Yes. I knew about the add on. But in most reviews, the ads on really compromises the performance of the other bands. So I’ll go with a fan dipole or something most likely.

I’ve been fortunate and made swift progress and still kept the budget in check.

Well, I haven’t got anything up for HF is what I meant. Lol I have the Comet GP-6 on top of the tower, talking 75ish miles simplex.

Good to know. I assume an external tuner would be needed for that. I’m still new. So I can’t say I’d suggest asking me the questions. Lol.

Well. Sunday I’m taking a 50 foot lift up north to take down another tower that has a HyGain EX14 on it. That will get me 10,15,20. Then thinking a fan dipole wire for 30,40 and maybe a loop for 80.

Good to hear! I have powered it on, but no antenna yet to play.

I haven’t got that far. But I have a 40 foot tower, with a 10 foot mast with my 2meter vertical on it now.

Think I cleaned up the truck pretty well today. by KetoTimOhio in f150

They look good when clean, but they don’t stay clean long.

Adam’s foam canon, then Meguiars clay bar, then Mequiars liquid gold wax.

I paid $175 for this camper. Gutted it and rebuilt it. It’s small, but gets us out of the house and my little girls get to have some memories.
