the Hi Paul Glad you enjoyed the bear story...ham radio saved our bacon - pun intended ! Next trip to the north will also include the MP1 antenna as backup and a lot lighter gel cell as the Argosy

I went through this! the battery idea came about using the older technology Ni-cads. when I got my z-11 the same thing happened. everyone was selling higher output ni-cads only. Then I tried to use a

Don, I believe there are a number of us in this group that purchased these wall-warts with varying success. Mine throws out so much hash from HF->440 I am only able to use it for charging the battery

Hey Guys I just got my Z11 which works very well. The manual states that 2 rechargeable 9v batteries in series can be used and then cautions not to use alkaline batteries since the voltage would be

Demetre: Most of my operations with the FT817 are "motel Mobile" and I have observed the same characteristics with the MP1 outperforming my previous dipoles and loops. The MP1 seems to be much less

Hmm. Yaesu could have saved backpackers a bit of weight by building in a device to activate detonators. Julian, G4ILO such as

You're thinking out of the box If you can find a combat engineers measuring tape they are made out of stainless steel. They also tell how much TNT is needed to dismantle various things such as bridge

For those with an ATU a cheaper and probably lighter solution (the Pro-Ams are quite heavy) might be to use plain old aluminium tubing. You could use three different diameters that fit one inside

You will have already seen a message here that it simply acts as a bit of end loading. Otherwise, no worries. Really, one need not pick nits; whatever works, works! With a bit larger nut and washer,

Sharyl, I was waiting for some Zen reply like "First use fingers, then chopsticks until you reach elevation." Grasshopper Cortland

Thanks. What happens with the coiled up part of the tape? Is it effectively shorted out, or does it make a coil, like with the chalk line solutions being discussed? Julian, G4ILO

Waters and Stanton have something similar. It is called the Sangean ANT-60 short wave antenna. It holds 7 metres of wire and costs 15 quid. I don't know if it is the same as the Radio Shack one that

Sorry for being a dumbo, but what does "use chopsticks...until you reach elevation" mean? There are no Dumbo's here. I wasn't very clear. I use chopsticks to keep the feedlines close together like
