You are correct about that, sir. I've noticed this about this group, something is different than most.

Well, resistor plugs and wires became standard equipment and the mid to late 60s, and with the Advent of all the electronic equipment, breakerless ignitions and computers, you will not find a vehicle without resistor plugs and wires.

Resistor wires and plugs have been standard equipment on cars for many decades. Unless the resistors are going bad, there is no need to replace them ... or if it needs a tune-up anyway. Antenna too close to the engine bay? Power wires running near the distributor or coil? Diagnose before...

Wishing all my forum buddies a happy new year. Let's make it a great DX year!.

Congrats!!

Yes, I drop to 16 at the top of the hour and give a yell or two.

I was on 37 for most of the day and made some really good contacts. No fellow WDXers, tho.

I'm up on the upper channels listening and calling but I hear nobody.

I would like to toss my name into this drawing. I understand the rules.

Thanks guys! I'm going to add a couple of small musical notes in the corners to see how it looks. Don;t want it too cluttered, tho.

My first draft.

I'm making contacts like crazy today on 36 37 and 39

I can go from 26.200 to 28.100 and be at 1.3:1 on both ends. Never checked resonance cuz I won't buy an analyzer I'll use once. When they start making one that costs about 40 bux I'll grab one. LOL But now that I noticed this and passed it around to the locals, they concur.

I gripped mine in a vise, heated it up and peened it over (mushroomed it) so it would grip the little slot in the nylon holder.

Still working great 2 years later!

Had some good DXing today. South and west booming in strong.

I've noticed something I think is strange. Maybe I'm very late to the party, or maybe it's something new. BUT, I've noticed that voice reception and signal strength is much better on the higher channels than the lowers. Channels 1 thru about 27 or so are very difficult to make voice contact...

I tried a few times this afternoon. Nobody there.

Sounds to me like crappy coax. Maybe leaking or something. If the shield were doing it's job the roof should have no effect.

Just for squirts and squiggles, try just randomly spreading the extra coax up inside the headliner instead of a bound bundle. It only takes a minute and you may be surprised. Or, not. But you have nothing to lose.
