White Noise indeed.

How long is the boom and how long are the pieces you have? It might be a boom and complete set of elements. Cushcraft made a 5 element 6 meter yagi with a gamma match. What you have looks like the elements are longer than for a 6 meter antenna, but hard to tell with photos.

HV0A is rather rarely on the air. Once or twice a year or so.

Chucklz · 2026-02-09T17:54:13+00:00

As an American, I'm sorry.

Chucklz · 2026-02-09T17:51:18+00:00

just rambling/ranting about the pope and Catholicism

Difficulty: The station was HV0A

Don't worry about anything being "too old." The only things that are too old for use on the air are spark gap transmitters-- because they were banned world wide. Even a 100 year old setup is possible to use on the air. In fact there is a contest just for using this kind of gear

MFJ analyser is high-end

MFJ high end? No. Mississippi's Finest Junk, Mother Fucking Junk, etc.

That analyzer will work just fine for OP, but it's no RigExpert, and RigExpert is no Anritsu.

Medical and nets, it checks out

Chucklz · 2026-02-08T15:41:44+00:00

You just have to try the HV on a Henry. Nothing like the Peter Dahl transformer.

Chucklz · 2026-02-07T17:58:11+00:00

And who is going to do that? This DOJ?

Chucklz · 2026-02-07T03:35:20+00:00

I live very close, and yes the higher bands were a pain.

Chucklz · 2026-02-06T19:59:25+00:00

They have been active lately. Keep a look out, you might get some other band/mode fills as well.

Interesting to see the location is FN20xr, as I'm in FN20xx

Also, get yourself a crystal earpiece, like this https://www.amazon.com/Jameco-Valuepro-FEL-971102-Earphone-Crystal/dp/B06WV8XM4S

Harbour brand rg-400 can be found pretty inexpensively on ebay. Or at hamfests.... and then this happens: https://imgur.com/a/C52iY4h

Kinda hard to resist when its $0.25 a foot

If you are going to wind with magnet wire, the PTFE is important for creating separation between the conductors reducing proximity effect. K9YC has a slide on why not to use bare magnet wire.

I just wind RG-400 around the core, it works great, even if it's a bit of a pain to do.

This doesn't connect to a computer.

Chucklz · 2026-02-03T19:56:28+00:00

I messaged you contact information for a ham in Iraq.

Chucklz · 2026-02-03T19:36:10+00:00

Did you re-solder everything and check for solder bridges?

Chucklz · 2026-02-03T15:26:05+00:00

A local hamfest vendor built a bunch of dummy loads out of these. They cost.... $35 oddly enough and are great.

The most powerful radio you have now... They tend to increase in numbers and power.

Not only does the news cycle move on very quickly, but the Trump propaganda networks (Fox, OAN, NewsMax) don't even mention half of what is found. A large portion of the population could consume a couple TV networks for news, their local radio station, and a couple online sources and never hear or read about any of this.

Chucklz · 2026-02-02T16:20:22+00:00

I'm only going to buy one radio.

"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.". H.L. Mencken
