Ok a couple questions. I'm a total rookie and tend to leap before I look or (in this case read). I built both of these yagi's. 70 cm and 2 meters. My reasoning for building 2 instead of a single dual band was good band coverage for each. My MFJ bridge confirms the 2 meter one has nice flat swr...

Hey all, My single wire antenna is hung from my mast fairly close (within 1 foot)to the metal guy wires (they are isolated from ground) and is in an inverted V config. My SWR at 10 meters is flat but I'm wondering if there's any parasitic losses happening. Also, do the support lines on the...

I passed my tech test the other day but I've been working on my rig and such so I'm ready when I get a call sign. I got the designs for all off of the good ole internet (it has to be true right? LOL). Had to do some serious tweaking to the 2 meter to get it to resonate where I wanted. The 70 cm...

Hi all. I built a 4 ele 2 m yagi from an old tv antenna. Is there a way to add 70cm 's to it and utilize the same feed point (I can move it obviously)? I've seen dual banders but they had separate feeds. I really don't want 40 lbs of LMR 400 on the same mast. (JK LOL) 73

I happened upon an old Philmore FSM55 meter from the 80's?? Have the unit and box but no manual. Searched online but cannot locate a PDF or anything referring to the manual. Wondering if anyone on here knows about it or location of the documents I'm looking for. The power meter reads exactly...
