@FlyBoy50 Talked to a guy in Northern Washington state last year, the day after Christmas. He was talking on a 980 with a wireless microphone that his wife bought for him. He walked all the way to his mailbox, and I could hear him crystal clear while using the Uniden wireless microphone. Brand...

Skip in the states has been booming here in western NC for about a week now on LSB. Jumped up to the international call channel last night about 11 pm EST, and had a QSO with 201DA101 French Polynesia at 5/7. My Antron 99 working it. More than likely it was the other guy's antenna, a 5 element...

120 mph wind...wow. That's as strong as a F2 tornado. Had a F1 tornado, at wind speed 105 mph, come high above my home, and it bent a Sirio four element like cooked spaghetti noodles. 1.25 inch inside diameter galvanized pipe at 21 feet stayed straight. The pipe is slightly over 1 5/8 inch...

Same here in western NC. Caribbean mostly in the afternoon and evening. Around October, hopefully, 11 meter conditions will improve.

Saw a video about your point #2. Using RG-213 coax. 492/27.205=18.0949 18.0949×.66=11.9360 feet Use multiples of two. In some of the old CB antenna instruction manuals regarding RG-213 coax, I have read to use 12 foot jumpers, and multiples of two from antenna to radio.

Niteize has came out recently with a better one, I think, than the one you linked. I have used both, and I like the SlideLocks the best. https://niteize.com/camjam-slidelock-rope-tightener

Have to hunt the WebSDR.org. I get a lot of French stations, so I have been using Bordeaux Freebands to hear my station. Just click record. You will figure it out! Link below to the one I have the best luck. http://freebands.websdrbordeaux.fr:9000/

I did have the RF connection sealed with Scotch 33, and coax seal on top of that. Used coax seal where the wire from the ring loop attaches to the RF connection. Did not use anything on the other end of the wire that comes from the ring loop. Probably should have done that. Can the copper...

OK that sounds good about the Workman. I took down my Maco V58 for one reason. Every time it rained it would de-tune downward in frequency by lots. Otherwise, it worked great. Just wondering if the Workman will de-tune with rain?

Awesome! Going to give it a try tomorrow on 11 meter. Here is the Delta-Alfa radio club link for 135DA/0. The island is Malaita. https://www.delta-alfa.com/activities/135da-0/

282.61 pound sterling shipped from Radioworld UK. That includes an on going 5% discount.

Nice one! Will see if I can get lucky and hear them. Station is going to be active until 3/21/25. Link below. https://alfatango.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=839:145at0&catid=17&Itemid=237

Nice one! Wish I had been on the radio during that DX expedition.

I heard him last weekend, but he was low on my receive, but was coming up. Just checked his logs, and yes he heard me. I heard him about 4/4, but another station kept calling him, and stepping on his signal, so I never did get my signal report. Signal to noise ratio is awesome on a Delta...

Made the contact with 249DA/0 yesterday from western NC. I was 5/5, and Giovanni was 5/4 to 5/6. My Gain-Master 5/8 is getting more Pacific stations than I have ever had with any other antenna. Down below is the link to Giovanni's 249DA/0 adventure. https://www.delta-alfa.com/activities/249da-0/

Can't remember which video on YouTube. The reviewer said the extra board is 20 volts to the finals.

Ok good deal. He has not updated his logs for today yet, so hopefully I will be in his log the next update. Down below is his link from DX Adventure radio club. https://www.delta-alfa.com/activities/339da-0/log/

Had my first contact from 339DA/0 27.630 USB. Darren is on Pigeon Island Temotu Province. It's an on going island activation I think. Made contact at 5/5 round about 2:00 EST. from western NC.

There is a guy that is close to me that has had a Heathkit Cantenna listed on Facebook market place for a long time now for $50. He is highly rated. Link below. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/202632826266549/?ref=marketplace_profile&referral_code=undefined

Back early Spring of this year, I was having QSO's on 11 meter USB from a station on the Canary Islands, and his TS-50 sounded good...very punchy too.
