Re: OT: Martin Forrester G7JWR
The ones that I have are about 1 meter each and they screw together in the middle, I will see what I can find in the storage building and the shop, I know I have a couple of new base antennas for the

Re: OT: Martin Forrester G7JWR
Hey Gary! Thanks for the note. I have no idea what length it is supposed to be, unfortunately. But one email in this chain suggested 1 meter? That sounds more like VHF than HF, though. Since you are

Re: Mobile British antenna bases (was OT)
Gee, what a shock that I was sold an uncomplete base that was advertised as complete. Caveat Emptor on me. Looking past all the Forester shenanigans, thank you for the explanation. I will google this

Re: Mobile British antenna bases (was OT)
Hi Eugene, It looks as if you've not been sold a complete base. There should be a plastic nut to fit in the threaded hole in the middle. There is a hole through the plastic nut that the P11 wire feeds

Re: OT: Martin Forrester G7JWR
I have rods for the left one somewhere in storage if you have the correct length I can check to see if they are the ones.The tool in the picture is to install the connector for the cable at the base

Re: OT: Martin Forrester G7JWR
The HF whip appears to be something that just slots into the base and then one tightens the big black nut at the top to tighten against the whip. The VHF is different, but the HF is the one I can¡¯t

Re: OT: Martin Forrester G7JWR
The spanner as you call it is a peg puller/remover from the GMM antenna kit, it is used to withdraw the four pegs holding it down and is housed with the pegs in the carry case. Doug TA sema4radios

Re: OT: Martin Forrester G7JWR
Hi Spence, I can confirm that the VHF whip is a two-section fibreglass type. If looking around rallies and the like you have to be careful that you are buying the VHF whip and not the Yeoman HF whip

Re: OT: Martin Forrester G7JWR
Not ferrite beads, but plastic cup-shaped insulators. The photo shows some of these insulators plus the special spanner for the centre 'nut' on the underside of the HF base that clamps the P11 cable

Re: OT: Martin Forrester G7JWR
Hiya Stuart, and don¡¯t worry old bean, I¡¯ve heard your impeccable morse and rarity of typos (or equivalent of a morse typo). I think the group will forgive you. Eugene! I¡¯m sure I¡¯ve seen

Thanks, Stuart, Here is the underneath (base is sitting in a bin at the moment) of the HF base. https://w2hx.com/x/1986-Tithonus/Antennas/0720201515.jpg I am beginning to wonder if I was cheated out

Re: OT: Martin Forrester G7JWR
Eugene and Co (Evning Spence) I would be interested in seeing underneath the base of each, the Larkspur aerial base as an example had a lenght of P11 cable that had ferrit beads running either sid eof

Re: OT: Martin Forrester G7JWR
Thanks, Spencer. Funny but as an American, I do have this notion of Brits being very trustworthy and dependable. Maybe that¡¯s just my Hollywood-tinted view of it all hihi! For a Tithonus project I

His QRZ page says he lives in Florida? He looks familiar and perhaps he¡¯s been at a UK rally in the past but i can¡¯t say I recognise him. Makes us brits look untrustworthy to our cousins across

Sorry to rehash this. Last time I sent the email below, someone who is a friend of his was kind enough to contact him and let him know I was looking for him. Before the friend's assistance, months

Re: just joined, need assistance with a deaf Syncal 30
Peter, Thanks for your reply. Yes, I have read the manual, finally, but not completely yet. I now know that I must be in SSB when looking for the 1.4 MHz signal at the test point. I do see the signal
