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?

I was kind of thinking the same since I have them already. 50/50 considering that I guess.

Just wondering roughly what kind of output I should expect out of these in this amp? I'm not worried about a small power decrease if that's what I end up with. It's just a "helper" in my side by side anyways. I know, most will say I'm wasting my time on a pc of junk. It was free and I have a...

I love my mix of the modern transceiver but also those warm "antique" bulbs below...;)

So any opinions or comments on this type of setup? Mine is this way (pic below), of course with the radials off of the Maco, and I do get good results, but however, to me in theory, it seems as if one would be somewhat sharing/stealing the power of the other one in TX, and possibly even in RX...

Testttttttt!

Testy Testy...
