75-90hp Kahlenberg Oil Engine on the Elsie J
Переглядів 3,5 тис.10 років тому
"The ELSIE J. is a 48 ft. x 13 ft. fishing tug that was built by the Burger Boat Co. in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, in 1945 for Chris Jensen of South Haven, Michigan. The Elsie J. has undergone several changes over the years to include the addition of the pilothouse and modification of the stern for passengers. Chris Jensen began commercially fishing aboard the Elsie J. just after taking delivery of ...
Honda CT90 kick start

Carb leak fixed! It was missing a gasket and an o-ring. I might be a tiny bit off on the float adjustment. I also took the downtime to install a DID chain.

Leaky carb! Yes, I know I'm missing a float bowl screw...however, that shouldn't cause a carb to leak from the overflow, the front of the carb, and out the slider jet.
Elsie J - To the Rockaway!

Heading out for a SCUBA dive on the Rockaway shipwreck, aboard the 1945 Tug, the Elsie J. I meant to say NORTHWEST of South Haven by the way. Also, I apologize for the unsteady cam. It was not exactly calm seas on Lake Michigan.
Ozzie the tuxedo cat, and his favorite toy
Переглядів 7613 років тому
For some reason, his favorite toy is my bluegill pole with a mini bobber attached. He'll play like this for hours and jump all over the room. If I leave bobbers out, he'll pick them up and carry them all over the house. There's no hook by the way! It is just a bobber.

Maco V58, Diamond F23A, and the Antenna Farm
Переглядів 10 тис.13 років тому
Maco V5000 (V58), tuned for 10m, about 31 ft off the ground Diamond F23A 2m vertical Homebrew 5-el 2m yagi 40 ft Rohn AX tower It's a work in progress, so bare with me here. In the near future, I plan on putting up a 10-80m dipole (I need to ask my neighbor if I can borrow their tree), and an inverted-L for 160m. I also plan on putting up a 3el 10m yagi on the bottom of the tower. I still need ...
ZS1ZY 10m, 23rd October, failed contact
Переглядів 28113 років тому
Huge pileup! Des, ZS1ZY, from South Africa, would have been a 9136 mile contact if I got it. I sadly, could NOT break the pileup for the life of me. Then again, he's running a horizontal 2 el yagi, and I'm running a 5/8 vertical, so I guess it makes sense. Better luck next time, 73. FT101EE to Maco V58 fed with RG8U coaxial cable. No tuner!

Nice chat with two local guys, K8FDX Kenny KC8TWW Bob. Both less than 15 miles from me. Just goes to show you how unpredictable 10-meter band is? Poor Bob was having some issues with his transceiver! FT101EE running about 130w output, Texas Ranger mic, 100ft RG58AU, to Maco V5000 5/8 wave antenna.

HAM + CB Roof Antenna Tripod Install
Переглядів 20 тис.14 років тому
Finished product of my 3ft roof antenna tripod. Unsure of whether to add another mast (~12 ft total height), then put the Sirio 827 10/11m vertical on top of that (21 ft height). Or add two, maybe three more masts on top (~16-20 ft total height), and guy-wire it.
Yaesu FT270r 2M Handheld
Переглядів 13 тис.14 років тому
My new Yaesu FT270r 2M handheld radio. Works great! I'm surprised by the clarity, and how LOUD the audio is. It's very compact, durable, and is apparently waterproof for 3 ft / 30 min! Listening to a traffic net on March 5th, 2010, ~9pm, off the Benton Harbor / St. Joesph repeater in Southwest Michigan.

