Hi Simon, I'm using a Cushcraft CS50M Magmount antenna. It has a loading coil at the base. The whip length is about 1.25 meters. It works fine for me. Dave WA8RFH

Simon You might try out a 2M 5/8 wave - they will also work for 6 meters - but SSB is usually run with horizontal polorization as there is "ground-gain" to be had, plus on line of site - there is

Hello All, Being the creator of what was meant to be a simple interest poll, Given that it seems to have created an issue and controversy. I will now terminate the poll. Apologies to all. Thanks &

Who cares? Go away and take this daft thread and its associated polls with you. No one cares. We are having fun with our wirelesses. Go away. David

Hello Pete, At the request of the moderator I have taken this offline with Jim. Given your question relates to the usage of the FT817, and not where are you. I hope the moderators do not mind me

Now, THAT's funny. Even if the thread IS dead. Thanks Pres Waterman W2PW c/o Patchogue Motors, Inc. Long Island Ford and Kia dealer GO BILLS!

A regular 2m 5/8 wave makes a dandy 6m antenna Actually, the 220 Hustler CGT-220 is what you are thinking of. And yes, I can verify its performance on 220, 50 and 28 MHz Thanks Pres Waterman

Has anybody tried the DCTL Antenna described by N5FC? (http://www.io.com/~n5fc/dctl_ant.htm) It sounds great - small, efficient, resonant, and cheap. I've tried several times over the last few

John: I think most of your answers would be answered in Feilder's and Farmer's book "Near Vertical Incidence Skywave Communications -- Theory, Techniques and Validation". I highly recommend it.

David, Jim, et al., Kindly stop this thread now. Go simplex. This is not now remotely on topic on the FT-817. Thank you, Barry - W4WB FT817 Group Co-Moderator

Hi Simon, Ccouple of thoughts: 1. The longer stainless steel CB whips can be cut to work on 6M Make sure it does not have any loading coils though. 2. There are also the 6M versions of the

In response to David Henn's reply, I think there needs to be clarification. With respect to David's assertions that there is no ambiguity, ("The Middle East is a defined area, I would never connect

Hi All, I ordered a FT-817 today, having been QRT since 1983/1984. I was GD4ELI, am now HB9DRV. Do 6m 1/4 wave whips exist for the car? When I was last active 6m wasn't allocated (I think). I'm off

For /PP I've been using a 7ah cell on the DX-70TH with a 2.3ah cell on the AT-11. (Haven't been /PM with it yet, but this week. Kind of heavy for trail work, but maybe the xcvr cell will give out
