Hope you get it Ken, it will help. For an all around transmitter,
the DX 100 is one of the simplest and best. Quality of parts is
unparalled and if the construction is proper it will last a long
time if care is taken.
I hope to contact you some day too. Listen on 10 AM, in the late

Hi Ken,
How much space do you have? If your tower is 50-60 ft. could you
possibly install an Inverted L? Say 55 ft vertical (the more the
better) with the rest horizontal out to about 160-170 ft and the end
as high as possible. Feed that with 50 ohm coax and use a series
cap in the center

Jim, If I had a little more land, I'd put up dipoles
also. I am however using half slopers on 40,20, and 10
meters. the longest is only 32 feet. The 40 meter unit
tunes well on 15 also. i haven't worked anyone on 15
as I haven't been around when the band is open. I am
just about able to put up a 75
No cable where I have lived in the past 10 years. I have been in
rural areas and there may be only two or three houses near me. No
only that but we don't watch enough TV to put an antenna on the
tower. My poles are used in conjunction with the tower to support
dipoles. I like dipoles better
Why don't you get cable like any intelligent person?
(LOL) I don't have cable I use the 55 foot tower to
hold up ham antennas and a good TV antenna, keeps my
wife happy. My neighbors think i'm Amish (or just
cheap). I am the latter.

I guess one have to ask; why don't you make(start) your own activity?
Calling CQ is still in vogue. If everyone sits around and waits for
activity, that's a poor use of the spectrum.

I heard several AM QSO's this past weekend around 14.286. Also heard some
AM activity on 10 meters (several stations) and one AM QSO (4 land to 9
land) on 6 meters. There is AM life beyond 75 and/or 160 meters.
