- Well, keep in mind it's not a "rubber duck" shortened antenna, since
- a full size 1/4 wave is only 2 inches long (in fact my ICOM 12-GAT came
- with one about 5 inches long, which I guess is a 5/8 wave.)

-
- Seems to work about as well as a 2 meter or 440 HT. I have no
- problem hitting high level repeaters 20 miles away. In forests
- through trees there might be some absorption problems, though
- I've never noticed any. It is prone to "dead spots" (multipath
- nulls, a/k/a picket fencing). Moving a few feet can make
- quite a difference. On very hot days, it can be hard to hit
- the repeaters -- convection currents in the air (the equivalent
- of the optical heat "wiggles" one sees on hot days.)

- There's a 10M beacon list available via email from
- ham-server@grafex.sbay.org - haven't used that in
- a long time - I think you should just write:
- INDEX
- and wait for the list of files with instructions.
- I believe the file you want is titled
- 10M.BEACONLST or close to that.

- I thought that I would add my 2 cents worth in. One year ago today I passed my
- no-code technician. I wanted just to use 2m and had no desire to learn code.
- While I was waiting my 12 weeks for my license to arrive I got a chance to see
- someone who knew how to send code in action. This guy was sending about 18 wpm
- making contacts (Seemed like 50 wpm to me at the time!). After some casual
- observing I realized that this guy was blind. I though how neat, so I started
- learning my code, well within 4 months I had managed to upgrade to 13 wpm. I am
- now and Advanced and love it.
-
- Anyway some were wondering about using the computer to learn code. This is in
- my opinion the worst way possible! Don't get me wrong I love computers, I work
- with them 80 hours a week (programming, configuring etc.) and I thought that
- if I could mix my well rounded computer knowledge with code I could get it done
- faster. BUNK! Get the tapes and learn it that way! Or better yet I had more
- incentive at this time to learn code, I bought the most expensive type of
- code practice oscillator you can get - An HF rig!!! That will sure put the
- bug in you. (No pun intended!) . Just though I would pass my two cents along,
- Do it the way the OLD-TIMERS did it. Listen to it on the air, it is a whole
- heck of a lot different that what the computer spits out at you!
-
- thanks for listening to my babbling...

- Took Tech test Sunday, July 17--arrived today, Sept. 12--eight weeks.
- I had even written on my personal calendar for Sept. 12: "Tech
- license due today"! And, it arrived one day after my birthday.

-
- From: Jim Clark KB0FIR <JIM3804@delphi.com>
- I have used for three years, until I moved a Mosely TA-32JR on a 36 ft.
- push-up mast. Also used Alliance U-110 TV rotor. Bracketed the mast to
- the side of the house with a Radio Shack mounting bracket, and guyed the
- upper two sections including the top. Worked 245 countries barefoot! If you
- mount
- the mast to the side of the house, and get up on the roof and push the
- antenna up, you Only took it down because I moved. Worked great! Would not
- recommend an antenna larger that a 2-el t
- ribander. Quads are hard, cause you can't guy the mast at the top because of
- the quad. Email me if you would like more info. Make sure to ground the mast.
- Worked for me for 3 years in FL! 73, Jim

- I thought I remembered hearing something about the fcc having a telnet
- site...I can telnet to FCC.GOV, but can't get past the password.
-
- At some point, it'd be nifty if they had an on-line, up to the minute
- way for us to check license statuses, as they entered them into their
- computers. But then this is .gov not .com. Oh well.

- How about filling the last foot of the 9913 with polystyrene cement
- or the silicon RTV goop to keep water out? Also, for flexibility,
- can one splice a 5 or 10 foot length of RG-8 on the end of a 9913 run?
