I run 15w normally. 20 tops. But then again, I have an SGC-2020 so 20w is the top end. work VK land all the time with 7w so I guess im not too screwed up.

Get it while the biddin is good! 40Kw of RF goodness!

Actually, the idea is pretty sound! its the same idea as a Stepp-ir antenna. it will be perfectly resonant on any frequency you put it on. No tuner required...PERIOD. the only thing it would need is a swr/length adjustment computer of somekind that would auto adjust the length. Wish I had...

I run a F350 C/C and from front to back this is the antenna line up Comet 2m/440 AS Dualband cell phone Comet 802.11b/g Antennex 2m stealth (APRS) Terk XM antenna external GPS and in the back corner of the bed, 9ft of vertical antenna with DX engineering hot rods. (fed thru a...

Thats a cop out. You spend how much on a Suckohoochi multi-squechl-o-matic rig? Now how much for the skullit-crackin-dave-texas-omati 200 pill compition box? Now I gotta have like 4 alternators. You still with me. I bought an entire HF station off fleabay for oh 300 bucks. And thats a...

How many do you need? :shock:

Uhhh.... Before you pack yer junk up and toss yer U.S. pasport in the mulch bin you may wanna review the gun laws in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. In fact, they are worse and more repressive than here! As in you pretty much cant own a gun! Just so you know! But hey, the beer is damn good!

Good morning and welcome to 2005! I have been carrying a "national ID card" since 1982! and as others have said, if you use a drivers license, have a job, go to school, ride a bus, your in the system!

Snake, If you really wanted to practice your "ninja" skills, you could build a horizontal loop in your garage. You would definately need a tuner/coupler but that would make the most effective use of the space. I've made them in hotel rooms with #18 speaker wire and taped them to the walls...

Remember, With just about any vertical antenna, you need the "second half" of the antenna to work against. in this case, the counterpoise section. Preferably 1/4 wl at the lowest frequency you intend to work at and at least 8 wires (more is better but there is a diminishing return feature...

Depending on the frequency, dipoles tend to be "broadside" That is if the ends are going North-South, you will probably have an east-west transmit lobe. Some do two dipoles with a N-S and E-W orientation so that they can switch to get the direction they need/want. Hope that helps ya out a bit.

Only problem I have heard about crank ups is the ammount of concrete required. WOW!!! that and if the catastrophic happens and the cable snaps! :shock: I run dipoles in the trees here (evil HOA!) so no towers for teh_bunneh! but if I was gonna do the tower thing, I would look into a...

GAAAK! Dont even get me started! I dont drive a line truck like you but this 2.99+ a gallon for Diesel is just getting nuts! Someone please start growing the hell out of soybeans so we can make bigtime biodiesel! There was a segment on "Dirty Jobs" last night where they showed off the guys...

Part 97 rules. Nope! Cannot! Got to QRO Technologies QRO website and check out the HF-2500DX Mark III! Notice the little bitty note underneath it? Wonder why? cuz this suckah puts out 3,500 WATTS SSB, 2,500 WATTS CW, 2,000 WATTS CONTINUOUS! Just a wee bit over our 1.5Kw limit. But they...

Ack! Sorry to hear that! hopefully nothing hit the house! Hope you get back on the air soon.

Honestly, thats great! I wouldnt putz with it in anyway shape or form. Dont forget, dummy loads are 1:1 :lol:

Actually no I havent. I did read the review and it looks really interesting. If I am not mistaken, didnt Ten-Tec have something like this too? And I know you can get a TS-2000 in a computer controlled model as well. Not a bad idea though, leave all the processing power in the PC and not in...

Re: Disinfo agents.......... You also forgot HAARP, Area 51, Roswell, The Illuminati, Masons, Halliburton, KBR, and Santa Claus! (I'd add the easter bunneh but we are mates! :lol: ) Asparatame? Eh...you get used to it after a while. When your diabetic, you gots no choice (and I simply...

I use capacitace hats on my vertical. No problem. Even for those running screwdrivers/texas bug catches etc. capacitance hats are the norm. as for the SWR going up. Yeah, it is! You just changed the capacitive componet of the equation. But again if all you are concerned about is a SWR of...
