Re: Dipole
I have to agree. I tried a pair of 20 meter Maldol whips configured as a dipole and fed with coax. It worked but then I tried a 15 meter wire dipole fed with ladder line to a Z11 autotuner. The tuner

What possible value would putting a 12 v pack into the rig have? You can run the rig at full output power by simply connectind a 9.6 V pack into the external power plug. Remember that a fully charged

Re: Battery compartment (Dave Perry)
I don't think you'd get 200mA (actually more like 240-250mA) if you installed a 12V battery internally, as Frank suggested. I think the only solution if anyone tried that would be to add a separate

Re: Battery compartment (Dave Perry)
The charge time can be set from 6 hours to ten hours. The current is fixed at c200 mAh, so 1600 NiMH cells take two ten hour charges. Email me if you need further assistance. (the green wire mod is

RE 20m Low Power Window 14340~14350 (Band Plan Proposal)
Of course their is a rule for QRP SSB since long times. All QRP Clubs worldwide accept 10W PEP as SSB QRP Power. As far as I know, the new ARRL QRP DXCC starting Jan 2001 also says 10W PEP to be QRP

Antenna Shootout, Anyone?
How about an antenna shootout with an ATX, MP-1, low dipole on fiberglass pole, and anything else truly portable someone's excited enough to bring along? I realize this won't settle a darn thing :)
