Hi All,
I am contemplating putting up an inverted Vee antenna where the center
point is above my house suspended with a 30' Lowes push up mast attached to
my roof with a tripod mast base made for roof mounting. This would make the
apex at almost 50', and with the trees around my home, the end
Just wanted to remind anyone interested in 10 meter AM that the band has
been open the last few evenings after dark. NC, SC, and GA heard here in
AR last night.
I listen to 27.025 just long enough to check for band openings. If the
band is open anywhere, day or night, there WILL be signals
I can see this is the beginning of a long thread since everyone has their
own ideas. In commercial work a sharpened spike above the thing to be
protected is to DRAW the lightning to a well insulated and very well
grounded ground system. This is to protect the equipment below it. To
dissipate, the
Does anyone know WA4NPL ?

Howdy KA5MIR: Yes, I have done the same thing you describe a hundred times,
just in case the band is open. I did learn years ago that the MUF on 10 meters
is rather sharp. I have heard stations on 28-28.5 MHz 5x9+ and could not hear
a peep on 29.0-29.1 or 29.6-29.7 . I have also heard ststions o

Hi all,
I would like to borrow an original Gonset G-28 manual to scan and put
on BAMA website.
Be happy to pay the owner for postage both ways and also $20.00 to use
it.
Must be an original not a copy.
Thanks

Mike,
Thanks for the comments on this topic. At this point I am trying to get
an idea on what to do, and how to calm the XYL about lightning. I still
think erring on safety is the way to go, and mount my antenna elsewhere away

Classic ELDICO SSB-1000 linear amplifier. In very good condition. Purchased

modifications of which I am aware except for commerical solid state plug-in
replacements for the HV 866 rectifiers. O
Someone was asking for large Mossman leaf-type lever switches for a BC TX
restoration. I looked and couldn't find any that big and replied to that

one.
Soo--if you are the person who was looking for the aforementioned
I wish I had your tenacity.
I have a scanner that could be programmed to listen on 29 and 50.4 AM.
Then scramble to the shack and fire up the Gonset G28 or Clegg 66r to reply.
