It will be the Hy Gain AV-14AVQ. Had one before and gave up for a while. I did have a mass of trees nearby, however these are being lopped down as I speak.

Still 400 Tony, but this amp also includes 50MHz. The RG58 was only installed temporarily (about 13yrs ago) and was about 20m too long, on an already long run, so I’m expecting much better reception. Hey! I may even be able to hear the lunchtime nets!

That sounds like the old days OM. 

I have just taken delivery of a new amplifier, and having just replaced the existing RG58 with Westflex 103, I am now fitting compression plugs at each end, before calling the electric company to make sure they have the extra capacity I need!

Good afternoon fellow members.

Being a bit of a night owl, I often listen to BBC Radio from 10pm onwards, when the likes of BBC Devon & The BBC in the channel Islands come together as the South West Region Local Radio.

I’ve attached an audio clip from part of last nights show, relating to Radio Cars.

I fully understand this is copyright of the BBC, and it is only intended for your aural delight.
