Comet GP-15 up and running

Well, here is the Comet GP-15 Tri-Bander up and running at about 45 feet off the ground, and about 475 feet above sea level. I have about a 60 mile radius 2 Meter coverage. You can just barely see my temporary 10 Meter dipole installation. That is the red wire from the pole to the lower steps.

My 2Meter coverage area

Well, I can get up north to Watertown (just barely), South to Binghampton (again just barely), East to just past Rome (no Albany), and West out past Auburn...Not a bad coverage area...
Not much activity on 10 and 6 Meter FM lately...

New Wouxun KG-UV950P Quad Band Mobile installed

Just purchased a new Quad band (10, 6, 2, 440) mobile rig...I bought the programming cable and software with it. It was a breeze to program with the 950 commander software. I also purchased a Comet GP-15 (6, 2, 440) base vertical Ground Plane antenna, but it will have to wait to be put up. I need to borrow an antenna analyzer to tune it. 6M and 10M repeaters are fun! I will have to see how much farther I can get out with the Comet Antenna over the Arrow Ground Plane. The Comet is supposed to have the highest gain of any GP antenna out there. We shall see...
So Sorry Yaesu....
