The line forms behind me, Gentlemen. Get 'em while they're hot. http://www.ebay.com/itm/152479765671 Whatever could be concealed inside that magical glob of Plasti-Dip? :rolleyes::whistle:

I'm thinking of re-doing the antenna farm; moving my Imax from the chimney mount to tower #1 replacing my 2 element quad. The 4 element flatsider on tower #2 will be replaced with something large with switchable polarity, something like a 6 or 8 element long boom design. My question for the...

I recently got a Turner Super Sidekick in VGC o/t it has no element in it. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what element(s) would be a decent sounding replacement for the stock unit? This will be primarily used for SSB on Uniden/Cobra/Galaxy radios. Just starting to research this and...

I have an older sweep tube amp in 1x3 configuration using 6je6's. Given the availability and cost of NOS tubes for this, what is the feasibility of re-tubing this with something more readily available like EL509/519's, or maybe 572B's? (Although I suspect I don't have the voltage required by...
