Have you got an HF set?

The museum Im at has a ham radio station, and the guy I normally work with is in charge of it.
Anyways, we were talking to chicago a few weeks back, and that was in mid day with a 250 watt rig. Once the 350 watt tube rig is set up, and if we got the timing right, I bet we could get right out to NH.

I was thinking of when I have my ticket his fall, it would be interesting to try and make a connection with you.
I am planning on setting up a radio station in my room this fall. I am planning on a two meter base tube rig.

Yes i have a NICE HF set,,icom IC-746 :) only 100 watts out,barefoot,,i havent hooked up my 1.2 KW amp in awhile.. :(
only an omni ant rite now.. :( beam is down,,gotta get that stuff squared away again..


what freq were you on ??
 
I know same chassis,but no crank stuffers in 359 right ?

why ?? you have a top end to part with ?? :)

No stuffers in the 359

My assumption is that is what sets the 357 apart power wise

Nope no top ends here

I still want to get a 357/359 at some point
 
I'm glad I was given the Oh17 , I'll just give it away if it's more than 15 minutes to fix LOL

" IF " you can find some sucker to yake a steal !!..

i found one but he STIHL hasnt picked it up yet !! :(

I had some parts of both. I know the 357 crankcase is bad. Don't think I got a jug with it ? Not to much of the 359 is there either ? Thought I had a lot more parts of them ?
Got a nice running 359 , and another I ported ! LOL

I can't remember off the top of my head. He was running the radio, I was just watching and listening.
This rig has a long line antenna between the tops of two very, very big cedar trees. The two running hf sets there are a Kenwood tube 250 watt, and a swan tube 350 watt. The guy who used to own the swan set has qsl cards from as far as china and Australia. (mind you, he did have a massive antenna, likely a secondary amp, and did all his radio work between 11pm and 3am, when the ionosphere was at its best) The antenna is set up for North/south, but it still reached chicago, due east. We are thinking of putting up an even higher east/west antenna at some point. I am hoping to get my radio ticket this summer, and it would likely be late fall before I get to try running the hf rig. If I managed to reach you, it would be the longest connection ever made with that station.
 
My mother in law and brother in law just brought me a lazy boy!

Now I can sit in relative comfort!
