    I've never seen a digital rendering of a cross-hair meter. Interesting. Also nice for analog and bar graph meters. Someday I'll get up to a SDR transceiver. Then I'd REALLY clutter up the screen.

    A now SK local ham had a really neat tilt tower he got years ago. Its called a Buckeye windmill tower as it tilts at the top and the tilt part resembles a windmill of sorts.

      Your welcome to look at my QRZ site. There are some pictures of the fabrication of the 48' Delhi tower and how we made it into a fold over. www.qrz.com/db/va3kbc

      @@va3kbc I will take a look. I only have about 20 feet of my 50 up because I have to climb and do my install, and I’m not even a novice when it comes to tower climbing so I didn’t want to climb any higher. Plus I already get nervous enough when I’m up that high haha. I don’t have enough room to lay the whole tower so yours looked like it would work better.

      @@LifewithJames Well James. I used to climb up my 68' self support tower on the farm to fix the antenna wire. I would stand on top of the top plate. No belt , only my leg wrapped around the mast. Crazy young guy back then. Today I can barely get up 20' on the fold over where the lock down bolts are. That is why I wanted a fold over. easier to do repairs or replacement.

    Don, That was fun! Thank you so much for the help. It looks like your running an RE20 or maybe 27? I have the 320 and don't have the pop filter on it. After taking time to watch the video again and listening closely I am going to add that. I may have been getting to close to the mic. Also some breath sounds in there too. Again HUGE help 73 Jon N8EM

Would like to see the Net grow with more topics by different people. Glad you got all that Vax stuff off your chest Don. I dont pay much attention to the vaccine stuff. I refused to comply with that garbage under threat of termination. They backed down when I told them to f-off. Take away from today is don't trust the MSM. Find a doctor you trust before putting stuff in your body. 73s, KE8WLS

    Yeh, A little wide there. I'll have to see what is spreading that signal out. Not sure if it's GAIN, EQ, or ALC. I'll have to see if I can pull that back a bit. Maybe we can connect again sometime if you'd be willing to help since you have that REAL nice scope. Man I'm jealous. Soon I'll have one (Hopefully) Thanks again DJ. 73's

      It is Thetis software for the Anan. I stream using Stream Labs OBS. The Skins are part of the Thetis background. You can change the background to different Skins that are available. There are custom made ones as well that I have.

    Back in the late 80s I had an Apple IIc. I wrote a high tech looking “screensaver” that made it appear like my computer was intercepting satellite signals. Was real nerdy looking. I would leave it on after school when I’d go out to play with my friends and my mom would come home from work and see it. She’d be freaking out by the time I got home lololol. I can just imagine her going off if she walked in and saw this software running 😆

    I love that radio, one thing I have noticed most Anan users are high end folks with amps and good antennas. I always notice S9 + signals . I wish I could see one video where the Anan user has a " normal " antenna and 100 watts transmitting to the person doing the video , to see how that sounds and what reception they get. Either way I'm planning to get the G2 , in early 2024

    DX has some good prices for Canadians, I usually leave prices in USD and make the conversion in the credit card currency converter as there is usually bank fees also associated off about 2.5% and it is often cheaper than Canadian dealers except for amplifiers.
