    I'm sure everyone remembers me noise issue... (update)

    Well, when I filled out my complaint, I mentioned the supervisor's name from the city who worked on the issue, the renter's names and the home owners names. And, gave all the addresses and phone numbers as well. I told them we tried to contact them, tried to work it out but they slammed the door...

    Coax, null or not?

    I agree. Some cheap, garbage antennae will use the shield as a counterpoise and cutting the excess will whack out the match. I've been there as well. 99.999% of the antennae I have installed have been 108" whips or ground planes and have found the best jumper is the shortest jumper.

    Coax, null or not?

    All I can tell is my experience. I have no analyzer so this is just real world. I have a radio, jump[er to meter, jumper to amp, jumper to meter, jumper to antenna switch and then antenna. My SWR is flat for a very wide range. I have had this configuration in many different [positions on the...

    I'm sure everyone remembers me noise issue... (update)

    The only thing I received from the FCC was a confirmation email with a ticket number, automated, I'm sure. An informal complaint has no way to follow, no updates, no correspondence. According to the rules, the offender is supposed to get a letter and they have 30 days to take care of the issue...

    How about it?

    Nope. No ants, either!! A little cool down in my radio cubby, but I'll make it!

    How about it?

    These last couple of days we're experiencing ice quakes. The sound like sonic booms during the day. Shake the ground and the house.

    I'm sure everyone remembers me noise issue... (update)

    I can't honestly say that what they did was intentional. However, I had the city power crew working daily for nearly a month, going thru the entire distribution line in the neighborhood. They even piggybacked my distribution network to another one, eliminating my transformer. When all was said...

    FREQUENCY AND TIME FOR CONTACTS

    I heard you yesterday and tried to get to you but there was a huge pile up. Don't know if you heard me or not.

    How about it?

    LOL .. our forecast thru the weekend is for a high of 7° on Saturday. The rest is in the negatives. I am sooooo sick of winters!

    How about it?

    It was -10° this morning when i got up. Supposed to hit a high of 4° today with a wind chill of -34°, and the temp dropping to -17° over night. Anyone want to trade??

    I'm sure everyone remembers me noise issue... (update)

    Well, after nearly a year of putting up with my neighbor's noise issue, it disappeared. I hated to do it, and I thought nothing would come of it, but I ended up going to the FCC about it. Low and behold, 5 months later I am clear again. I can't say for certain it was Uncle Charlie, but the...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Thank you, Brother!! You were sounding mighty tall, yourself until conditions pulled you away. It was quite a surprise to hear you up there. It takes a strong signal to break that noise level I'm dealing with. We'll do it again, my friend!!

    Anytone 6666pro am swing

    With minor adjustments my Q6 Pro keys at 20w and swings to 80w PEP. As far as I know, that's what it's supposed to do.

    Stryker 955 Issue

    Do a hard reset on it and try again

    Anytone at-5555 PLUS

    Yup, me as well. Function over form. Not just the performance, tho, but the ease of function as well. It's why I love the Stryker 955. Most of the functions one would need to access during use is on a knob or a switch. No having to punch thru menus to find the item. I have a brand new Anytone Q6...

    Coax, null or not?

    I have always said that if you have a quality antenna with a quality install and proper grounding, the coax should be virtually transparent. I still get laughed at with that response, but I have been playing radio since 1964 when my older brother got me interested, and I have so many installs I...
