Well, I would like to hear about how things work in the real world before I
plunk down money for a mini beam and rotator. I find my new ARGO V to be a
spectacular little radio. I like the idea that I can control it with a PC....
And to think, I could have bought a 100 watt Japanese Rig for $300 less.... I
have it hooked to 70 foot inverted V with a trap on each leg. It's going into a
TT tuner. I have it in a tree about 30 Feet in the air fed by 450 ohm ladder
long. I have made East Coast and West Coast contacts; as well as Canada and
The Cook Islands, all with 5x9 signal reports...So, ok.. I am looking a TGM
Hybrid QUAD and TV rotator... Gosh, is it worth $500? .. There are other ways
to go. Other beams or much cheaper a little vertical or sloper....Whosoever
works or has worked low power DX or or uses small beams. Please comment....
Perhaps some day there will be an Argo V Sweepstakes!!!Larry GreenbergN5BEA
