Does anyone know of a fixed station use of this antenna? I'm trying to get back onto SSB and need to move in inexpensive baby steps and this looks like a good fit for my situation. I know I'm sacrifi
I've read KE3HT's report using it for his rover and its seems like a good fit for my situation. The 12' boom is not so long that it should attract the attention of the HOA and since my 736 has 50/144
Mike adds I'd be interested in seeing all replies go back to the list as I'm considering that rig for a purchase near the end of the year as well. -- Mike Urich http://ka5cvh.com The last time all it
In my case I have a FT-736R w/ 50/144/222/432. I also have a FT-840 that I would like to upgrade later this year. Down the road I could hopefully sell the 50 MHz module in the FT-736 which also went

Mike adds Some of the things I hear said is that our dues go into a black hole just like Washington. I don't know if I have ever seen a published budget but I have never bothered to go look either. S
I had forgotten this until just now. Years ago up in Waco I ran across a guy who had a small gear set he'd found at a hamfest (Probably Belton) and was driving it with an old auto power window motor.
For fixed stations I like using the zip code for a multiplier. For rovers, that would suck so bad because just in Harris County (TX) there are in excess of 300 zip codes. I could drive through two
A number of years ago now I went down to one of the local mega giant RV super centers that has a repair department and told them that I needed to charge a deep cycle battery off my car and why and wh

I actually have thought about if having four HTX-100's and then transverters for 50/144/222/432 with amplifiers for each band. If you were ever running a mulit-multi it doesn't matter which station y
I see you have NR5M in there. Here's some pictures from his contest station. I'm the big guy in the blue shirt on the 40 mtr phone station. http://www.ka5cvh.com/photos/v/Super+Station+NR5M/ -- Mike

I was looking at the FLEX-100 SDR today as a potential IF rig for a VHF/UHF contest station (potentially for field or rover use as well). Has anyone bought and used one of these rigs? I'm particular

Please forgive me for I have sinned. A few months ago someone posted a link to a page identifying GPS units that would display maidenhead grids. Apparently I did not bookmark and I couldn't find it i
With the help of F6FVY's web-site http://f6fvy.free.fr/qthLocator/fullScreen.php and PowerPoint I created my own grid maps http://ka5cvh.com/radio/vhf/all_grids_south_central.pdf. Now I just have to
One of our local guys is in tight with most of the media and picked up a used ENG van with ~48 Will-Burt pneumatic tower pretty reasonable. Like you said the van is pretty worn out and the seals on t
