Thanks, but it doesn't take being a master. Just get the pieces and screw them together. I was going to do a simpler crappie fishing pole/aluminum tube vertical dipole, but broke my last fishing pole too short. I've repaired it, but don't need it now.

While a 1/2ʎ vertical doesn't raise too many eyebrows in an antenna building environment of cool and exotic, this one is the first 11m antenna I've thrown together in a very long time. Why? Background: My neighbor has long wanted a CB station, but the wife said, "No!" Now, her sudden passing 7...

Thanks! For future projects that is interesting to know if hoop materials are scarce. I look forward to your current project report. The only thing I've done recently is throwing together an 11 meter 1/2ʎ antenna for a neighbor to use until he buys one after New Years.

Hey, Bob. Did you ever get this project done? Curious to hear about your results.

Thanks for the reply. I am familiar with those "Fire-Up" Firestick top sections many replaced the Antron top section with. I have one in my shed I've never used. What this one has is a 6' long stainless steel rod inside the removable fiberglass shell of the top section. There is a set screw...

Yep. Me, too. Wasn't familiar with that combination.

I did. The antenna is shot inside. No where is resonant. I figured it out. It's a Tram 1498 1/2ʎ 11 meter antenna.

As you may know, I spent most of my time making antennas, and those few I've store bought were the old standards, A99, Imax, Sirius GP2745, Astroplane, etc. I have one in possession that looks very similar to the A99, tuning rings, three sections 18.5' long, AND has an adjustable length...

I also received the payment as agreed. Thank you, Ed. I never had a doubt all would go well. Homer

Glad they arrived!

I have wanted to build one of these for quite a long time, but haven't. Now I no longer have an SUV... but I one day may find some time and scratch the itch.

DM sent.

:D

That has been known to cause headaches. Especially when your not used to it.

Oh. I don't have 3 phase either. I QRP because I want to do it occasionally.

If you want it, you can have it at that price. I'm just trying to sell it.

Honestly, I've no idea. Perhaps you've dealt with things like this. If it were yours what would you take for it. I know it works, but it's over heating in that spot. I know that before he died the owner used it often. He took it out of line because of that issue. He meant to repair it, but a...

I have this amp. It works, however, two or three key ups and smoke ascends from the area of the toroid/resistor combo in the closeup photo. Any ideas? I'm not an electronics tech so, more than an easy cold solder joint touchup it ... If I can sort this out I will be offering this for sale. If...

I have two(2) each of these power transistors new. I think the MRF300AN's & MRF300BN's ought to be worth $15 each ×4 = $60 for all 4 +$6 shipping Total $66 Check out their online prices for appreciation for these prices. Thanks, Homer

I'm not sure whether I was clear about this Homebrew post. I actually did purchase a 1957 GMC Coach, formerly a Greyhound bus, in 1996. We did a complete remodel of the interior into a well appointed motor home. We painted the ouside, and all the underneath luggage compartments were utilized for...
