My mistake. My radio will do -1.30 then it goes to -1.35. I cannot get it to program -1.31. 73 Walter KD4OMR

I have a Kenwood TH-F6A that I would like to use to contact the ISS if possible. I understand that the offset is-1.31, my radio will only go -1.31 or -1.35; what do I do? Walter KD4OMR

I cannot put up a flag pole as this is a rental property. I am considering putting my long wire up in the attic as it is pretty big. I just need to figure out how to get the coax through the ceiling to my station. 73 Walter KD4OMR

I am in the process of setting up my station and there are covenants and restrictions pertaining to antenna's, Etc in this housing development. If I ran my long wire antenna along the top of my 6' privacy fence were it would not be seen, would it function properly? 73 Walter KD4OMR

Hang in there and do not give up. Congrats. Walter KD4OMR

Captain..Major... Lieutenant It has been my experience that hams are always friendly and courteous. I have not ordered the switches yet and I will take your advise and look into the Diamond switches before I do order. I do want the extra outlet for a dummy load. 73 Walter KD4OMR

Although I will lose my outlet for a dummy load I think your suggestion is right on and that is what I will do. I sure hope you and 359 are good friends with all this good natured ribbing going on. I am going to go order those two Diawa 201A coax switches. 73 Walter KD4OMR

Good one!
