For crystal storage I have a piece of white packing foam at the bottom or a small box. The crystals plug into the foam and sit upright. On the top of each crystal I placed a small white label with the

For those rock-bounders like me... I'm getting quite a collection of crystals for 40m and 20m. Currently they're all in a small metal box, and I have to take off my glasses and squint at them for a

I have several efhw - 66ft, 126ft...all have a 49:1 with 15ft counterpoise wires. Also your coax shield will act as a counterpoise. I use a common mode balun (can be an ugly balun) at the 49:1 box. A

Should you be heading for the Dayton area for the big 'Fest and/or FDIM, don't forget you're less than 10 miles away from the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. Open 9am-5pm 7 days a week And if

Curt, I had one once upon a time, got the kit from a “new ham” who discovered it was beyond his abilities. Worked swell when I got it assembled and alligned. Can you send the schematics to me if
