I just wanted to say to this group: I am now KG6TDX/AG

I posted this to the antenna group because this is where I have posted
most
of my amateur radio questions over the past year (and have gotten the best
answers as well!)

I hope to catch some of you on HF soon.

73, Russ



Congrats. You should have a lot of fun putting together an HF station. Let
us know how it goes and of course we'll be here to answer questions.

Dee,
I do have a preliminary HF station set up, but my 706 G is not transmitting
on HF for some reason. My 80-meter dipole is tuned to flat SWR but no luck.
I bought the radio new last January and have never transmitted on HF
(obviously). The last time I used 6-meters, it worked fine. It may be
warranty time...

I have other old radios in the closet: Johnson Valiant, Heathkit DX 40 and
RME 4350 receiver, but these need some tech time before putting them on the
air.

Thanks for the congrats! I feel like an 8 year old kid with a brand new
bicycle!

See if you can get a more experienced ham to come over and help you. It
could simply be that you don't have something set right. We all pulled that
stunt a time or two or dozen. I've been a ham for 12 years (Extra class)
and just this past Field Day I sat down to take my turn at the radio,
switched to CW, and nothing happened when I tried to transmit. It turns out
that I forgot to set the radio for break-in keying. My only excuse was that
I wasn't used to that radio but I should have checked.

Good-on-ya!

Hope to meet you on the air sometime.

Congrads. When you get a chance get the extra. Then
the entire ham radio allocations are at your fingertips.

Just like they were at my fingertips with a Conditional
in the 50's.

That's the next hurdle, Robert. The code was the biggest leap. The extra
test is not easy, but I am planning on taking it by next Spring or Summer.

Thanks.
