- Still have to do a little fine tuning to the driven element in about two weeks when the boom truck can make it back . I went from almost no reflect to about 5 watts ,
But I can live with it for now and call it a huge win
with that setup, and 600 watts......Everybody will hear you! Great work Dallas, I can't wait to hear you on the air.
Thanks 151 . Appreciate the support
It feels like it took a year instead of 3 months
That’s a beauty!! Look forward to catching you on air soon 73s 176 Scotland 🏴
Thank you 👍
Thanks for stopping by
WOW!! Amazing!! Outstanding work Brother!!!!
Big Jay !! Finally ,, it’s back up . A few minor details to work out but it turned out really good . No mishaps , nothing broke , everything went as planned . God bless and 73’s 😎
Looks awesome, Dallas. Been on the radio for 5 decades. Still working at improving and rearranging things. Put my ground plane up in the dead of winter.
20° and twenty mile an hour winds, ladder stuck through the snow and ice, fingers constantly frozen. They call us diehards. I call us dedicated. Hopeful future contacts. 73
😑🦗
Right on !! I worked in this until dark several 35 degree evenings through the winter . I get it !!
Hey Dallas, that beam is a monster! Great job!!! Can't wait to hear you on the air
Thanks 302 ,, I look fwd to it 😎
Awesome job, Dallas... Good luck with the DX'ing. I am sure you will do exceptionally well.
I appreciate it Andy , thanks for the support .
Big hammer there ! Good work man. Cheers
Finally 👍. 73’s 267
Cheers back to you
Looks great Dallas, ill be listening for you!😏👍
Thanks 4570 😎
That should do the job.😂 I’m thinking we can talk one of these days here in AZ. 73s !
Thanks for stopping by
Yes I talk to the Phoenix area almost every day , we have a direct line with them it seems . I’m not familiar with AZ, but the Tucson and Phoenix area is always S5 at a minimum on me
Good stuff. I'll be listening for you out there. Looking good, awesome antenna. Cheers
Looks awesome
Thanks , I appreciate it
Oh yes! Nice setup Dallas.
Thanks 390
Appreciate it
Awesome job brother!!! Cant wait to hear you on the air!💪
Thanks man . There’s were some days I was wondering if this day would come , couple element adjustments in 2 weeks when the boom truck comes back and I’ll get it back down flat again . It’s very acceptable like it is , for what I’m running , but it’s frustrating going from no reflect to 4 to 10 watts , etc ,, it’s flat on 28 🤦🏼♂️
But as I said , I’ll get it near perfect again soon for the upper channels
73’s
Congratulations man...all that hard work finally at the finish line!!! I wouldn't sweat over 10w reflect from 600, thats still like 98.6%...but yeah man, I know what you mean.
Congrats again brother.
@@alucia924
I really appreciate it
It’s only about 10 watts at 1K out
Less drive from the Icom into the straight 6 , just normal voice talking , about 550 out and 4 reflected,, I’ll run it like that to be easy on the heater
But I will get it flat again or close so I can roll out the big heater 😎
Thanks again and I’ll holler at you soon on the ☎️
That rocks, Man! 👍
Thanks , it’s been a lot of work !
But it’s paying off
That looks awesome! Great work
Thank you Sir
Appreciate it !!
Super Nice!!!
Thanks Ken , appreciate it
73’s

Thank you Sir .
It was as much work as it looks but well worth it and very rewarding
Nice , congratulations 73zss
Right on 😎
Appreciate it
Now I just need to get my new tower. Put into the concrete and get it assembled. And then get my beans up myself
It don’t happen over night , but I’m proof , slow n steady wins the race
Took me exactly 3 months and a day , from the day I took everything down and started over from scratch . Work, weather , family , and sleeping in between . But it’s done other than one more boom truck visit for a fine tuning . It changed a little once up in the air . But I’ll get it flat again like I had it at 10 feet
73’s ,, thanks Mark
nice
Thanks Mark. Hope to he’s you soon
Hello Dallas. This is 2World Radio 2022 here in Sparta TN. Would like to pick your brain on the hairpin match before I start on my 5 element.
No problem ,, I learned a lot
But from my experience you probably won’t need it at all if it’s a Maco Spec 5 element, using the direct fed method with a 1:1 balun . I have some good info to share
I’d be glad to help you
Get my number from Donkey Stomper if you can . If not message me back on here and I’ll put my digits here 👍
awesome!!!!
OH Heck Yeah!! Very massive!! (That's what she said) LOL Nice Job Brother!
Thanks Chris , it turned out great

We know that movie !!
TBI will issue a Silver Alert for anyone with a Pacemaker and prone to seizures for a 800 mile radius. I’m pretty sure that includes DC, so we’ll know soon.😂
Also, awesome job! I know you’ve waited years for this opportunity and once all is said and done, you’ll definitely be deserving of the perseverance and work you’ve put in. That includes Home Depot visits and Tourette’s syndrome moments! Deebo reaching out to the world brother!! 💪🏻

beauty! I already know it sounds good in the cactus patch. 73 406.
Thanks Scott , I appreciate it 👍😎
Very nice, do you have any footage of it going up? Would like to see that
No , not of it actually raising on the boom lift I don’t think . I was too busy being nervous praying it didn’t fall to record lol
Haha yeah i bet it was nerve wracking
@@dronenuts1156
I was watching from the ground and it looked pretty high
I can imagine from the bucket
He’s coming back in two weeks , I’m going up in it to make an adjustment or two on the driven elements, it changed a little from my 10 foot test pole , but not much
and while I’m up there , I’ll hang a couple dipoles for 40/80 meter .
Nice work, wish i could have a setup like that. The neighbours wouldn’t be impressed, dont think theres enough room to stand that bad boy up in my garden.
Good luck, 73’s
Yea I'll bet your TV gets all channels... Everywhere....
It’s for radio . CB radio , and a couple of the amateur radio (ham radio) bands
