I've recently moved and in that process disconnected certain relationships with some folks that I don't want
finding me.

Long story short I don't want my new address to be shown on the FCC database or QRZ,
do I remember correctly that you can do a change of address to a PO BOX?

Thought you fell off the face of the planet. :-p

Can you shoot me an email? Phundle@gmail.com

Hope everyone has been well I've put all the good advice I've gotten here to use and just a few months ago completed my WAS. HI and AK where easy compared to Utah to Montana...go figure!

Anyway I'm noticing the prices on D-104's going up and I wanted to get one for my IC-718 I've seen the mod designs and the Heil kit you can use to change the impedance and improve overall functionality.

My problem is, well I just can't hold a soldering iron steady anymore--last time I tried to use it I dropped it in my lap, really don't want to do that again for obvious reasons.

I googled around and there doesn't seem to be very many folks selling already modded D-104's so I'm looking for someone who may be doing that, or someone perhaps willing mod one for me--I'd supply the parts and make it worth your while.

Any info on the subject would be much appreciated and as always Thanks In Advance :-)

Thank you muchly :-)

Hey guys this is the first big disaster that's happened since I got my ticket. Any tips on what frequencies to follow and general tips on QSP and other best practices?

I just didn't realize that the full amplitude went backwards into the tuner--now that I think about it makes perfect sense:

The tuner has to electrically match the load--which HAS increased thus it has to be able to handle that power.

Well, I'm not expecting a wonder-tenna....but since it's going to cost me FIVE DOLLARS to setup what the heck...maybe I'll use it as a "noise antenna."

THANK YOU.

I guess it's just my pure ignorance of how amps work.  

I have a MFJ-949D someone gave me that if memory serves is rated to 300W.  Was hoping someone made an amp in that wattage range that didn't cost close to a grand.

I've gotten my hands on a couple of 40M hamsticks and I'm thinking of building one of those rotatable dipoles.

I can source the special clamp designed to hold them properly to the mast.

Here's my question:  How do you wire these up? I can't seem to find a good set of instructions online.  The ones I have are just threaded at the end to fit into a mag-mount.

@KA5N
So even this one would blow my tuner?

BTW, thanks for a recommendation on an alternative.

I'm getting my atnennas squared away finally and was wondering if someone can recomend a 300 to 500 watt solid state amp that will work with my already installed Z-100 tuner?

@N30X

It does vary but I get it at different parts of the bands at different times.

I *think* it's coming from my 30 year old RS-20A, could be wrong.

oops


14.0125 mHz

@W4KVW

14.1025 mHz

Does anyone have any idea what it is?  And is this what people describe as "harmonics?"
