They’re a pain . Depending on what level of technical ability you’re working at , for a dummy like me , give me an MFJ and a reflect meter and I’ll figure it out for the most part . Those nano meters are way beyond me
@@Dallas-Rife-UDX-347-Tennessee I played idiot and passed up a MFJ 269 I think it was for $75 because I have this dang Nano and I don't want to put out money I don't need to right now. Only radio money goes in radios and I bought the DX350HDV and the RM Station 550 so something will probably go on the market. ✌✌
Dallas this is awesome of you ! I've learned everything I know so far from watching RU-vid videos from guys just like yourself. And 73z brother ive heard you in Florida off the backside when your talking out west .
Thanks man ,, same here , I’ve had some good Elmers lately as well . We’ve had Florida DX a little lately ,, what’s your handle again callsign again ??
@@Dallas-Rife-UDX-347-Tennessee Hey Dallas call sign is 717 central Florida. Yea I could hear you a few days ago on 27.385 lsb you were talking out west . 73z brother
@@Dallas-Rife-UDX-347-TennesseeI did hear you briefly this afternoon up here talking to left coast I believe. The DX was so bad at that point even you were down the weeds 😂😂 Hopefully this fellow will be up and running soon. A very nice CARE package indeed. You’re right, we do need some younger blood in our hobby. Harley Davidson has the same issue as this activity. 73s
Yeah she’s got some really nice smooth audio . That’s my goal soon .. achieved by some audio mixer gear when you add it to a nice tuned station 😎 And he’s got that ! Hard to believe he’s near Seattle in Washington!!
@@knucklebuster3 Bone in chicken thighs !! They were awesome,, I had a pile of tenders on there to for the wife and kids . They won’t eat “Bone In” meat , or smoked ,, they’re soooo missing out, so when their meat was done , i added 5 chunks of hickory smoking wood to the charcoal ,, hit it a few sprays with my water bottle , put the lid on and that that hickory work it’s magic ! Best chicken I’ve done this year !
Heard you strong this morning 20db+ into sacramento,ca about 830am pst conditions were excellent for about 2 hours here before dropping off. I was in a mobile and called out (211 norcall) but alot of big guns were burying me. Wilson 1000 anytone 5555 /65 watts. 73s
@@Jeff-sp7bg You heard me , or Steve (483) ? I had a few contacts to Cali today DX was awesome until about 12:45 pm central time . Hopefully I’ll hear you soon 👍. I talked to UDX-534 this morning on his barefoot mobile 5555 . He had a great signal. It’s all about luck and conditions ! Sometimes I can’t get through running this 7 element and a “big block” lol 73’s to you 211 . I’ll be listening for you
@@SVerucci Hahaha !! There was plenty of smoke in the flavor It was delicious. I just finished eating some , with hickory smoked thick cut bacon 🥓 fried in my cast iron Dutch oven and then added cut green beans , and sliced new potatoes 😋 , all stirred up I’m done for the evening !
@@UDX-3030 Very much so . Three radials 30 foot long each off of each tower leg Buried 3 inches deep Each end connected to a 6 foot ground rod , cut off at the top , the top sheared off and under the dirt a few inches, all with 6 gauge welding cable 👍
@@390WagonMaster Thanks 390 ,, I really appreciate it Only God , my wife , and a few Home Depot employees knows what I went through to get that thing right !! I’m thankful it worked out finally 🙏 ! 73’s
