    Rotatable Dipole

    Here's a rotatable dipole I slapped together a couple weeks ago out of some bits and pieces I had laying around: I'll be using it for 10m/11m. I'm still waiting for some decent weather day (it's been raining like a cow pissin' on a flat rock lately) so I can get out on the roof and put it...

    Which Would You Buy?

    Reman 160 amp GM Alternator

    I bought this alternator from MotorCity Reman with the intent of installing it in my T15 Jimmy, but the transmission went out and I decided to purchase another vehicle rather than soak more money into the Jimmy. It is a CS130 160 amp 1 wire unit meaning it will fit into the existing brackets of...

    So far I'm liking it...

    A few months back I picked up an R6000 multi-band antenna so I could get onto a few of the HF bands. Time constraints and weather have prevented me from putting up the antenna - until this past weekend. We had a nice, spring like day so up it went. Obviously, since the antenna has only been up...

    Move over 2000GTL...

    I've used several radios on the 11m band, but always found myself going back to the good ole reliable 2000GTL. Well, it may be playing second fiddle from now on. Below is the radio that will be taking over the #1 spot in the shack for 11m communications:

    Hey Mole - RE:Cushcraft R6000

    I did a search and came across your 01/20/08 post regarding the Cushcraft R6000 antenna. I was wondering if you are still using this antenna, and if so are you satisfied with it's overall performance. Space is limited (no room for dipoles, inverted v, etc.), so I am thinking this antenna might...

    TV Rabbit Ears = 2m Dipole

    I came across an article where a 2m dipole was constructed out of an old TV rabbit ear antenna. In the article they are using it vertical, but I'm thinking about building one to use horizontal. Has anyone ever built/used one of these antennas, and if so what kind of performance did you see from...

    Kenwood TS450SAT ?

    I've read the reviews on this rig, but if possible would like to get some additional input from people that own/have owned this rig. The one I'm considering has 2 CW & 1 SSB filters, TCXO unit, tone unit & voice module options already installed and is a '9 out of 10' according to the owner. I'm...

    Good 2m/440 Vertical?

    I'm looking for a good dual band 2m/440 vertical right around the $100 price range. After doing a bit of browsing I'm thinking about getting the Comet GP-3. Has anyone used this antenna? Comments? Any other antennas that would be a better choice? Thanks
