I don't know how they can build and ship this counter to the US for $9 and change?
Terry, do you ever operate 40 meter sideband? I just finished restoring a Kenwood TS-420 Hybrid and finally got back on the air recently with a random longwire antenna. Maybe we can work you one day?

Me either??? I wasn't paying attention where I ordered mine and I got the 2 of the higher fq models so they only go down to 1mc. Having thought about it I should have gotten the one that goes up to 65mc and down to like 10kc or so. I found some coil for the HRO the G and H coils. Lowfer anyone??
Could also be a good tool to align the lo and check tracking so you don't align the lo on the low side rather than the high.

New one on me?? 520 and 530 I've heard of.

Well I have a crappy 80mtr ant up and a built in tuner in the TS-440. Have been thinking about hanging a 40mtr V off the chimney, found a good price on some steel TV mast. Have been using pvc pipe but it kinda wonky can't stand up straight with guy wires (like me). Steel is much lighter and better choice I think.

Sounds look a good time! I'm around most of the time so I'm at your disposal. Just let me know when and where.
