I just used the QTH that was given just in case there were some IOTA hunters out there.  I sure would have liked to make the contact but the prop just wasn't there this time.  I will certainly keep

You're right, but we have some LU ops in group and I thought I make them feel better since the Falkland Islanders vote to keep British rule.  It's a big political mess and I can't fathom it.  Kind

Hi being a Brit and sitting at work,next to a Falklands veteran,politics should be shyed away from at all times. Lee G6BFP

Not Falkland Is. .... Islas Malvinas,   Hi !   :-)

Joe,     It was the first time that I ever saw Falkland but couldn't get through the pileup.  I figured that someone with more power might. Oh well, next time. GL 73 Joe KA1PPV  #1482 To:

For the benefit of some of our less technical members, I'd like to say that antenna tuners don't actually tune the antenna.   All the tuner does is to try to match the 50 Ohm impedance of

Hi Mark, I have the 993B and it will tune my 80m OCFD on 160m, but the loss is so high that my modified 6BTV out performs it hands down on 160m. The 993B does allow the 6BTV to work a much wider

Dan, 20-10 are my main interest too. I have a friend I need 80 for, and 160 is just an experiment right now. If the 53'er works well I may get a 39'er, I want to work 'APE' one year. Larry [Non-text

I'll admit to making that mistake a few times. I use FLDigi and and if I forget to clear the log, I'll call the last call I worked instead of the station I'm trying to answer. The other error I

A few thoughts: Personally, I try to give out a reasonable approximation of a true signal report. And I'd want to get that in return. I'm not sure why the stigma against giving or getting a low

Mark I have an it 100 and it probably could tune a coat hanger I also have a z11 pro 2 at the base of my vertical in an ammo box and I am very pleased with both LDG tuners and the support group on

I love my LDG tuner! I had the Z11ProII when I was running barefoot, and I liked it so well, when I bought an amp, I upgraded the tuner to an AT-1000ProII. The LDGs need no rig interface (although

Keep in mind that the old DXers definition of a vertical is  "an antenna that radiates equally poor in all directions " !   :-) Jerry

Darin,   I operate at extremely low power levels so if another station were only being received at 347 here they would never hear me on the other end.  A good majority of my contacts are made with

I really have to agree with this.  Besides the obligatory "599", there's also the IMHO the worthless IMD reports and sometimes even S meter reports. Really  ???  All I care about is making the
