Re: Antenna Thoughts and Suggestions
Bill, 2 meter frequency’s are hard to come by in Texas. You are better off going with UHF. With the height you are stating it will work well.
Have you made the application for a frequency from the

Re: 6 m repeater antenna
The trick is to start with where you go far enough from the exposed end where you find the braid that is still shiny, just solder through goop and use silver plated not nickel plated connectors,

Re: 6 m repeater antenna

Re: Quantar Extender Cables
Actually, that's pretty f@#$ing clever. What I would REALLY like to find, is the heavy nylon pry-tool that M made to pull the modules out of the chassis.
What I currently use is a square wooden dowel

Re: THREAT TO 222-225MHz Spectrum
I’m sure the ARRL is sitting there, wringing their hands and planning the next batch of mailings to go out and pander for additional funds.

Re: Quantar Extender Cables
This is what I came up with, needs a little bit of refinement though on the
width of the board to be supported in the chassis correctly.
I can't find any information on the socket the power supply

Re: 6 m repeater antenna
I've always used unslotted tubing. Get the length set, drill hole all the way through, tap all the way, use stainless steel machine screw. Never gave me any trouble. Have a few in the air for 10-plus

Re: 6 m repeater antenna
Hi Reid,
Yes, neat idea extending the mid band loops. Can't you just use those shredded stainless steel scouring pads (not steel wool) to remove the outside anodizing? I find they work great on

Re: THREAT TO 222-225MHz Spectrum
Does anyone know the STA info and what specific frequency range the license is for? Is it actually within the 220 amateur band or adjacent? Either way its good for amateurs to make it known if any

Re: THREAT TO 222-225MHz Spectrum

Re: THREAT TO 222-225MHz Spectrum
Hi John,
I'm sorry to hear this news. Where is the ARRL in all of this? The ARRL
often claims how much they do for ham radio and how they are the sole
representative of amateur radio with the FCC!
