Here’s today’s show. I did a review on the HyGain AV 680 vertical.

A wonderful antenna! Texas to Tokyo on the show through that antenna! Larry of Ham Radio Live reviews the AV-680 Hygain 10 band vertical.

California declares Ham Radio no longer a benefit, severs ties across the state.

Ham Radio Satellite Contacts, Hy-Gain DB-2345/Wouxun KG-UV8D+

Ham Radio Satellite Contacts, Hy-Gain DB-2345/Wouxun KG-UV8D+ I made a few satellite contacts this evening, using my new Hy-Gain DB-2345 yagi and my Wouxun KG-UV8D handheld. This was SO-50 satellite. Pass was 45 degrees...

Take a look around Hara Arena after the tornado.

I remember when we visited over a year ago. The Zamboni and everything was still there. Here is that video: https://youtu.be/wBPVB_xnJnU

Amateur Radio Station K6LPM uses the TH7DX Thunderbird at 56 feet above average ground level.

The TH7DX may not be a computer optimized antenna design and predates many of the newer trapless designed antennas that have become popular.
However, the TH7DX is a PROVEN and very worthy antenna. The design was optimized on the antenna test range, where real performance is actually quantified and measured!
Yes, the Thunderbird is a big antenna and it if moderately heavy. It is also very heavy duty and able to withstand some pretty intense weather conditions.
I am not subject to ice or snow, but I am in an area of California that often sees the high intensity "Santa Ana" wind conditions. These windstorms often hit my QTH at 80 plus miles per hour. The measured windspeed isnt totally indicative of these conditions but it is more the raging gusts of unstable air whipping in multiple directions that is responsible for tearing up the antennas around here! Believe me this antenna still stands in the same location others have failed.
This antenna is highly directional with outstanding front to back that very few triband beams can compare. It is like aiming a laser beam. In some situations the beamwidth might even be a bit too narrow and if you operate as a Net Control Station, this might give your rotator a bit of workout and might not be the antenna for regular roundtable operations.
What this antenna is for is DX! It is a DX powerhouse. This design is amid the select few that have become traditionally known as the ones to compare all other triband beams. I believe that this tribander will exceed or at least equal any other big triband beam you could put up against it. Off the top of my head I can only think of two or three other tribanders that are in the same league. This antenna is really in the top three for DX performance in the big triband beams.
Ive heard alot of talk about traps being less reliable and lossy when compared to the newer design multiband Yagis. In my experience running legal limit, reliability has not been an issue. As far as lossy? Maybe in theory? Certainly not in use. I can notice no less performance and even greater performance from comparison with a trap less computer optimised multiband yagi I have here.
My TH7DX vs my Force 12 C4XL the Thunderbird outperforms in every way and is quieter and less prone to common mode types of interference too.
Price point per dollar for performance this has to be the best bet in big tribander performance. This antenna ranks up in the top four or five best most powerful tribanders and does it at more bang for the buck without any compromise.
Unfortunately for me, this is the antenna that I must judge all my other antennas to, and anything else requires a major investment to raise the bar any significant distance higher. Brian Suarez, K6LPM

Hy-Gain Super Penetrator SPT500 10/12M Vertical 10M and 12M are 2 of my most FAVORITE bands on HF and I wanted a super antenna to operate these bands. The SPT500 Super Penetrator goes back to the late 70's...

The Hy-gain TH2-MK3 rides high above the Ham Radio Outlet store in Anaheim, California for "HAM JAM" an HRO store function organized by Janet Margelli. Thanks to Chip Margelli for the picture and good luck with the antenna's future endeavors in an exotic location soon!

Last few days of the Xenia Hamvention prep week. Loading an 18 wheeler on Friday this week bound for Xenia with all kinds of lovely goodies on it. The early crew leaves on Monday, May 14 including four guys in a car and two guys in the regular MFJ truck. We start work on Tuesday, May 15 on the MFJ, Ameritron, Hy-Gain, Cushcraft, Mirage, Vectronics, Xiegu, Messi and Paoloni, YouKits and Remote Shack booths. Tuesday through Thursday, pallets will be unpacked, demos will be placed on shelves, antennas built and put up and an enormous amount of time making the stuff look pretty! Stock will be sold to dealers arriving early. It's beginning to look a lot like Dayton! See all you bargain starved hams on Friday morning!!! Looking forward to another fun event on the Greene County Fairgrounds in beautiful Xenia, Ohio!
