amp on a ht Barre1951 6 days, 15 hours ago
If you end up using an external amplifier that has a preamp to boost received signals, leave the preamp off. Having the preamp on while traveling in metropolitan areas will make reception worse due to unwanted, false signals (intermodulation distortion). A mobile transceiver is best, but an HT can be used, provided you understand its limitations.

I found this page using Google:

Scroll down and near the bottom of the page, this Morse key is shown with information and more photos available.

That's a nice garage sale find!

Antenna spacing kb9jif on 18/4/13
It's best to have the antenna with the lowest wind loading at the top. So top to bottom, 70 cm, 2 M, 6 M, HF.
