Does the 259B tell you that it's resonate above or below what you want? On some hamstick type whips if the whip section is too long and a lot of it is shoved down inside the coil it acts like a tuning slug in the coil and it can do all sorts of things you don't want. You might also try putting the whip out at its longest length and see where the antenna is resonant. Could be it's just w-a-y too long. Tim N9PUZ

Try using the original stinger (15m) and tune it with an ASTU?

Re: Question

Well I took my MFJ 259B and headed to the park with the hamstick and the 10 foot telescopic whip. After several tries at many different lengths I had no luck. I am using a mag mount on my Jeep so maybe that's the problem? I have had good results with the mount when using other hamsticks but I just could not get this to pan out. Any more idea's. I could just order a 17 meter stick. Hey,but what fun is that!

Re: Question
Not only will it work, but as Tim said, it will actually work better on 17 with the long whip than it works on 15 with the standard whip. You can do the same thing with a 10 meter hamstick using the longer whip on 12 meters. I've also done this with the Hustler mobile coils on a 4 foot mast with outstanding results. Never did figure out why Newtronics didn't do it that way in the first place. The "less coil, more whip" approach seems to be quieter noise wise than the standard setup.

16 PigRig matched 7122 crystal sets are not yet claimed. If you ordered a set
and haven't paid for them yet, pse visit this page http://www.wa0itp.com/pigrig_7122__crystal_deal.html My Pig Rig oscillator reached 7122 without any modification, just needed to set the freq by tweaking the yellow trimcap, C26. Mine also seems sensitive enough without retuning of the receiver. So this is a "plug and play" very easy mod. If you have any questions or concerns about it, pse shoot me a note. More and more Pigrigs, and also Cyclones are converging on 7122, and QSO's are taking place. Join the fun. 7122 has become the Group's 40M QSO frequency of choice. Often one can hear " 4" being sent in place of "CQ 4SQRP" How cool is that? Give it a try. Thanx much. ---------------------------------- I love this radio stuff ! 72 WA�ITP www.wa0itp.com www.4sqrp.com
