I am late to the party but I would go with all the connectors in the box (if there’s room) weathersealed, and grommets in the holes that lead outside the box. -p W7PFB 73, Don’t forget to smile

A grommet or silicone caulk.

Jim, unfortunately, an indoor patch panel problematic since these cables are running from the shack to the box under the house - I think I'll drill a hole in the bottom to run the antenna feed lines

I would use bulkhead connectors or panel mount connectors. Location should primary be on the bottom due to avoid water ingress. Secondary on the side of the junction box. Leave the j-box cover alone

I have to agree with Jackson here... PL259, SO259 Connectors are not water proof. Not without sealing them up good. Which would defeat the whole quick-change concept. It if

My connections are inside the box out of the weather. It's not super fast, but they're dry.

I just had 4 coax lines installed for my external antennas that are now coiled up in a waterproof box outside (see pic). What do folks recommend for making the connections to the antennas, especially

Nice.

Thanks Kirt! I've got things started with the first listing.... -- ************************* Howard E. Mahran WA1HEM (425) 864 - 5104 *************************

Depending on whether the weather allows me to solder some ends onto my new cables - I should be able to do a 10M PSK31 test with you at 5p *********************************** Howard

OK, I have a window at lunch to tune my ant back to 10m. That means I'll be ready to go for psk31 starting at 5. Who wants to be part of this? WA1HEM KC7QXD Should we set-up a call or Zoom? Some

Great exercise this eve. Thanks for hosting. Turnout seemed great as well. It'd be cool to see the zip codes in a heat map or appropriate. Maybe there are some Tableau or MS Power BI folks out

I'm happy to report _some_ success with the noon net on 80m; I heard voices. I have no idea what they were saying under all the noise but voices were certainly on that frequency and that's not

Hi Ryan, Do you have an Antenna Analyzer? The documentation for the Buddipole gets you close, but it is affected quite a bit by where it is setup. So best to fine tune the resonance

I’m frequently using PSK31. 14.070 during the day into the eve. What’s the schedule?

The band conditions can be wonky during the noontime net so be patient. Someone might go from an s9 to into the noise quickly… You should be able to pick them up from where you

This is a good idea. Also on 80 meters at 3970 at 11:30 for their portion of the noontime net. The noontime net starts early checkins around 10:00AM on 7.283.50 Ralph KC7QXD

we can give it a go tomorrow evening if that works for you unless someone else has time. I have had luck with the locals on 20m at 14.070. Dx goes away on 20 after grayline but we are close enough it

Tune to 7283.5kHz around 11:30a and see if you can pick up the "Noon Time Net" - you should hear some of the "relayers" - and you might be able to check in too -- ************************* Howard
