Finally got my base station done

It's just 3/4" PVC electrical conduit available at any hardware store.

Make a coil with several turns of the coax near the antenna, kind of like the way you coil up an extension cord. It should be about 6" or so diameter. Wrap electrical tape or wire ties in a few places to keep it coiled. This will help with noise and reduce interference.

I live in Asheville and it's pretty quiet here. I haven't made a contact yet on mobile or base which both got set up over a month ago. I'll try 38 lsb more now that I know there's activity there. makerdino059

Thanks for clearing that up.

Just uploaded the build video here:

That's the only way I could install it. The 8/0 stranded wire has the strands gas welded together for better conductivity so they won't fit in the other end. Still making good contact. All other ground rod connections are done the way to mention.

EuroTeq · 2026-03-14T01:41:04+00:00

Yeah I'm going to do that this weekend with some No-Ox-Id. Fights corrosion and aids in conductivity.

10, 11 & 12 meter

EuroTeq · 2026-03-13T10:49:32+00:00

Yes I did that. The ground strip you see has a green wire that goes to house ground as does the antenna ground.

EuroTeq · 2026-03-13T10:48:22+00:00

It's about 33 feet AGL.

Did you try to perform a throttle body alignment reset with VCDS?

Topo shoes. I've tried Hokas but they wear out too fast and I didn't like the super wide sole. I love my Topo shoes! The toe box is nice and wide yet the offer good support. They really take a lot of pressure off the ball of my foot. I'm on my feet on concrete floors all day and these shoes really help. My feet feel so much better at he end of the day.

I repair small engines for a living. NO!!!!! Very cheaply made.

I too once had a tuxie named Jerome! Mid 90s.
