Re: MOD problems
OH! This just hit me...
Some older Yaesu radios had you enter an upper and lower limit after the mod
was done. Like on the FT-209 which only had ONE megahertz digit display

Maybe we could end this if one of the folks on this list, with too much money
that they don't know what to do with it all, buy one of the Miracle antennas,
try it out and let everyone know if it is

Ok, looks interesting but how do they work? Theory I mean.

Re: Small, portable, light weight Hexbeam
This antenna is extremely similar to an "X-Beam."
I have documentation on my web site on how to build your own X-Beam

Hi Bill,
The design evolved from Mike Traffie back in 1992 as I recall. The

Did your friend order the whip version, or the balun/tuner thingy you
