Nope.

Do you have any neighborhood restrictions -- Thanks, Rowland

Since everyone is offering antenna advice, I have a perfect condition kenwood hf radio I should use this time to get working. What's the easiest antenna to get put u pl in short order?

Paul, This is clearly a newbie question…but I’m curious, what happens if the inverted V is an actual V? Where the ends at 30 Ft and center is at 6ft? Sent from Mail for Windows 10

Rowland asked if adding a reflector below his 80m OCFD would improve NVIS performance on 80m. A bit more than a 2dBi improvement at 90 degrees. That’s with the reflector length optimized for gain.

Without modeling it it’s hard to know for sure but I’m guessing yes, it will improve NVIS performance on 80m and probably on 40m. But I’ll model it and we’ll see. Improve things for NVIS or

Right now my OCFD is about 30-40' (don't know for sure). And the ends are only about 3' off the ground. Two questions... 1. Will adding a reflector on the ground improve my NVIS?** 2. Will raising

Last night Rowland had an excellent question about how a 135’ OCFD antenna would work for NVIS, given that he’s made plenty of DX contacts using his OCFD. This morning I ran some simulations of a

Not sure if I sent this out or not but here it is again. A Sandiego ARES group created some nice YouTube videos on Winlink. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-7mirT-kjfs84FQzLr-qv066Kl94rtYM

Most importantly, ARRL needs to sell a lot of the FD gear they are heavily marketing. I like the green T-shirt and will probably buy one, even if I end up in my driveway. Stay safe and stay on the

Thanks. I saw that one too. Irvina

This is all I found http://www.arrl.org/field-day Thanks, Rowland

That is what is on the package the check valve was on. it said 1/2" MPT which I took for the size of the tap. What it meant was Male Pipe Thread. It was a description of what was in the bag. I

Hi Rowland, I don't know what MPT means. I have course and fine thread taps. Educate me please! Hope you and Kathy are doing well in these trying times. Chuck

Ben has been so kind to loan me a tap. Thank yo everyone...! Thanks, Rowland

Hi All, I am looking to borrow a 1/2" MPT size thread tap to clean out some threads on my RV water heater water connections. Checked at Duvall hardware and they do not carry one. Please let me know
