Spotlight Can't Wait to Take it Down
Can't Wait to Take it Down The lowest antenna is my 80 meter 2 element beam. When I have 100 DXCC countries confirmed down it will come. Just too big--102' elements on a 40' boom. I now have 95 worked and 45 confirmed since 10-04. It's just plain tough to work DXCC on 80m from the Pacific Northwest. The top antenna is a 2 element 30m beam that really peforms well. Coax runs and other control cables have to run about 500'. Anyone want a really big antenna???

Strays Add a Stray!
I'm a new licenced tech and want to up grade after the holidays. I would like to run a Kenwood 480HX. To save space in the shack, what would be the best power supply for the 480? As you all know the radio has two power supply needs. Thanks. Ted KC2TIR tjmnm1@yahoo.com
