Telco coaxial cable

Not sure what it's called, but this is what Optus use for their mobile phone towers.
It's about 50mm across, but quite lightweight

Re: YPPH ATC Feed

Apologies for the recent downtime of the stream. I've been having some issues with my ADSL router. I have switched to a backup router and hopefully it'll be more stable until I can get a replacement router. Thanks for your patience :)

Cheers, I'm just checking it out and it seems that the SX-200 is a good choice :)

SWR Meters

Hi all, Looking at buying an SWR meter for my radios and just wondering what to look out for? Choice Magazine don't really review them... :) It will be mainly for HF and 2m. I've narrowed my search down to 6 or 7 models from Strictlyham Daiwa CN102L - 1.8-200mhz 20/200/2kw 2 needle $149 Diamond SX20...

Wanted - HF Transceiver

Wanted - HF Transceiver
160-10m bands, budget is $400 or less. Can go higher if needed.
Looking for something cheap to get started.
I live in a first floor apartment, with a balcony, and am not sure what sort of reception I'll get until I've tested it, hence not wanting to spend too much money.

Anonymouse callsign on VK6RAP

Hi all, I was out last night, when I heard "Anonymous requesting a signal report" I replied telling them 5/9, and asked them why they hadn't used their callsign. They responded with "Thanks", then another station who gave their callsign, told me, not to answer calls if they don't...

Re: Shortwave Newbie

But it's only got a 3.5mm antenna jack, not a BNC or other, so adding a decent antenna to it will be an issue.

Re: Shortwave Newbie

I bought this unit as well (Degen DE1103), and think it's a great little unit. Only had it a few weeks, so haven't really picked up a lot.
Looking at the best way of using the 10m wire antenna in a 1st floor apartment?

Re: Foundation Licence

So, out of the class of February 2014, who has got their license already? Still waiting for mine, due to missing a signature on the WIA form :( D'oh!
I'm getting an itchy PTT trigger finger...

Antennas for apartment balconies

Hi all, Just thinking about what options I have for my apartment in regards to antennas? Initially I'll be using just a 2m/70cm antenna, but would like to add a 10m half wave dipole later on. My balcony faces 060 deg (give or take) and is on the first floor. But I have access to a balcony on the 4th...
