I've always wanted to know how you matched up the transmitter with the receiver! Very cool!

You're running 700 watts to an attic dipole? That's amazing. When I tried an attic dipole with just 100 watts, I had r.f. all over the place and it got into everything.

[@k0wdm144]

It is tuned down to 700 watts because of the attic dipole limitations. It easily tunes to 1000 watts since adding NOS Eimac tubes.

That is just to SWEET! Great video.

Thanks JA! It’s an amazing experience to work a rig like this. You can certainly feel the power.
