Cheers Al mate, love the tank WIP, can't wait to see how it does, when you are up in the cloud's Alan from Luton 👍
Hey bud ill proberly be testing on Monday as can't get out today, need to get the better half to record my signal from the homebase, difficult to find spare time atm., but looking forward to see how it does 👍🏻
Le meilleur est le mien, le Sirio 5000 Ha ! Passez un bon week-end Alan et venez en France et prenez un peu de soleil Ha !73
Would hope one day I get to travel further and would love to come and see my friends In france.
Nice video I reckon your SWR will be way better outside of those towering buildings.
Will be good to see how it performs against the Sirio mobile antenna
I'm looking forward to trying it, will try and make a comparison, but ill need the better half to take a signal from me at the home base i think.
Cool video. This is the first time I've ever seen a "Tank Whip". Interesting for sure. 👋👋
A lot of people use them on the Hills, so it is going to be interesting how I get on with it.A few swear by them. Cheers bud.
Tank whip is an absolute beast. Used one on and off over the years. The swr was perfect across the band
Nice im really looking forward to trying it out on a perch somewhere very soon. Cheers.
Same for me!
Interesting content .. think I have to invest in one of those QRM Eliminators.. 73s CT5060
They dont work for everyone , depends what sort of noise you have and it can be quite difficult to null that noise out, you also need another antenna or a long piece of wire as a phase antenna. Some say they work others don't and if you can get one cheap enough it may be worth trying . Cheers
Great content 👌🏻
The dog in more important than the radio. Now let me think about that! Maybe not, depends on your priorities 😂🤣
He is Bob he is 😜
Dropped by, turns out I already subscribed a while ago 😂
well welcome lol
Great time for you to do this video, just collecting up my radios and 2nd station set up for my cabin in the forest, next to a huge lake, tank whip will going on the roof ,metal roof so great ground plane, last year was on a mag mount, this year will screw into the roof, few weeks yet, still winter here, i had -39 this morning at that location, and very deep snow,
hope to catch you on the radio again this Spring/Summer.

Cheers bud. I certainly can't wait to get out and test it out.
Wow -39 it goes to zero here and the whole UK shuts down LOL
@@Al.26TC101 This Friday morning was my record low temp of -39, 24 years here now last very low temp was -34.
Have a good weekend there Alan.
And you bud👍🏻
Excellent Al be interesting to see the outcome of them antennas , last wknd was a blast , your live streams always go on longer than you intend Al . That’s because you’re down to earth guy . Question for you does the qrm eliminator reduce noise levels .
Cheers, Im really looking forward to trying it. As for the eliminator I use it for hearing signals on my north side of the flat with a receive antenna only, I have done a video on that, but they can work depending on what causes the noise, it can be difficult to null the qrm or noise and how I have mine set up doesn't really work for me to get rid of noise and you have to play around with them to get it right, some say they work others don't. You do need a 2nd antenna or a long piece of wire as well.
@@Al.26TC101 👍🏻
Great bit of kit them tank whips are Al, been using mine for 6 months on a triple mag mount and I can’t fault it. Been hunting through your playlists to find out what sdr you use. Can’t find anything so perhaps you can tell me as it’s something I’d like to try. Scott tc449
Cheers bud yeah ill post the Map here and you can choose which one to listen to, Ill stick it below.

Thats a map of all the Kiwi SDRs I use the Western Super mare one when I'm calling in on the AMC, it is pretty much the one in the middle and closest to Western, Hope that helps. Oh you can just zoom in on the one you want to use, click it and then set the parameters on the page.
@@Al.26TC101 nice one Al that’s perfect. Not on the net tonight, early start tomorrow but I’ll catch you on soon. Keep up the good work 👍👍
That whip is long! Wow. Is it a halve wave?
Hey Bud, nope it's a 1/4 wave tank whip, which I put on Debs 26TC102 balcony a few years ago, ive never really used or tried it. So looking forward to giving it a go 🙂
Hi Allan we could here you in Bolton near Manchester today talking to Bulgaria 73s from Dave 26 kilo yankee 01
Oh wow, thats a good distance on the ground wave. Nice one, I did have my box of tricks running though.
Suprised you haven't updated the 7300s firmware
Firmware was updated not long a go, just before christmas, not sure what version, but I'll check on the Web site.
