G'day All It would be nice if the DX was a lot better down in the south pacific, looking forward to more come back for the new antenna. Best dx and 73's to all operators.
Hi Think the ground wave was alive today. 26fl416 Allen 5/5 to me today down here but sadly not able to make it back to you, not for the want of trying from the static mobile!. 73s T.
I need help, i had a wonderful QSO at 02.08.2016 to the Station 26 Foxtrot Lima 416 ....Allan from U K He says i must look here for Contact to send him a QSL Card. Please help me here or send me a private email Thanks a lot PS. Great Site 55/73 13 HG
The feqeuency / channel charts for 11m aren't correct. ONLY the CEPT / German channels 1-40 have the so called "alphachannels" left out (...45 and ...49 until channel 20), and the "twisted" frequencies on channels 23 - 25 (due to a previous reservation and later back-assigning to the CB band). Those irregularites are NOT to be replicated on the band below (channels 41-80) or further bands above and below. There is NO "alphachannels" and also no twisted frequencies. Especially the "printable chart" is wrong in that regard, but also the other freq/ch chart.
This should be corrected.
Admin reply: Hello Pete.
These charts are meant for people who use radios like President Jackson for 11m DXing. For example, I have in my collection a 6 band Jackson with a band switch with bands from A to F. You can use the band switch to move the 40 channels up or down in frequency. If you use such a radio, the chart shows the correct frequency for the channel on display.
As to the A channels, these could be marked on the chart as [channel]+10kHz or [channel]A (+10kHz) as this is the frequency you get when you use the +10kHz function on your radio. (Use +10kHz on channel 11 on any band and you get to the frequency marked 11A in the chart.) But I am sure people using these types of radios understand this.
On my Jackson the German channel 41 (26.565 MHz) can be found on channel 5 on band C.
You can find the German CB channels listed at: http://fldx.org/site/ger-cb-channels.php

I just found u r site,very nice. Hope to hear from you all some time. I'm in the state of oregon near a town called BEND.
Very nice website. Can somebody assist me with the following information regarding the inverted v antenna?
How high must the inverted v be from the ground into the air? What kind of wire does a person use for the elements? If I want to use the antenna for all 27mhz channels, what must the lenght of wires be?
As I understand the plan is for a half wave dipole. Can a person make a full wave dipole for better reception and transmitting?
