Hi Trippy,

What kind of wire did you attach to that coax and what band were you aiming
to work?

Very 73.

Subject: 2 things, antenna tuners, and not getting messages

Hi all,
Well folks, here's the latest on my hf situation.
I ran a piece of coax from the back of the kenwood ts570, and let it =
hang over my balcony railing.  I did hear some stations.
All I got was the swr message in cw, when I tryed to tune it.
So, that's not gonna work.
I need to know what auto anttenna tuner works the best with long wire =
antennas.
So, any of you use one?  If you do, let me know how you like it.
The second thing is, I am not getting hardly any messages from the =
blind-hams list.
I did get Butches message to me, but no other list messages of any kind.
Can anyone tell me what I can do to solve that, so I won't have to keep =
having to go to the list archives to hear messages?
73,
Trippy, ac8s
