their plugs are great quality "expensive" but worth the extra forhow well they last ,i use all m&p cables and plugs now from 7mm for the lower down bands to 10mm for vhf/uhf and 13mm for eme and definatly noticed the difference after changing

Thats the front plate ,back plate,ribs and fibreglass antenna support done just the outer band and mid band to fit and the ultralight dish frame is complete and ready for the mesh .jiuggling between 2 masts and the dish at the moment seems to be taking forever 🀨

I am an amateur radio operator who maintains the real-time HF+ and VHF propagation sites.

The HF map has two modes: global activity per band and propagation unique to the user's location.

The VHF map is useful for showing areas of enhanced propagation, typically tropospheric ducting.