Baby Guinea pigs! Mother warning me...
I'd go just to ride in the engine room!
Needle and seat are stuck
Thinking about doing this with a cb antenna ground plane. Should I guy wire it? Going on second story roof
AIR CHOKE ❓🤔 NEVER SAW THAT B4
That is what I'm dealing with right now as well. What was your solution?
The ugly balun (choke) remains wound around the PVC pipe, search online for ugly balun, prevents feed-line from coupling with the antenna. Keep up the good work Rekindling The Reformation !!
Did you make sure your float doesn't have a leak in it? I have the same carb and can hear a little bit of liquid inside if I shake it just right.
That would'nt last a year where i live im on the east coast of the uk by the sea the wind can get brutal, seen too many snap. yes its a better antenna than most fibreglass ones but i would be replaceing somthing like that every year.
Does tripods work good?
How did you ground / do lightning protection for the Diamond F23A? I want to do the same thing and have the same antenna. Please help
looks a little cold for a pool
@canttelthetime Yes, they are AM only! The Cobra 148 GTL is AM/SSB. It's quite the opposite here, we're only allowed AM/SSB (4w / 12w) on 26.9 thru 27.4 mhz. Probably about 80% of what's on the airwaves here is AM. I hear you guys have 26.9 through 27.9 mhz? Very cool. Happy dx'ing.
hey good video, was looking at one of these radio`s on ebay, but now i have seen your video i can see its on am, here in the uk am is illegal, only fm here, its a lovely looking radio.
@magicman11964 Hi there, thank you for the comment. I actually upgraded to RG8U about a month after this video. The losses for RG58A/U were much too high on ~28 mhz. Stay tuned, I will have some new videos of my tower up very soon.
your antenna install is gud, u should have used rg-8u or rg 213.you give alot of tvi with rg-58u.
@EdWatts KD8NPB, thank you! I don't use CB band much anymore.
Of course, you'll get a license to transmit on ten meters...right?
@cj691 The mast is vertical, give or take about 5 degrees of lean. I got it almost perfect with a level. The roof top itself is another story. Due to the addition, there's less slant on the south side than the north.
It doesn't look plumb in the video... but I'll chalk that up as an illusion.
@GMSamuelRhine 15-20 minutes. He was S7-S9+ the whole time, it was really frustrating. Especially when it's different people asking the same questions over and over again.
Great video. Thanks for posting it. I work in a semiconductor maintenance shop and we have both of your videos saved. I think I am going to get a Maco for my base.
@ethanotemo I'll blast him out of the sky with 1.5 kW.
how can santa land on your roof stupid!!!!!
@JGFowler121 Alright, video is up.
@JGFowler121 Thank you for the reminder. I'll do one this week. I'll have to say, it works quite well. In the past 30 days, I've worked almost all of South America.
Nice video. Do you have a followup video you can post, showing your setup completed?
@alexgotti1 Hihi! I need to do a new video, as my antenna is officially installed! Maco V58 on top of 15 feet of guyed mast. Worked Mexico on 10m today, 1636 miles, 5-9 both ways on 130w.
@marco020485 Mine's actually still caked in mud from some..uh.."serious skywarn activity". Needless to say, it was a little muddy outside that night.
@control725 Agreed!
@Binky40SW I'm one of "those" open-carriers. =P I have my CPL though, so it really doesn't matter how I carry in the great state of Michigan. I like OWB holsters a lot though! They're very comfortable. Very true though, I'm begin into emergency preparedness...hence why I keep buying radios that are built like tanks!
@Binky40SW I actually carry a Springfield 1911A1 GI. It's a little modified though, just a few drop-in mods, and Pachmayr grips. Thanks for watching. =)
Make a video? I'm not too sure what might be wrong... If all else fails, consult your manual.
F[L] The button below the xmit button Dial that to Lvl 1 or higher using the lower knob Press xmit to save Try scanning again, it should work. It'll stop whenever it senses a signal.
You have to have the squelch turned on, at least Lvl 1.
That's the easy part! Go to your memory where you've got all your frequencies / names saved. Push and hold either the up arrow, or down arrow. It should start scanning. If you want to reverse directions, just click the 2nd dial once in a direction.
Tune in freq. Press & Hold "MR/MW" Select which slot you want it to go in with the dial Press "MR/MW" Naming: Press "F L" Press "0 / Set" Dial to "29 - NM WRT" Press "F L" Press "F L" again to delete current name Use dial to select # / letters, press FL each time you're done with a letter Once the box is full, press the transmit button once
Passed my tech exam on 3/21. =)
@trondklock There's a pitch adjust? I'm still trying to figure this beast out!
Thank you! More to come after I get my callsign. I'm coming from CB, so I'm trying to get acclamated to the equipment, and listen to whatever I can find on the air so I can get used to the transmission protocol. Once I feel confident with my abilities, I'm going to go take the technician test. Hope to catch you on the airwaves sometime! =)
Yeah, Travis treats everyone really well. I think that's half of his popularity. The other half, of course, is that he wins a lot. I talked to him for about two minutes a couple years ago at STPR; great guy.
aHHHHH THATS SO FUNNY!!!!
