    Tokyo Hy-Power AM operation

    Yep, 11-meters. I thought that might be the issue. Not going to mess around with this beautiful THP amp. Works flawlessly on in-band SSB. I have an "out of band" amp on the way, so not a big deal. Thank you very much for the clarification!

    Tokyo Hy-Power AM operation

    Hello, Is there a procedure to operate/excite the THP HL-1.2Kfx amp on AM? If I set drive to <10 watts, there's really no increase in output, but if I increase drive to about 15 watts, the amp goes into overdrive mode. I followed the manuals instructions by decreasing input drive to 30% but...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Some skip is starting roll into the Northwest Corner. Skip might be thin for a day or two due to solar activity.

    Old man stuck in "old-school"

    Thank you all for the welcome and recommendations! "There are many people running ham gear on 11 meters, and you'd probably sound a whole lot better (than on the old stuff) and no one would even realize." Yeah, I could just mod my FTDX101MP and called it good.

    SWR Woes with Wilson Trucker 2000 and RV Ladder

    I think you would need to bond that ladder (or mount) to the RV. Ladder may be isolated from RV body with bushings or plastic washers. Think you need continuity between ladder and RV body to form some bit of a ground plane effect.

    Old man stuck in "old-school"

    Hey group, I'mmm Back! I joined this forum back in 2006 which had a different form back then. All good times & folks. Anyway, I'm back in the "CB" game again after a 10+ year CB hiatus. I was/am still a pretty active Ham but somehow got the CB bug again. I've been purchasing some really...
