As a novelty, I have been doing some SSB DX hunting recently. This morning I ran across the YL Systems net, which maybe many of you know about, but new to me. I checked in. It is the first-ever worldw

Paul, From the base I believe it is sleeve, ring, tip. Two AA batteries inside. No manufacturer indication. I meant to bring it and the whole box of other stuff with me, so now I can't physically look

Passing along that Tad Cook installed a "new 10 meter propagation beacon on the air Friday, and the IARU assigned a frequency of 28.2833 MHz. It is on 24x7 and runs about 7 watts into a vertical half
