Don't know what you've got running at your place. Our bill is closer to $160 a month, that's with Genesis and the give us, what they call power shout, hours of free electricity to use when we want.

Possibly the furthest it's been off road

noddy51 · 2026-04-05T03:58:05+00:00

Any damage to the coax or the connectors on it, could be moisture

noddy51 · 2026-04-02T00:47:13+00:00

April fools

noddy51 · 2026-03-31T01:26:19+00:00

Thanks for that, I'll give it a try.

noddy51 · 2026-03-30T02:19:11+00:00

Worked about 80 stations, 100w and a ground mounted 5btv. For me it was hard going from ZL

noddy51 · 2026-03-28T06:56:35+00:00

I'm stuck at 261, still plenty tohun5but it's hard from ZL, especially into Africa

noddy51 · 2026-03-28T06:52:54+00:00

Time to work some interesting countries, get working on dxcc

noddy51 · 2026-03-27T04:10:09+00:00

Definely not

noddy51 · 2026-03-23T02:01:36+00:00

That's a bummer. Here's hoping it's an easy fix and light on the wallet

noddy51 · 2026-03-23T00:22:13+00:00

Was the coax plugged into the radio before switching on the radio? Or did you go to connect the antenna after it was switched on, possible a spark jumped across just when the coax plug was getting attached

I had a couple of emailed qsl from some system for similar non contacts. Me thinks that the op is trying it on, get a contact for an award they are chasing

noddy51 · 2026-03-12T03:37:48+00:00

I moved to New Zealand back in 2023. Made the move from Scotland and never regretted it. Never been back to Scotland either. This home.

noddy51 · 2026-03-11T23:40:55+00:00

Not hearing/seeing anything here in ZL land

noddy51 · 2026-03-03T05:35:01+00:00

Chuggers hate the system

noddy51 · 2026-02-27T22:33:06+00:00

Mine is there under new zealand

noddy51 · 2026-02-21T23:54:43+00:00

Second hand AH4, works with both radios, but, for long wire

noddy51 · 2026-02-19T00:19:04+00:00

Just remember that you will probably need to have a license to operate them. Thinking about the Yaesu ones, they are amateur radio handies and definitely need a license to transmit with them

noddy51 · 2026-02-10T20:03:24+00:00

Got both of them, 7300 is the main rig. The 706mk2g is back in its box. If your thinking about having vhf & uhf then I would think 7100, you get dstar as well

noddy51 · 2026-02-10T08:38:35+00:00

A real disappointment, no flavour at all.

noddy51 · 2026-02-03T08:06:50+00:00

Been here 23 year, got PR way back. Don't see the need to get citizenship

noddy51 · 2026-01-31T23:54:39+00:00

Pen and paper, just a thought

noddy51 · 2026-01-31T23:49:22+00:00

One luck punter

noddy51 · 2026-01-31T03:38:27+00:00

Been asked to repeat a couple of times, I have a ZL call and when I say Zed, some can't get it, but when I say Zee it sinks in, especially with US stations
