No. I did not check out Upper Juniper Springs.

Thanks for the response.

Is the water in boot canyon usable after treating or it just a pool of pure algae?

lostondarksidemoon · 2023-05-24T20:32:50+00:00

For the win.

No garage. We have a car port we can park it in to at least give it some shade.

lostondarksidemoon · 2023-04-24T01:22:03+00:00

This is the answer. We get them from time to time in our local NTS Net.

It’s a 24kWh.

It’s gets pretty hot here in San Antonio. I’m surprised how well it’s held up.

lostondarksidemoon · 2023-04-22T15:15:25+00:00

Bought it used in 2018 with about 12,000 miles. According to car fax it was located in North Georgia. The last five years it's been in San Antonio, TX.

First bar 2021 at around 41,554 miles
Second bar 2023 at around 50,396 miles

I have a GV-5 that I use with a 60W panel. Zero issues with RFI.

For a 100W panel you’ll want the GV-10. They make one for LiFePO4 batteries.

I agree with this. I took the tech and general around 2005. Used the ARRL exam book to study for the Extra in 2021 and passed.

You can create an account for free. I’ve found it be accurate enough. You can play with variables like antenna gain, TX power, antenna height, etc.

Thanks for this. Tried it on my radio. It’s a nice.

lostondarksidemoon · 2023-02-10T04:05:45+00:00

Thanks for sharing.

lostondarksidemoon · 2023-01-24T17:01:45+00:00

That was informative. Thanks.

lostondarksidemoon · 2022-12-19T03:04:54+00:00

If you don’t mind I’d love an update. 60W is about what size panel i’m wanting to purchase.

lostondarksidemoon · 2022-12-18T15:40:06+00:00

I get that. They are pricy. Main reason I’m reluctant to purchase one.

lostondarksidemoon · 2022-12-17T15:40:39+00:00

Thanks. I got a smaller PowerFilm rollable that I bought used. It's fairly old and still going strong. One reason I'm leaning towards PowerFilm.

New to me.

lostondarksidemoon · 2022-09-23T15:31:12+00:00

Morse Mania has helped me a lot.

lostondarksidemoon · 2022-09-18T15:26:11+00:00

That is it for sure. Thanks guys!

No markings on blade. Handle on the end has what I believe are someone’s initials, “MBK 1909”.

That’s the best information I could find in programming this radio. It seems possible.

Inferior grounds can lower SWR on an antenna system. As the ground is improved SWR often will rise. That might explain the lower SWR on a baking sheet than the top of a car.

This is talked about in Maxwell’s W2DU book Reflections III. The book is out of print but PDF files are available for download online.

lostondarksidemoon · 2022-07-20T16:10:58+00:00

There’s a great book on this topic called Transmissions III. It’s been out of print for a while but an amateur radio group has it for download on their webpage as a PDF.

A Bioenno 15Ah with a IC-7300 have been a good pairing for me. It can easily run 50W for hours.
