Hi Gang, Did anyone use one of these TenTec rigs for the June VHF test? How did it work? How did it compare to your last 6 and 2M rigs? I am looking to upgrade my setup for qrp/p ops and this rig wou

Hi Gang, The Lucite was cut on the bandsaw with care in preparation for 1/16" elements of brazing rod per N6NB's instructions if I'd dare. OK, that's bad...... Anyway, I discovered that 1/16" brass b

Hi All, I really like what Duane, N9DG, is saying in regards to using a computer to look at the bands. Thinking about my rover op a few weeks ago, it is sometimes VERY frustrating to hear guys talkin

Hi John and Gang, I am a rabid qrp guy, HF and VHF, mostly out of necessity. I wholeheartedlyt support this idea and agree that 10W should be the max. This would foster more interest as guys like me

Hi Gang, As a new rover (been roving for only 2 contest and QRP/p for another 3) all I can say/ask is, WHAT? Who in their right mind would spend weeks and months getting set up for such a difficult t
