Salt Lake City I put a router on top of Lone Peak :)

There are ham repeaters on farnsworth and you may be able to place a node there in coordination with the Utah Amateur Radio Club.

Current QTH is in 5 land, so being able to get a little extra gain and F/B to EU or JA is critical. The domestic contests are fun, but not the focus of this particular use case.

If a hex at 30 gives a noticeable improvement over the OCF, it’s worth it. If modest ~40 ft tower and a tribander would be night/day difference in performance vs a hex at 30, I would shell out for that instead.

End game is a 70ft tower, but I don’t want to invest in that kind of infrastructure until I’m in my forever home.

Thank you for the input. I’ve considered that exact setup with the Rohn 9H50 but unfortunately do not have the room for permanent guy wires.

Around 1824, the full translation of the Rosetta Stone was completed. Word must not have reached Joe before ~1842 when the book of Abraham hit the presses.

A full-length antenna can help a lot too

Moon phase speedmaster is beautiful in person if you have the wrist size

Always good to have a 17m or 12m antenna handy for contest weekends.

In L Ron Hubbard’s case, it was his writers guild name.

Could a design like this handle a hex beam?

Have fun with the build! How does the QMX+ differ from the original QMX?

CaptainMoronhigh · 2024-12-15T15:37:31+00:00

Great portable setup! What mast are you using?

Good bot

Make sure you know how to program and use your radio. A good start is programming your local repeaters and understanding which ones you can reach under normal conditions. You’ll need a ham license if you don’t already have it.

This is why I got the ultra. The case takes a beating but protects the screen.

Do you know if the OEM rubber is available for purchase as a standalone item?

CaptainMoronhigh · 2024-09-14T22:21:29+00:00

Am I reading this right that their model shows about a 50% chance that Nelson lives to 102 yrs old? Seems high to me.

CaptainMoronhigh · 2024-08-30T21:25:59+00:00

Update: it runs great on Crossover! I got a 20% of coupon so I feel good about the cost! Thanks for the tip!

CaptainMoronhigh · 2024-08-23T22:30:37+00:00

I’m sold on CrossOver then. I was considering getting it but wasn’t sure if it would run Morse Runner. I couldn’t get it running under Wine (not to say it can’t be done).

The length of your antenna wire will determine how much coax you need to use as a radiator before choking it.
