Amateur (Ham) Radio BS and Callsign Thread!

NH? I went to boarding school in NH and the church pastor was big into Ham. WB1CDR was his call. I went to Cardigan Mountain up in Canaan. WB1CDR had a dipole in the attic. That was maybe 6 grade, so around 1979-80 area.......

 

Got my rtt installed and solar but had to give up my ham mount on the prinsu. Are our fenders strong enough to handle a 16” antenna ? I have a hole already in my passenger side front fender from running ditch lights a while back and it would just need to be enlarged about an 1/8” to fit my nmo plug.

 

That's neat! Great area up there.

 

Can't you lip mount it to the side of the prinsu? Or is something going to interfere?

 

Because I have accessories up there it would hit and with the way we oriented the rtt it would hit as well.

 

Nice. I didn't know if you'd have room for this.

 

I was on Cardigan a couple of months ago!

I don’t see why it wouldn’t support a 16” antenna.

 

Just enlarged the hole and it fit perfect. The best part is the antenna folds down and fits perfectly running right beside my snorkel and locks down between the snorkel and body so no more hanging it up on trees (4th antenna because of that very reasonA )

 

Found my noises

There was one on QRZ earlier today with a TNC for $525 I believe.
