Hamstick Mag Mount
Before a brawl breaks out, here are images from my front door. There is no way to be sure people will not touch my equipment. The dipole is hidden in cable tv coax which has worked so far. Is it

Re: Hamstick Mag Mount
My truck's no where near 33 feet in any direction and not only do I work 40 meters, I also work 75 and 160 from it. While I don't recommend a hamstick much below 20 meters, 40 on a good day, a 75 or

Not quite sure why you felt the need to flex and get personal, but let me return the favor. From your initial email: "Good morning Andy and all: I have had some luck using large steel cookie and or

I unfortunately don¡¯t have a private balcony. While I live on the 3rd floor tweakers and other degenerates would have access to the antenna unless I install it it inside my apartment. This works out

Re: Hamstick Mag Mount
My best advice is: 1)open the mag mount and secure a 12" wire to the side in common with the coax braid, 2) put some type of connector on the free end, 3) figure out if you are going to mount it near

Re: Hamstick Mag Mount
I was going to suggest a few radials or a counterpoise wire but it was already mentioned by somebody else. There are people who will deny that things are working even while they watch them working. -

Re: Hamstick Mag Mount
You could also try the "Hamstick Dipole" listed here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00STRUC22/ref=psdc_5811988011_t1_B00KO68GCY It seems some think it is good, others not so much.? I did try a 20 meter

Re: Nominal power supply voltage
Hi, I do not want to diss anybody who has reported the loss of the audio IC in a V3 due to using supply voltage above 12.00 volts. I recall that some of the ICs were not up to spec and those probably

Re: Nominal power supply voltage
A simple solution is to add heat sinks - no changing the board (a little bit of metal as a fin works great)!? (You can add them to the top of chips!)? Also, a tiny fan to move air through the radio

Hi, I have used an easy portable setup with reasonable results when on holiday. I too an unused camera tripod and made an L shaped metal bracket to fit to the top of it. I drilled a hole in the

Hi Ken; So sorry if I offended yours sense of proper RF radiation and propagation. You may have also objected to my use of two insulated sections of chain link fence mounted on 3 telephone poles

Re: Nominal power supply voltage
Perhaps datasheet is correct. But with multiple manufacturers , the situation changes. Mist of these are made for pocket fm and tape recoders. They work well at 3 to4.5v. Hence many of us have changed

Re: Nominal power supply voltage
The max voltage for a TDA2822 is 15 volts, according to the datasheet.? A car battery charging voltage is between 13.4 and 13.8 volts, usually 13.8.? A fully charged battery will be higher than 12

Lid is about 60" x 30" all metal and grounded to hydro ground. AA-30 analyzer shows resonant points at 18 MHz and 15 M band also.

Re: Hamstick Mag Mount
A "large" steel cookie sheet would have to be a quarter wavelength square (10 meters or 33 feet on a side for 40 meters, 5 meters or 17 feet on a side for 20 meters) to be a "good" counterpoise - how

I have also more recently found metal lid on chest deep freeze acceptable or tolerable as well.
