  1. my longer antenna for my car arrived this evening from DX Engineering

    but, as soon as I opened the box, I got notifications on my phone that lightning is nearby, 😭

    installation will have to wait, lol

  2. I ordered a taller antenna for the top of my car, 👀

    the new antenna is 38 inches (~96.5 cm), it's somewhat flexible and folds down if needed, which is a plus

    unfortunately, DX Engineering didn't have the specific one I wanted in stock here, so it has been ordered

  7. I know DX Engineering is also in Ohio, but damn they ship fast!

    (at least for things bought at Hamvention!)

    I ordered some parts over the weekend at Hamvention on Saturday.

    The four parts all arrived TODAY by 12 PM! 🤯

    freaky fast!

  17. @f1sls 23 and 33+
    23 for sealing wire and connector.
    33+ to protect the 23 tape.

    When you have air inside box you can have moisture inside.
    I put plastic dip to protect.
    You can try a electrical Magic gel inside the box (I never using this with radio équipements)

  22. My starting point on weatherproofing #antennas #connectors is this video from #DXEngineering :

    (and gosh, that 3M Super33+ scotch tape is expensive in France!)

  23. So. A few years ago, I ordered three 6BTV Hustler antennas from #dxengineering. Eventually, months later, they were finally shipped, via #fedex.

    It seems that I was not alone with atrocious #fedex experience. Troy Hunt (yes, that Troy Hunt) had an almost identical experience with #fedex and import duties:

    Yes, at the time I did write to #dxengineering with my experience. I haven't ordered from them since.

  27. I had a #dremmittbrown moment this morning. "It works" with my #randomlengthwireantenna made of 26 AWG ultralight Stealth wire from #dxengineering. Right out of the gate 1st #pota #parksontheair #QSO with Rob #wc1n 28.5' radiator with 28.5' counterpoise Tuned 1.1:1 with #z817 #autotuner on 40,30,20,17,15,12 and 10 meters. It's a keeper. #amateurradio #hamradio #cwoperator #morsecode
