Oh and here are the goodies I picked up today. A Bird load bank, handles 1kw continuously. And two pole transformers. What are they for? You'll see eventually.... Sent from my HTC6545LVW using Tapatalk

Got my Extra endorsement today. I'll know my new 2x2 next week. Sent from my HTC6545LVW using Tapatalk

Extra test will be this Saturday for me. I'm consistently passing the quizzes I'm taking now. Not making as high a score as I'd like (I aced tech and only missed one question on general). But I think I will be ready. Not sure if I brought it up or not, but my new (well a year almost now)...

2,200M 135.7kHz to 137.8kHz, 1W EIRP max 630M 472kHz to 479kHz, 5W EIRP max (Except for AL within 498 miles to Russia, limited to 1W)

Two years later, I'm studying to take my Extra next month. Probably going to pick up another HF rig tomorrow and a linear. (FT-920 and a Deltron Clipperton L) The 920 will be an upgrade over my 450. But for the package deal price, I can't turn them down. I'm also wanting to look into...

Not really sure on radios in most of the MVs. But the shelter is a logical choice to install gear in... Did some JT65 on 10m today. Made contact with Brazil and Argentina. 25w on a G5RV antenna only 20ft off the ground.

I tried some JT65 on 6M the other day. Did a little last night as well. Pretty fun.

Hope the weather holds out, first field day is tomorrow. Also it was brought to light to me tonight that the question pool for General changes July 1. Glad I didn't get to far into studying that group.

Yup, I'll have: DR-605 (2m and 70cm) VX-6000 2m VX-6000 70cm VX-6000 6m FM (Not sure if I'm going to keep it in 6M since it's limited on use) FT-450 (180m to 6M) Need some HT's too. But I'm thinking I'm going to end up mounting my VX6000's inside my shelter/trailer and making that a...

Test succeeded! My cable came in today. Took a read of the radio. Then opened the file in a hex editor. Found two references to 148000000 (08D24D00 in hex) that I changed to 144000000 (08954400). I was then able to plug away the local repeater frequency and PL. Was able to key and...

The 6K radio is actually a commercial/LE/EMS type radio. Sucker pulls like 26amps. So since I can't do VFO with it and the amperage draw, I thought I'd use it for a base radio since I can program repeaters into it. It can hold 250 channels. So I figure I'll program in every repeater I can...

Right now, a alinco Dr605. But that's going mobile soon I hope. I have a vertex standard 6000 radio on vhf that I'm going to hack the lower frequency limit on to get into 2m. Then load up the 14 or so repeaters I can hit with 40w. Then experiment on hitting more. Since the vertex has 120w.

I made a super j pole 2m/70cm antenna recently. SWR is 1.2 need to tune it a little, but man it's increased my range greatly.
