| EATON ARC FAULT BREAKERS | KJ5GY | on 29/11/23 |
| I just started to use my 100w Kenwood in my house for the first time and Eaton breaker tripped. I saw that this has been a issue with a lot of Hams and ARRL said they had gotten with Eaton and they said they would let ARRL know when a new breaker came out. Long story short I called Eaton to complain. They sent me 2 new breakers for free and said that this would fix the issue. I will install them in my house this weekend and see if what they said is true, If so if you still have issues this may be the fix I hope. My house was built in 2018. KJ5GY |

| VHF folded dipole array freq. adjust | KJ5GY | on 28/5/15 |
| I have access to a commercial 4 stack 156 mhz folded dipole array that we would like to convert for 147.5 mhz for a repeater use. Are there any simi-simple ways to convert this array for this use? Thanks Jeff | ||
| Long run 450 ohm ladder line | KJ5GY | on 12/9/14 |
| Thanks for the reply although it is not really what I wanted to hear. I will be doing a lot more reading to see more options. things would not be so problematic if I were not in a valley closely surrounded by ridges. One thing I miss about Louisiana is that there was nothing in the way of my signal. Thanks | ||
| Long run 450 ohm ladder line | KJ5GY | on 11/9/14 |
| I moved to south central Kentucky from south Louisiana and wanting to set up a station again. My shack is now located near the entrance of my property near overhead power lines at approximately 562' agl and is surrounded by ridges. The only place I can feasibly install antennas is on the south ridge approximately 1000' south east of the shack which will give me about 780' agl. Because of cost and line loss i am wanting to use 450 ohm window line but I am not sure it this will work. I have tried to find info on this subject but found very little. Can someone point me int the right direction. I also would like to have multiple antennas and cannot find any design info for a remote switching device for ladder line, only coax. Thanks, New Hillbilly Ham KJ5GY |
