Somebody else is going to have to drive this. The neighbours are home from the UK, so I cannot opperate from home anymore. My on-air activities are going to be sporadic at best. Sorry!

Chrisgraz, I'm not sure how the amatuer pilot and amatuer radio operator manage to do HF. But what I do know is on commercial aircraft the HF antenna is in the leading edge of the rudder. Sometimes I have them seen as a long wire with a drag …

AD1Z here. Never mind why I am in a suit in the snow. This picture just demonstrates that no matter what the conditions are, the Chameleon V1 performs! The tripod you see is an retired surveyors tripod that I picked up at a military surplus store…

Thanks Carl. Now, how do I upload pictures onto this? Every time I click on the "Insert Image" icon, it gives my a hyperlink (http://) preamble.

In terms of a DX net, I would advise on finding times where we can maximise on the grey line propagation. My reasoning is the fact that we are all for the most part using low-power setups of 100 watts or less. While getting into most countries in …

Cool - add LMR 400 and change your life!

Interesting contacts with Chameleon Antennas
VK7TAS here. (Also known as AD1Z, for all of you in the USofA.) Seems to be that K0FTC has been the only one to log any VK's with his Chameleon setup. I would love to do some Chamleon-to-Chameleon contacts with you all. I use a Chameleon V1…

HYBRID BASE RESERVATION
Carl, I don't want to worry the masses, but there's a small design issue with the Hybrid that could be a big problem for those who leave it out in the elements. I know it's waterproof, but I'm finding an electrolysis problem em…

We are a go! Now, as a result of my other problem I've had to move my antenna. I'm doubting how well it's going to work. So ears to the designated frequencies and my eyes to this forum.

RFI???
Yes. Yes. Yes. The problem is not on my end. It's his (Samsung) TV is particularly sensitive to RFI.

FORUM PARTICIPATION
Carl, I am really not impressed with this forum. Typing things in this is REALLY slow. My keystrokes lag. And it doesn't matter what computer I am using. However, on an iPad, it works just fine.

P.S. You will hear VK5DDH/VK7 (soon to be VK7TAS) as Net Control.
