Nice tool, Jim. Much easier to use than CalTopo, but has the same limitation: According to both, I can't get to the club repeater from here, yet do it every day. RF can bend over hills, at least just

Those those off-roading types in the club.... I know there are not that many Jeep related "show" type events in our area (despite this being one of the best areas in the world to off-road)... but this

Dennis thank you very much for sending this out but if you had come across I just picked up what looks like a 35 ft TV antenna from 20 years ago it's got all the elements I would like it to be a 10 m

Hi Tim, The antenna kit is now yours. You can hang onto the Voltage Booster. I am not desiring anything for the kit, other than a pledge that at some point down the road you do something nice for anot

I’ve always tuned an automatic tuner with a low power, say 10w, cw carrier. Some tuners like the Yaesu tuner built into the Quadra amp take more, like 60w min. Dennis - WU6X

The bridge simulates having your [likely] ferrite loop antenna on a 750 foot tower, which at 1020 kHz is about 0.8 wavelengths. All the rest of the way to Forest hill [and anywhere else], your ferrite

Greetings, Please enjoy the photographs in Club Dropbox from Endura Race 2021, Darling Ridge post. AI6US and AI6JB ran HF during the weekend with a homebrewed 80m antenna at 100', launched into treeto

Orion, Thanks for the reply. When I first got the truck, I used a mag mount which was better than what I’m doing now but I’ve got a Crewmax and I roll the rear window down all the time in good weather

The mag mount antenna ( 36" tall) is what I have been using for the last year or so. SWR was 1.3 across the whole band, no adjustments made. The gain was rated at 3.0 dBd, but with 75' of lmr 400, I w

The attached graphs show, in meters, specific lengths to "avoid" when planning a longwire antenna. Matching will be virtually impossible if you happen to land on one of these lengths. Of course, heigh

I should probably mention also that the inverted V configuration for NVIS is very easy, but not ideal because it can pick up significantly more noise from (1) moderate distance lightning storms, and (

Hi Jon, I didn't bother with the copper, and don't recall reading anything suggesting it was important to protect. Sealing the coax, yes, very important to keep water out of there! One last comment wa
