[NLRS] Antennas

[Jim Johnson]

Hello everyone spring is here and am thinking antenna/tower projects. Am
looking for a small HF beam for my dad so he can get on the air I have a
Rohn HBX-48 attached to the house and am going to strip the TV antennas
off and put up some useful antennas. I have a couple 13B2's for 2M SSB
and FM am looking for something for 6M again small but will likely just
build a 3 element beam but if anyone has something let me know. I also
have a friend KB0BRO who is looking for a beam for 432 if anyone has
something. He is on 6M, 2M and HF right now and wants to expand into
432. He is in EN36.

Was on for the 222 sprint but didn't work anyone heard Bill K0AWU and
Gary W0GHZ but was busy fixing my Icom 706MKII. Had great success with
the 706, HF was dead completely found a bad connection in or on a ribbon
cable am going to order a new one tomorrow from Icom. Its working right
now but am going to replace it anyway. Good thing I bought the service
manual I needed it to track down the cable. The relays on the filter
board were not working and traced it back three boards to the bad cable.
VHF 2M was working but that's all. All the other bands were completely
dead, heard white noise but could not get even a 1V signal to be heard
and no RF out either. The bad cable was between the PLL board and main
board.
