First, if you really want an authoratative answer, best to ask Diz. As he designed the kit, he could advise you about being able to substitute the part. My own view is that most of the 1n5711's in

Gm group Is a mbr1100 a good sub for a 1n5711? I was short one in my pig rig! They look good to me? Thanks Johnny AC0BQ

I use my LDG auto tuner with a 44' doublet fed with twinlead and a balun with a 10' length of RG-58 to the tuner. Perfect for 40m thru 6m. Mike-WE0H

In my experience, if it is an iron powder toroid, the effect of gluing a broken part will be minimal. There will be some minor drift of its value over time as oxygen and humidity enter at the break,

I dropped a toroid I was going to use for an antenna matchbox transformer, and it broke in two. I've super-glued it back together, and can only see the faintest hairline crack with a magnifier. My

Bobby, I have 4 "favorites", first up would be either the ZM-2 balanced tuner or the BLT balanced tuner, small lightweight and either will tune my W3EDP from '80 to '10. Next up would be my Hendrix

GM Bobby, Yes it is and you'll probably get lots of responses. My current favorite is a ZM-2, but I have a simple and nifty homebrew version on the back

I was wondering if some of you could comment on what is your favorite tuner for QRP work in the field. I use a MFJ 901B and it works great but it is not really backpack friendly. I just thought that

I am hoping number 160 comes home today! kb4qnr Bobby

Dave, Terry, or whoever is taking care of OzarkCon registrations. I managed to accidentally break your nice registration form and payment method. Maybe you should warn about using the back one page

Well I got in kinda early? Mine is 104, about the age that I feel on some of these cold snowy mornings! Johnny AC0BQ
