[600MRG] WD2XSH/20 QRT

[Neil Klagge]

RR Rudy, sounds like a good plan, and a good time to rebuild.


I am in the process of rebuilding my tuning box. Got it partially working today in a new Rubbermaid box, one that *hopefully* will not become brittle in 2 years like the cheap clear one I had to remove today.


The variometer is in the new box and is transmitting at the moment at reduced power due to 1.5 to 1 SWR. Have to get a few more things back into the new box this week. I will get the swr down to 1.1 or less when I install my variable cap in series with the coax tap point.


Good luck with your antenna work, Rudy. I look forward to seeing you on the band soon.

Tnx for the notice.

Hello all,



I've decided to rebuild my transmit antenna so I'll be QRT for a couple of
weeks.  Given the noise from storms in the mid-west I will select the high
directivity pattern looking west on my rx antenna to see if I can pick up
anything transpacific.



73, Rudy
