I rarely get anything from Tennessee on 11m... the evening 80&40m shooting the bull booms in of course at night upon the band openings but would love to get some of the closer DX on 11 & 10 as well sometimes.

Me and my zip tied up station go by "45" here in Tallahassee Florida on the 11m band, and I'm curious on any members that have talked to me during a DX blast?! Just seeing where this goes, and maybe some other members can connect and confirm other contacts for themselves with others in this...

45 North Florida... here at work,:rolleyes: wishing I was set up remote!

That sounds like a very good possibility...I'll try that tonight.

I've actually tried all speeds/settings for AGC and it's still a little wonky sounding while in the house.

So this is probably simpler than I think, but it has always had me stumped. My Yaesu FTDX-10 is the transmitter in this situation, hooked to a dummy load...my Icom 7300 is the receiver/monitor, as I'm setting the eq in the Yaesu. Even with the Yaesu turned all the way down to 5 watts, and only...

I appreciate all of the info, and I actually tried it last night and it's definitely a NO-GO. The ATU in the radio wouldn't even lock on to a tune.

Just wondering if anyone has any experience mounting an Antron/Imax 2000 off the side of a tower. Without getting into the reason I need to do this, any opinions on minimum distance out from the tower for decent 10m/11m local operation in this mounting style? 2 feet...4-5 feet...more? I know a...

JJ was definitely an awesome radio friend and I'm sure an even better one in person, even though we never met. We spoke sometime back in September and that's the last contact we made recently. Link attached below of a nice contact with him about 12-13 years ago. He will be missed big time on...

Makes perfect sense, thanks!

So in another thread I asked opinions on my Sirio 4 element yagi being up 50' vs back down to 1 W/L high, now I'm curious on any opinions or real world findings on an omni, such as my Maco V-58 in the same scenario? Currently my V-58 is 60' up on my tower (60' to the base of the Maco) and some...

Jeeze exactly!

I'm not sure right off, but your call does sound familiar. It's been so crazy in there lately that my pen can keep up the ink flow from me "chicken scratching" numbers down!

What's your DX call again Rwb?

It was definitely a pleasure running into another WWDX member on the air BC Coyote! You were slamming into Tallahassee Florida!

You ain't lying!!

I can fully agree! If it's not the latest version of a smartphone, (which yes I do use and appreciate) they don't want anything to do with a hobby like this. I'm 43 here, and I've had the interest in this stuiff since I before I was legal to drive, and I will never give up the desire for this...

Redbeard190, I can say the same results came out with me on this one. With 20 watts SSB swing in, I get around 100-120 watts out, which is satisfactory to me considering...but yes the SWR is horrible while on...1.6-1.8'ish.

That definitely makes sense.

Just checking in again on this one, just wanting to get some opinions/results based on prior experiences?
