The shack
I work 10 to160 meters and have a few antennas up, one homebrew mutiband 43 foot vertical ground mounted, 135 foot multiband doublet and 80 meter delta loop. Homebrew 2 meter maxon antenna. Connected to the outside Amertron antenna switch.
The repeater I can not seem to get a signal to.
WT2TT Tom, and the rest of the guys talk on this tampa machine
with a low antenna, reported to me by Tom WT2TT , wonder why I can't get a signal in to 
a 70 some on miles repeater, hey this is Florida it's all flat right!. Well, uhmmm Must be the 11,206 acres of trees in between , when I step into my back yard I'm smack dab into the Weekiwachee Preserve, ( picture below).I
had to build a homebrew yagi to make the machine
My pc is getting wacked by my mouse dongle?
Lot's of noise on VHF on my radios, from my PC, tacked it down to my mouse dongle , of all things. Well some ferrite chokes, and all is well from s9 noise to 0. Took me a while to track it down too. I put this here so just incase your having a similar problem, you may want to check your dongle's.
Echolink in the shack
the installed echolink software. I use echolink to keep in touch with friends up north, if they like it or not. I know that some say echolink is not radio, but when's the last time you had a qso with
a bunch of guys on a local repeater in sweden? This VOIP sounds like a nonalcoholic soft drink, but i' st just to cool
