Excellent Vid! Really nice variety and honest opinions to boot. Can’t ask for much more. I’m slowly venturing back into the radio hobby since I stopped driving about 20 years ago. Installed a Radioddity QT 40 with a Stryker A10 mag mount in my work van. Having fun with it. I have a way to go before any Amps are thought about. I would like your opinion for a Base antenna though. Project for the warm days next summer. I will be starting out with AM mostly and 11 meter. I’m thinking about going with the Sirio 827. Any opinions are greatly appreciated. Merry Christmas to ya, Ground Control 204. Thanks again for sharing!
Hey Mr. Proctor, thanks for tuning in sir. Since you do have some experience in the hobby I would definitely say that Sirio antenna will do just fine, great skip talkers as well. Remember, the first wavelength above ground is just over 36 feet, so try to mount the antenna close to that as possible or even higher . 73 👋🏻
You will never catch me using anything more. Anything more than a 2x8 My builder Just got through repairing mine. I wish I could share the repair video. With you have, but you have to be a member of his channel. As soon as he will take an order. From me , i'm gonna have him build me a new one where I'll have a backup.
Thanks for tuning in sir. Yes, the Antron 99 is a good entry level antenna, easy to assemble, easy to mount and also comes pre-tuned from factory. Now, of course there are better antennas out there that are more complicated but the Antron is the easiest for any first time base station. Happy holiday 73👋🏻
I have a few fatboy amps that could use a little upgrading.. those tiny wires get hot as hell in there and I’m getting some feedback after keying down on one of the 4 pills any of this something you’d be interested in working on?
@@ChristiannTyler recheck your spelling sir, that’s my only email and also I’ve gotten plenty of other emails already today so for sure this is my email address. Groundcontrol204@icloud.com
Talked to a feller on 32 yesterday. 50db over. But couldnt understand a damn thing he was saying. All muffled and mumbled together. Bad audio in = bad audio out.
Ground Control you are solid state A one of a kind and that's a fact and if there's one thing I've learned from you over the years is keeping it real and clean and all I had to do is follow your lead and all your experience and now my shit is solid state and sounding good, just catching up on your videos that I've missed lately since I've been so fucking busy with life, I hope you and the family are doing good and belated happy New Years Ground Control and 73's from Canada💯🇨🇦
