While waiting for my call to show up in the FCC database....

Thought I would assemble the Arrow 146 yagi this afternoon. Assembly was easy and straight forward, quality construction also. Not tuned yet.

The Diamond X50 on its temporary mast on the patio. Been doing some good listening just 8 ft off the ground.

And here is the old CB antenna which is coming down and being replaced with Amateur VHF/UHF antennas.

Thanks for looking.
 
You're welcome :) anytime... You might be surprised what you hear with that yagi, you've got yourself a really decent start there.. You should be able to do pretty decent with that depending on terrain of course.. We get some out of state check ins from Clinton, IA, a few from Indiana, various areas of Wisconsin.. I don't know what city you're in, so it's kind of hard to tell lol... But you might be surprised, this repeater I mentioned before has really good "ears" lol

Hope to hear ya on here, and again welcome to the hobby, there's plenty to do that's for sure...

I went to the WX9MCS website and that is a beautiful antenna KC9SQR. I can see why it hears well. Once I get rolling I will try to listen for it. Thanks for your kind words and the welcome.
 
Thirsty is gonna have to find a new forum as this one is chock full of cb ingrades.

It would not be prudent for him to hang out here any longer.

Time to hit that " Yeah what GLR said" button
