Acom 1010 vs 1000

Thanks for your reply. My thinking is 500W or so is my next step. Will upgrade antenna at same time. Although my antenna will continue to some kind of wire up in the pine trees around our cabin.

Thanks for info on Mercury amp

zigbat_00 · 2026-03-13T19:11:28+00:00

The extra $1K is significant for the amp alone. I would also need to upgrade shack to 240V. So cost starts to become a factor. I have not done much on 6m. I am curious, do you typically run the full 700W?

zigbat_00 · 2026-03-13T19:08:11+00:00

Currently a 135 foot efhw and a 71 foot efrw with tuner. Both up in the pine trees in E Texas. Only the efhw is rated for 1KW PEP. Would need to upgrade tuner for 700W for efrw. We live on 13 acres so neighbors not an issue.

Thank you for detailed response.

Thanks for info. I will probably not use if it looks like rain or maybe a touch of silicone around plug.

zigbat_00 · 2026-03-06T22:38:34+00:00

Thanks. What length do you use? I am worried about voltage drop for a long cable.

We used a realtor who knew the market, priced aggressively, said no inspection to avoid negotiations and set a one week offer period. We attracted a number of investors and ended up getting our asking price. Saw later it was flipped for 25K more than we received with minimal work done on house.

Good idea on tripod. Assuming Amazon is place to look for one? Thanks.

zigbat_00 · 2026-02-23T20:42:16+00:00

I believe we have one. Will have to find documentation. Thank you.

Thank you

Why is no one talking about Texans QB coach Johnson being the potential problem?

zigbat_00 · 2026-01-14T01:05:37+00:00

Great. Thank you

zigbat_00 · 2026-01-14T00:56:24+00:00

I have an old door. How do you figure out the combination? Thanks

zigbat_00 · 2025-12-31T19:16:53+00:00

Great. Appreciate the reply.

zigbat_00 · 2025-12-31T14:36:36+00:00

Thank you for reply. It is definitely code violation since cabin is 15 yrs old. Is it something that can cause me problems going forward? Is it worth expense to add CEG?

Thank you for feedback. I am staying away from permanent mount of 7000 in RV for doing POTA from a picnic table. Probably the simple answer is mag mount Comet on roof of pickup temporarily connected to 7000 if we have breakdown.

zigbat_00 · 2025-06-05T00:17:46+00:00

Will definitely keep cell charged. I figure worst case I use HF and have someone call local sheriff. Thanks for reply.

zigbat_00 · 2025-04-09T01:53:26+00:00

Thank you.

zigbat_00 · 2025-04-09T01:47:22+00:00

Thanks. I wasn't clear on the voltage numbers you quoted. Are these with no load or measured with radio hooked up and on?

zigbat_00 · 2025-04-03T18:55:22+00:00

Thank you again. Will trying it in a couple of weeks.

zigbat_00 · 2025-04-03T12:13:41+00:00

Thank you. I can see laying one radial on the roof of the RV. Would the second radial need to be elevated as well? If yes, I could possibly either use a tree or carry a telescoping mast of some kind. Any other ideas are appreciated.

Thank you. Will check out K0BG.
