    Predator 10k competition any good?

    I also ran the single coil with the 27" shaft for around 10 yrs on the roof of a F-150. I was using it with a Mr. Coily mt. thru the roof. No complaints on how it worked across the Pacific & Atlantic. In fact if anyone would like it - it's for sale, here's the pic of it. Sorry it is a 22"...

    Alaska Trinkets...

    The year 1977 was my first time to visit Alaska and looking for work. I also had in my mind that there were two things that I really wanted to get from there - Gold Nugget watch and Wolf rug mount. Well I finally completed the task and here are the pictures. This watch I acquired my second year...

    WestMountainRadio ClrDsp feedback

    I have been using a Heil Clear Speech speaker for the last 16 yrs on a RCI 2970dx and it finally gave up this past month. So I put the West Mt. DSP speaker in it's place and it seems to work just as good as the Heil speaker - in fact this one seems to have a quicker response after unkey than...

    Striped out thread fix

    Using Vinegar will also help in removing it from hands, etc. before it hardens. Does it say what the temperature rating is?

    Been hearing a lot of CB users on 7300's

    7300, yes very nice radio's for sure, but for using on 11 meters - just nostalgia. Give me the money for what it cost and I'll put up a bigger beam.

    Striped out thread fix

    Tip: when applying any type of thread repair, just coat the threads with "Pam" cooking spray or Johnson Past Wax and you won't have any problems with not getting the screw or bolt out.

    Fairbanks in last night.....

    502 in a mobile was putting a good signal all the way down into B.C., Washington, NV, S. Cal. It was a short qso for me. I heard him tell a guy in NV that he was hitting the 3k mark - which I believe to be true, for I did talk to him one day last week. A "normal" station (lol) couldn't do that...

    Beam Suggestions

    Oh don't worry Flying J, with 5 element and 100 watt radio, you won't have a problem getting to the west coast....unless maybe you are 100' below sea level or calling from Europe or Asia!

    Beam Suggestions

    Same here - 5 element Maco horizontal will work just fine for you. I have been talking with a 5 element for the last 45 yrs now.

    On my 3 screw Black Hawk .45LC I installed a glued on rib. Then I put a pair of Herters wood grips on it. I still think about that piece all the time.

    Northern Canada...

    Well now that is something that I never thought to ask him about QSLing. But I will probably have to ask him next year. He did say that he has only been there for 10 yrs. and that he was originally from Newfoundland. I forgot to mention - the contact took place right close to 9:00pm (Pacific)...

    Northern Canada...

    Last week I was able to make a good contact to the region of NWT (Northwest Territories), Yellowknife does not have many radio op's there (maybe 3-4). What was kinda unique was, this is the same time frame (April) that we had made contact last year with each other on 38 lsb. Also going back -...
