Re: Help, unable to contact friend 1.5 miles away?

you need a Firestick base with coax and 8ft 6 inch of bell wire for a start conect the bell wire to the lead side of the firestick base and useing an swrr meter trim the length of bell wire till you get a reading of about 1.5 to 2 then you should be able to reach your mate *King* *King* *King* *King*

Re: Fitting a PL259 Plug

easier to use the bsic plugs a tip is to twist the outer shield as well this will tighten up the earth connection side of the pl259 ad you can use a cig lighter to drop a bit of solder on the tip
