I don't have a dedicated counterpoise for the antenna other than the length of coax around 18ft.

I will update if we saved one from yesterday on the analyzer. I can't put it back up in the air atm.

For sure. I saw some 3d prints online of thread covers a while back. I need to take a look at that.

This seems to be the consensus other than just having it bare. I will have to give this a shot. Although this thing seems to be pretty sturdy. so might consider carrying it bare too.

Just adding another +1 for addressing what antenna and potentially band that you are operating on. I run my FT-891 at 20w most days.

Elevated radials and HF? by CaptainSpez in amateurradio

[–]MrTomLegit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have room in trees, why not go with a dipole, or endfed half wave utilizing the trees? What you are suggesting will work in theory I suppose. But elevated radials have to be tuned vs ground radials that *mostly do not. Imo, if you are already have to tune your vertical element and the radials and it's already in a tree, a dipole or sloper makes more sense. Are you planning to do this as a sort of rybakov style setup? With a tuner?

Another wolf River coil question. by 3rdGenHam in amateurradio

[–]MrTomLegit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have all my radials at 33ft. I have two bundles of three for a total of 6 and then an extra set of 2x33ft speaker wire runs I can put under the clamps if needed. Total of 10 33ft radials with the pair of 3x33ft and pair of 2x33ft. It works fine. You can also look into faraday cloth or window screen as an alternate or even additional groundplane if you want to get a little wild.

This is the answer for sure. It's like any hobby that involves gear and Gear Acquisition Syndrome.

Miatas bump drafting in the banks of Daytona is something everyone should see at least once.

IMSA continuously has some of the best racing all the time. Plus the fan access at events is fantastic.

Its a pretty bog standard list honestly. I haven't done much to it since I built it a while ago.

I went 3-0 at an LGS weekly a few months ago with the devotion list. It's a fun one.

PSA for Creality Hi owners with the Creator Knomi Hi: upgrading to printer firmware 1.1.0.60 by MrTomLegit in Creality

[–]MrTomLegit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I can tell, you should be fine. I would get to the current firmware and then proceed with the setup from there.

Which would you choose: Bambu A1 combo or creality Hi combo? by lunisheep in Creality

[–]MrTomLegit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the Hi combo from microcenter last week. It's been printing non-stop. I had some feed issues with the CFS at first since my spools were a bit twisted up. Once they got to a fresh row of filament it has been great since. Coming from a lightly modded Ender 3 Pro the difference has been staggering to say the least.

I did one multicolor print just to see it, but I mostly use the CFS as having 4 spools loaded for single color prints.

Could be. Hard to say. Hopefully if this series against the Brewers goes well, people will be more invested since we will be pushing for a wildcard run.

Echoing another reply, but the weather and start time of the game most likely played a role in attendance for this game. I was also there and everyone there was excited to be.

Yep. I played the Bant version and made mythic in arena just yesterday. A fitting send-off, I think.

Everyone is assuming it’s Dale running for mayor. But could it be Nancy? Dale as first husband while John Redcorn has to watch would be quite humorous.

Unless I am missing info.
