Any "Beefing up" info would be appreciated. I'm thinking of trying out a V4K this spring when I make some antenna changes. It would be at 50 ft to the base. It's durability and strength have been the only factor discouraging me from purchasing one.

Duty cycle is a bitch....on FM

23 British Columbia sounding good in Central Illinois. Great to work you Sean!

Good to make the contract with you as well. Stryker 955 & D104 into an old Palomar 4×mrf455 (350-400) out to a 20 yr old Imax 2K about 36 ft at the feed. I will be calling on and off throughout the day on 16 lsb.

Nice contact especially on 11 m. What time of day did you pull it off?

I worked Japan, Australia, New Zealand, a few other south pacifics.. Hawaii, all over the Caribbean & south America, many European countries and south Africa from my mobile on the last cycle. 2950 driving an old Texas Star killer bee into a 108 inch whip. Breedlove ball mounted to the rear...

I run a 13b2 at 60 ft.. works better than I thought it would. It's fed with 300 watts (if needed) and 1/2 inch hardline. My buddy south of me has run a 17b2 at 125 ft for several years without a problem. With 100 watts he kicks some ass at that height.

I run 45 elements. . ...on 1296 mhz

I have used Times, Jeffa and Shireen lmr 400 with no issues..

Good price

The Baofeng HT I used to have had ctcss tone scan. The "secret" tones aren't so secret anymore. This of course only works if the machine re-transmits the tone or you're luck enough to receive someone accessing the repeater on reverse..

Boy you hit the nail on the head there. I'm no expert by any means but we have several General class guys and a couple Extras around me that blow me away. The lack of common sense radio knowledge is sad at times.

I've been waiting for a replacement.. updated version of the TS 2000 or atleast something with vhf/uhf all mode to come out... still waiting. Guess I will keep my 9700 and that's just fine with me.

My heart truly break for all those devastated by the "events" of 9/11. I pray that this many years later people will still push for truth regarding these horrific crimes. I don't want to open up a BIG can of worms but I encourage those that just know deep down that the official story just...

Grounding is essential. It's really not an option in my opinion. But as mentioned earlier it must be done correctly. Keep all connections clean and as short as possible. All grounds MUST be at equal potential (bonded together).

It's sarcasm. The within the ( ) in captains reply is why NOT to do it that way.

Yes it is. Grab a role of "seven number ten" is just the work slang for what we use..
