Hi Bob, I have no idea. Perhaps yours is just outside of the range of the Mark V. I have the MP (plain type) as does Doug WB6ROH. I note that the Quadra...
Hi Mark, Make that not 7 bands, but 8 bands. I have worked 6 m with it also using the FT-847 and FC-20 tuner. WAIT, Doug WB6ROH just email me that he has use...

I AM SHOCKED! I always assumed that ham operators were tough, rugged individuals who were unstoppable in their desire for HF and DX. Given this deep-felt...
Wait a minute now Herb, I seem to recall you wimping out because of a little bit of rain. :-) FWIW, I urge each of you to install either the air balun (RF...

Hi Barry, I'm English so wouldn't know what term the Aussies would use (you wouldn't think it was the same language). As well as 5U1A also managed to work S9LA...
Vacuum, yes. Clear, blue? No. Hexbeam #203 flies. WX was 14F, 40mph wind, snow. A blizzard blew in while I was up on the roof. That's what you get when...
