Would that FCP work with my 43' vertical, three 25' top loading wires that drop at a 45 degree angle (patterned after the NORD antenna model) and have a 160 meter loading coil that I put in series wi
I'm running LMR-400 from the shack out to the auto tuner at the base of my vertical and could use some #31 ferrite cores that handle the larger coax (connectors are already attached) so if'n anyone h
Jorge: I'll be on during the CQ event but only QRP so I doubt you'll hear my pipsqueak signal BUT I'll look for ya and call you if I hear ya! However, I'll have, hopefully, an improved antenna system
Steve: I'll be on Top Band this coming Thursday evening and would enjoy scheduling a QSO with ya so that you can get Utah taken care of. Hopefully, I'll have an improved antenna system in place by Th
I'm with ya, Jack -- and, for me, since I have so few Top Band DXCC QSLs 'cuz I operate QRP, I LOVE holding that card. Hi Hi In fact, for my 260+ DXCC entities that I've worked, I believe I have 240
Sigh - even Top Band is going the way of 75 meters and 20 meters, it would seem.... Hey, it's even worse as a QRP type operator, trust me but........then again, anyone crazy enuff to operate QRP on T

Well, was on Top Band yesterday evening, around 2030 local time, 0330Z, and worked an AL station and heard a GA station so -- I need SC and MS for QRP WAS on 160 and wonder if any MS hams are "out th
I need MS for QRP WAS on 160! Anyone from MS available for a sked? Tomorrow morning around sunrise your time? Think that would be around 0700 your time, which would be 0600 mine? OR, tomorrow evening
