I didn't get the link...I am bummed LOL! Mike W0MU Scott N1CX was sure one of them said they thought hams were so HOT. I told this to my XYL and she just about died laughing. I'm not quite sure how t
In Thunderbird, look at the right side where it says other actions and pick view source. Outlook has a similar command like show all headers or something. I have not used outlook for a very long time
I try to drive mine in at an angle. If they should hit a rock you will have a better chance to deflect off of it instead of trying to drive through it. Mike W0MU On 4/23/2014 1:36 AM, Ian White wrote
I have the XM240 and for whatever reason it dips at 7175. It is 2.0 at 7000 and 1.2 at 7300. If I had set it at 7125 which I was probably shooting for I might have got the entire band. The antenna is
Sorry to hear of your loss. I am surprised that an Engine crew would have been in the area with temps so hot. Maybe they got in right after the flame front? Having steel at the bottom may also discou
If you have a rotor that has bottom assembly that you can attach to a mast then buy a 10 ft section of heavy duty Schedule XXXX pipe and bolt it to the top of the pole. Mount your rotor on that and t
Most of these gov't agencies are out for themselves. I have no idea why people think they are out to help us. Ask them to show you the laws and regulations that give them this power. Mike W0MU Refere
I guess you have had better luck with government employees than I have. When I put up my first tower there were zero regulations about it. A neighbor complained and the county fired off a letter that
The archives can be found by going to contesting.com or google archives towertalk. Feel free to ask some questions. I would look at the SteppIR for an antenna that can cover all the bands you are loo
Money has nothing to do with selecting a SteppIR. Please show me one antenna that can cover all bands 40-6 wiith NO interaction between the other bands. An antenna that is optimized for each band it
Fixed spacing is just fine when you can vary the element lengths. Mike W0MU It and the steppir too is not ideal in all situations. But it works well enough. Money has nothing to do with selecting a S
When you can vary the element lengths, fixed spacing issues are not a big deal. Are single band antennas going to beat it. Probably. Even in a model single band antenna the sweet spot is one place. R
Rust and corrosion are going to be your problems. I think I was able to watch my tools rust in the salt air next to the ocean at V47M. In two years non SS hardware was effectively welded together. We
If the price of the 4 ele SteppIR is too high. Think about the 3 ele. You lose about a DB of gain on 10-20. You will lose a bit on 6m if that is important. The Bi directional mode and nearly instant
Repairs, quality and Customer Service have been awful forever. Do you really think he doesn't know this? MFJ or Mighty Fine Junk is a well earned name. I have no desire to own anything they are invol
I was trying to come up with a fairly easy to build 30m antenna that I could point at Europe that would have a bit more gain than my dipole at 70 ft. I have not been able to find much on verticals wi
The issue is that nobody wants to hear or find out that what they bought was not as good as another product or that product X which is less might be better. If you are happy with your Mosley great. T
I am glad people keep buying inferior antennas/coax etc. It makes the pileups that much easier to bust.......... Some people refuse to read, learn or educate themselves. Mike W0MU ___________________
Tom, You hit the nail on the head. Nobody said that XXXXX doesn't work. I worked JA's on my Cantenna with 100 watts on 10m. You can work people on anything. I didn't pull my tower over in favor of st
I have been using SteppIR since about 2004. W4TV pretty much hit the gain question. Pros: * Multi monobanders with no interaction from other elements as they don't exist. * Ability to use bidirection
