    MOSLEY 27 MHz Antenna Designs - GROUND PLANE - DP-275-27 - "Devant Special" 11 Meters

    You may contact Mosley by phone Monday - Friday & ask them. They actually answer the phone & emails as well. I will keep using my Mosley over any other brand of antenna made because it works Very well & is built like a tank. No motors that fail or fiberglass that falls apart in the sun just...

    POTA haters and purposeful interference.

    I still have my Club Vest from the ADF Operators from Channel 5. It was the Armadillo Operators. I was just a teen aged kid, so the vest no longer fits me but it's still in very good condition. I was ADF-1746 "SIX-SHOOTER". My dad was ADF-1748 "BOOTLEGGER". The vest has a Very Large Armadillo...

    POTA haters and purposeful interference.

    I have never been one that cared if anyone agreed with me about anything. I'm not into pleasing others & for sure of changing my way of doing things for them so they are happy. We can't please everyone so we should just please ourselves when possible & we will all be much happier. If that upsets...

    Conversation with Jim5570091

    I have never measured a run of coax for any band since 1965. I use what I have & I don't have any issues with my stations. I use quality LMR-400 for almost every run even in my mobile going to my Lil Tarheel HP. All of my antennas are resonant, so I don't need an antenna tuner either. If you...

    POTA haters and purposeful interference.

    It would be Great if All POTA, NETS, & Contesters were moved to one portion of each band & they were Not allowed any use of the WARC Bands. Maybe give them their own band so they can just bother each other. About all I hear on 20 meters is POTA every hour of every day if the sun is up. I'm a DX...

    The tower and all of the antennas on it came down during a Hurricane in October 2023. I'm in the process of installing a New tower with a Mosley TA-53M with the 40 meter dipole. M2 6M5X, & a Hi-Gain 14 element 2 meter yagi.

    Who else thinks they are blocking the skip with chemtrails or haarp?

    I don't see that DX has been blocked? I have worked Israel, Australia, New Zealand, & many more countries the last couple of days on several different bands so I guess their secret shield has some serious holes in it. The conditions are far from Perfect but I have seen them far worse many times...

    If you've owned an Icom rig has it ever had to be repaired?

    I know this is a very OLD topic but it's still relevant Today. I sent an ICOM 756 PRO II back to Kirkland, Washington for repair of a receiver preamp & it was out of warranty by a few weeks. It was repaired for FREE & returned to me. It eventually failed many years later when it burned a hole in...

    WANTED: 1 KW ( or larger) OIL-FILLED DUMMY LOAD

    Just buy the Mineral Oil at the Feed Store & pay far less than if it's listed for Humans. It's the exact same oil but it's a SCAM because most people don't know there is no difference. God Bless & 73

    WHO MAKES THE BEST COAX SWITCH ??

    I have been using my Alpha Delta 4 position switch for about 15 years on HF/6 meters with a Kilowatt Plus going thru it with ZERO issues. I would buy another one if I ever needed it.

    Multi speaker hookup

    I use the solid type with two inputs & one output with my ICOM 7610 & the ICOM 9100 because they both have Dual Receivers. I run each of them into a ClearSpeech DSP speaker (One for each radio) & it works very well.

    Cheap Auto tuner I'm gandering at.

    I SOLD all of my tuners & am now using Resonant antennas on every band. If I get a little wide on HF or 6 meters & can always use the tuner in the ICOM PW-1 but that's very Rare. The resonant antennas work far better & I will never go back to an antenna that needs a tuner that's not doing...

    Finally Did It...

    ZERO activity here on GMRS so I Sold both Kenwood mobiles & Both Radioddity HT's. I'm sticking with Amateur Radio where there is lots of activity. It was a Waste of money for me & I will not renew my GMRS License when it expires. W4KVW WRMX520.

    AL-811H Low/no grid current on some bands

    All of my PERSONAL First Hand Experiences with Ameritron Tech Support have been VERY POSITIVE as I stated above. I upgraded to an ICOM PW-1 so I no longer need any tech support from Ameritron but if I did I would have Zero issues calling ROB HOOD at Ameritron & having him address the issue as I...

    AL-811H Low/no grid current on some bands

    It will Always be my Opinion because they Always provided Top Notch Service to me & my friends as well. I could not have asked for Anything else & I'm Not a Big Fan of MFJ as a company but AMERITRON Always did an Amazing job when I needed them. Why would I say otherwise when I'm speaking from...
