Quick test with a few feet of wire as a loop, indoors to a smartuner on 40m. 5w only.

Lemon and Greek honey here
Let me know if you are looking for anything in the future
It is very well made
I find most things eventually, just keep a mental list and keep a lookout. It can take years
For the retirement shack
There is an Amateur near Swansea that runs a Rolls-Royce Trent jet engine in the back garden.
Getting the hang of this FT8900, nice addition to the shack
So sorry to hear that Simon 😞
Why not?
It's a fork dear
Been looking for one of these for years, the matching atu for the Alinco DX70
Brazing, wouldn't the gas torch provide enough protection with the flame?
What you welding George? Not mild steel I guess
And it's tail has not fallen off.
Did you go to the Marconi hut?
Keep going OG
Your call sign is quite old. I thought it must have been a new license with a reissue 😂
I had some driver transistors fail on an Alinco, I only used it to receive. These things happen.
Got myself an MFJ 901b atu on the way. Had one a few years ago but sold it, this is why I hate selling stuff.
I'll stick with the LDG Rt-100 remote tuner for now. At least you can power it down with latching relays.
Remote tuners are ok but I don't want one in-line all the time
A matching unit for 30m at the coax feedpoint of the g5rv seems like a plan. Just connect at weekends
The display chip has a value as unobtainable these days
You need an ft817 😉
Hehe bit more poke than an A series. From MX-5?
What's under the hood Colin?
Nice inter-G on 30m at the moment, for those seeking refuge from contests.
Coming up to the time of year when I work into Europe on 6m ssb, with the standard ft817 rubber duck. Normally indoors too.
