Live it alone, like was said , will not help on the
receiving end, if you need a difference use a amp.

got an amp but need to kick it harder. I have plenty recieve.
Working
off
an inverted V.

How directional is it?

figures out to be about 80% forward lobe.

Make sure you aim it, then.

great technical answer big guy.

Great technical question. 10-4?

Anyone know how to strap it ( mod to boost output) ?

and you would have worded the question, how? Back in the 60s thats what
we called it. This is the first one I've had since '68 or 69.

You laughed at the best advice..leave it alone.

A 3 element vertical with a rotor would be more efficient. But
a y quad or pdl 2 style beam would be better for dx/ local. Inverted
V will handle a kw, if it's tuned...so many choices.

Don't want a beam for it. Going with an inverted V and NVIS. Only reason for
it is to communicate with the REACT folks who help out with our ham
emergency group and the EMC. And I might shoot some skip now and then, LOL!

Hook Charlie Hugg's amp to it.

Any boost from the radio will only be noticed on YOUR meter.
The person on the other end will wonder why you sound like sh!t...

Hahahahaha!

Why is that funny?

I'm wondering why you figure it will sound like sh*t for one.

That's been answered already, you'll only increase your splatter
with those snip jobs. Leave it alone.

He's right, cutting limiters only increase splatter.
You are better off getting a good antenna, proper
grounding and if needed a small good amp.

Maybe, but my antenna we just put up the tree,

Nope, had a friend that trims tree's
for a living, put on the tree spikes, climb
the tree. Had an Army bigstick on a 10'
mast above the tree, works pretty good
barefoot, you should hear it with the
power on g
