  1. THANK YOU FOR CONTINUING A PROUD TRADITION OF FELLOWSHIP AND BROTHERHOOD. GOODWILL IS ONE OF THE HALLMARKS OF A BLESSED AND PROGRESSIVE CIVILIZATION .
    I AM HONORED. N8JIW DON SHAKER HTS. , OHIO .

  2. I RECIEVED BOTH AWARDS ! I ALWAYS HAD GREAT QSOs , WITH THE “RARE ONES” ; THIS WAS NOT A “NET”, BUT FUN/INFORMATIVE ROUNTABLE/CHATS.

    I BUILT A DOUBLE BAZOOKA (105 FT. LONG). PRIOR TO MY FIRST “RARE ONES ” QSO IN MARCH OF 2017. IT IS UP 48 FT , IN AN INV VEE CONFIG. ENDS ARE UP 18 FT. THE VEE ANGLE IS APPROX 140 DEG.
    THE ANTENNA SWR IS 1 :1 IN THE MIDDLE (3750 & 7150) OF BOTH 80 and 40 METERS , I DO NOT USE A TUNER , AND ONLY RUN 60 TO 100 WATTS. ( I get 10 over RST reports a lot ; hi hi).

    I AGREE , BUY A BIG RADIO and a KILOWATT AMP ,…… BUT….. …. AN ANTENNA THAT RESONATES WITH LOW SWR IS MANDATORY !! DON N8JIW SHAKER HTS., OH.

    73 GOD BLESS. THE STICKER AND CERTIFICATE ARE EXCELLENT. GO FOR THEM . IT TAKES TIME ….YOU WILL ENJOY.
