really like you guys and I'd never be able to live it down if I struck a deuce W. Good luck, gang!

Thanks, Gents!

Sa-WeeeeeeeeeeT! I'll try to do an informative review. It'll probably be on youtube and/or Rumble, as I deleted my FB account back in 2015. I better charge-up the ol' GoPro batteries. ;)

I want to be in the contest and I understand all the rules and such. Very interesting radio!
