Julian... Can you give me a page reference in the current QST for the Miracle whip "review"? Assuming you mean the August issue, I can't find it. There was an article on how to build one a month or so

Looks great! I'll be ordering one of those as soon they hit the street. QRP, Ten-Tec QSK, and IF-DSP ... at less than the cost of a loaded K2! I'm in!

The FT817 is fine for CW. It lacks true QSK (full break in) which allows the sender to hear the received signal between the dits and dahs, but works fine in "semi" mode. Not a problem for most of us.

higher finally got the I called Superantennas about this and they said that this was not a problem. Something about peak voltage vs sustained voltage. Been using 2 9v NiMH with no problem.

Daniel, I'm sorry your having such a problem making contacts on 6m QRP. While I've not done allot of 6m QRP I know it can be done. One summer I spent a week in the Bahamas where I worked several

The Superantennas MP-1 mount is an aluminum (or aluminium) plate relieved so the strap bracket may be left on your FT-817, attached to the left side of the radio by four screws which replace those

Our club was QRP this year and I worked PSK31 with my 817 with a MP-1 and Z-11 tuner. Only problem I had was interference from OUR clubs 20 and 40 meter CW stations. They had dipoles at about 30 feet

I think you'll find, when all the hoopla is settled down that the Miracle whip does no better or worse than all other short whip antennas. Any whip can work without a counterpoise. You have to define

Thanks to all for pointing me to file photos. I'm familiar with general need for radials/counterpoises. Anyone have any comments on merely trailing a length of small gauge hook-up wire from one's belt

It's just a bracket with a CB type 3/8 -> SO-239 adapter mounted on it. You could easily make one up yourself. I think it clamps to one of the "legs" on the bottom of the radio. There are pictures of

Well I'm just going by what it said in the QST article, which you've probably read yourself. The first user reports will certainly be interesting. Julian, G4ILO

Hello, folks. I'm new here and will definitely be getting an 817. This little radio looks like great fun and will be bringing me back into the ham fold after many years away. Can someone point me to a

Bill, I'm glad your 6M QRP experience was positive. For the last few weeks, I left my 817 on and around 50.125 with a folded dipole at 55 feet (Grid square FN25) anticipating to hear something. All I

Julian, EVERY short monopole needs a counterpoise - and most of the long ones, too. The penalties for not using a counterpoise are reduced efficiency (greatly reduced, for a short monopole) and

It's a standard, coil-loaded vertical antenna, Richard. A tube with contacts inside slides over the coil to adjust its inductance. See http://www.superantennas.com/mp1.html Cortland

don't know how the heck you discovered that. It sure is neat though. I can't find an RCA female to PL-259 (in Houston, go figure). BUt I can use the BNC and later get one and have some versitilty with

At the web page: http://www.miracleantenna.com/ordering.htm it shows that the first 4 production runs are sold out, and they are taking orders for run #5 to ship on 23 August. Looks like the QST

Julian : Basically you are correct .. electrically the Outbackers are very similar to the ATX (Tapped coil and wanderlead band-change)but in addition to QRO they are also nearly indestructable. I

Thank you, Tony! I will try it later. And so kind of you ( and others ) posting to the files area to use the directory structure to keep the "root" clean. By the way, anyone can create a directory as

I have the MFJ 1621 portable antenna here. It is definitely not the same kind of thing as the Miracle Whip, which from the QST article seems to use a transformer. I lost the sheet of instructions that
