I finally got all the parts and pieces to connect a 10m Hamstick; an
Arrow Dual Band and a 1.2Ghz antenna from Directive Systems in
Lebanon,ME...
This morning I hooked up all the antennas to their respective
connectors on the back of my Kenwood TS-2000X and you know what... I
don't hear a thing on 10m; apparently my 2m and 440 signals aren't
getting very far since I can hear guys talking clear as a bell on
146.715... but they never reply to my 'listening' call.
It seems strange that I can't even pickup the beacons on the various
bands... Can anyone out there provide some guidance and perhaps setup
a time to check 10m.... I will try the net this evening on 28.375....
I did get to make some nice contacts while in Deer Isle, ME last
weekend including one on 2m that was 80+ miles away... I was on a boat
out in the Atlantic at the time!
Namaste & 73s,,
