Somewhere in the past I read that an 80m dipole sees 200 times more signal than a 2m 5/8. Don't know if it's true or how to prove it. n7net

Michael, I 2nd Tom’s suggestion. Using his method it made a very good portable NDB chaser out of my DX-440. You won’t believe the difference it makes. cu es 72, Bart W0IIT Pittsburg,

OK, I'm an idiot. I found the mod kit on the back of WA0ITS's QSL card, of course enclosed in my Cyclone 40 kit. I am so embarrassed. Tom J.

I've found that a roll of wire attached to the whip antenna seems to to a really good job on portable SW radios. Active antennas are small and easily portable, but tend to create images and need a

I have some work ahead. tnx de Paul N0NBD

We have had 2 wind storms in the last few weeks. I suspect my Doublet and dipole both are broken again. The last time people couldd hear me but I had no ears. Ill tilt my tower down and fix my wires

No antenna here at my hotel. I got out for a bit today in Western Nebraska to do some portable, but when the sun went down, BRRRRRRRRR. 72, Chas NK8O

My new QTH is apparently Internet access challenged...getting some QSOs, missing others except for follow-ups... XYL and kids are wanting to get a cool key for me...I like the Begali Camelback and

You are totally correct re: theoretical gain...usually, it works best for me...am getting a bid to install my rotator/ hex beam...playing with nearly nothing is really fun for me...just finishing a

Darryl, Does the rig have a built in keyer? Some times those new rigs go into straight mode for no reason. Try a straight key or if you have none take the top of the rig offand jumper the key

Not to state the obvious, but check the cable from the keyer to the rig. It might have gone bad. I had that happen with my prize Begali Spark, even though the cable was barely ever moved and had no

Thanks for suggestion. I haven't changed the jumpers, the keyer was working properly when I took it out of service. I took it apart, found that the paddle ground wire was holding on by just a couple

I spoke a little too soon ... would you have Mouser or Digikey part numbers (or whatever you use from your favorite supplier)? Regards, Tom J.

Anyone using a Tiny Tenna with a Sony 7600? The Sony antenna doesn't seem to offer much gain...I want to monitor 7.030/040 for CW on a very mobile basis...hiking and tent city. The Peanut Whistle 2
