    round 2

    200 watts is more than enough for working Any DX. I have worked the world with ease on 10 watts from my ICOM 703 PLUS. What DX can't be worked with 200 watts? Anyone not working DX on 10 meters with 200 watts is using a Dummy Load for an antenna. In a Contest everyone is 59 so power does not...

    round 2

    I Rarely ever log any QSO's & when I do it' in my paper logs. I have really bad Arthritis so it's painful to write & I don't do any form of electronic logs. I feel it's a personal choice & a log is not required & has not been for a long time. I am a DX Chaser for the most part on HF & I chase...

    PEP Conversion for DRAKE W-4 Wattmeter

    I have been using his PEP Kit in my WELZ SP-600 for 6 meters for many years & it also works very well. He makes some great products for a great price & he's a good guy from all I have heard.

    It makes as much sense as saying, This is W4KVW for id purposes. For what other reason would you give your call sign other than for id purposes? LOL {:>)

    Parallel Operation of 2 Astron RS-70's ...

    I know I read it as well & I thought it was in the manual to the RS-70M but I have no idea where that manual is since I no longer have that supply. I know I did not dream it.

    How about a "DX-DAY" for forum members

    I no longer own any radios that transmit on that band just Amateur Bands & GMRS for me. All I have for HF at the moment is my Antron 99 at 30' & I use it for 10-17 meters & it's OK but not great on any band. Hopefully the New tower & beams will be up in a month or so. Hopefully it handles a...

    How many radios do you run?

    It's the Devil thinking he can make me angry. I know I'm on the Winning Team so it's not possible so he's wasting his time here & that's great because somebody else is catching a break while he's wasting time with me. LOL It's all OK here & we will be back better than ever really soon. Thanks...

    Ic208h. Icom

    ICOM America is the only source that I'm aware of for that information. I owned one for several years & I sold it to a local friend who still uses it today. Have you checked their website for the information? If you can't locate it I'd send them an email & I'm sure they can take care of it for you.

    8ft Grounding rod: copper or galvanized

    All of the stuff inside & outside of our home was tied to the common ground of our home yet it blew a lot of stuff up? Most all of it was nowhere near my tower & plugged into the main panel box in our home which is grounded to the main ground rod that was installed when they built our home over...

    8ft Grounding rod: copper or galvanized

    I never understood if Lightning is looking for a Ground then why am I providing it's Target? WE had a Lightning strike here at our home 7 weeks ago & looking at the blown fuses it appears the strike came in through the Ground of our home. Not a single fuse on any piece of gear that I lost had a...

    10 meter is very quiet?

    As high as 1500 watts depending upon your license class.Of course there are many on the 11 meter band that run far more than that.

    10 meter is very quiet?

    10 & 11 meters are quite different bands.11 meters is open far more than 10 meters and as usual the FCC Gave Away the better band for sure.Listen to 11 meters when the signals are marginal and go to 10 meters and try and hear anything including a beacon and more times than not you will hear nothing.
