I picked up a very cheap Cushcraft AR10 on ebay. I would like to know the best way to adjust it for working on 11 meters band. I have the ATU MFJ904 but wonder if there is another way of adjusting it from the antenna end ? A half wave length vertical for 11 meter band is 17:3 feet, the...

My President Lincoln has a problem it is now only pushin out 25 miliwatt instead of 25 watts. Anybody have any ideas of what could have gone wrong ? Does it sound like an expensive repair, nothing else seems wrong apart from the output power.?

This seems to be fair comment in this cilmate we now live and age of radio we are at. The cbers who are often reffered to like 'the bottom feeders' of the radio world simply have to homebrew and modify to get on the air ! It seems a shame that many hams learn so much technical information...

Ok look what you guys got me doing, I am building homebrew aerials now lol :D After looking through the forum for simple designs, I come across the double bazooka dipole. Have hummed and arred aboutt building this for a bit to be honest then went and decided to do it. I have a local...

Another option for me would be a disguised ground mounted antron. I don't have the option to put any height on the darn aerial. I realise as far as antennas go 'height is might ' :D But when I am restricted to very limited options, will the antron 99 mounted on the ground at least be able...

I have been given an Antron 99 by a friend. I am in limited and restricted space by those dreaded Housing Association chaps :( I know that putting the Antron 99 on it's side will make it directional. It isn't the best option, but one of the very options I have :( There is no chance of...
