I'm so happy you found that hahahaha

Time to make some antennas.

 

Whatchu making

 

End fed half wave first. Later, center fed dipole and off-center fed dipole.

 

Is that a stacked 240 with 14awg?

 

3 of the... 52(?) toroid with 12g.


I can't remember which toroid it was. I'll look in my receipt. It's for the 49:1

 

How much wattage to you plan to pump through that thing? Seems like a little over built for a 100w rig from what I have read. If it's the 140 torrid (1.4 inch), that might make more sense.

I'm going to use a single 240-43 Torrid and 18awg wire.

 

Digital modes running fully duty.

 

Had fun at field day. So far I know of 1283 CW QSO’s in 17.5 hours.

 

Almost there...

 

Whatcha got going on there

 

Looks like a antenna box.

 

I think my dipole worked better.

 

Broken picture link. For me at least

 

It didn't attach correctly and you commented while I was editing.

 

Yeah it's a compromise antenna in some areas. But it does have the advantage of being a multi band. I like running my 20m version vertical

 

I

So far I've tried it as a sloper, vertical sloper, and right now, an inverted v. Just reached a guy on SSB in Seattle. First SSB contact.

 

Stick with it. I've got a couple 6k+ mi qsl on mine.

 

What’s the details on that battery setup and tablet?
