I really hope this is all done before December. I am still going to give HF a shot as now I will have the height I want to have. <br />MikeVE9KK https://www.blogger.com/profile/04720839744779758420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2968254002071870786.post-70174260711432515062013-09-20T16:19:44.549-04:002013-09-20T16:19:44.549-04:00Hi Mike, Congratulations on the move.

Perhaps you will find VHF/UHF work more enticing with less space to work in.<br /><br />73!Casey Bahrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01638230726171327005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2968254002071870786.post-70401956300852343162013-09-17T06:23:26.314-04:002013-09-17T06:23:26.314-04:00Good morning Bob, I was thinking the same about se...Good morning Bob, I was thinking the same about setting up a mag loop. I have read some very nice reviews and this is one of my considerations. Not sure they allow dishes but it worse comes to worse I can have it indoors close to the sliding glass door. <br />MikeVE9KK https://www.blogger.com/profile/04720839744779758420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2968254002071870786.post-61486330063289587982013-09-16T16:31:08.356-04:002013-09-16T16:31:08.356-04:00Hi Mike... if they allow Sat Dishes on the balconi...Hi Mike... if they allow Sat Dishes on the balconies... then you might think about the MFJ Magloop. Its grey just like the sat dishes and can be tuned remotely.. I can think of worse things than having a mag loop at 200 feet AGL...<br /><br />Good luck and all the best<br /><br />73bobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2968254002071870786.post-8511350774682374202013-09-15T18:26:05.689-04:002013-09-15T18:26:05.689-04:00Hello Bas, yes it sure is going to be a big change...Hello Bas, yes it sure is going to be a big change but Julie and I are very much looking forward to it and will welcome the new change with open arms.

Being up in the air in the condo will give the loop an advantage for sure. So for now it's going to be the Alexloop here at this QTH until we move. <br />MikeVE9KK https://www.blogger.com/profile/04720839744779758420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2968254002071870786.post-18159428159314780542013-09-15T18:23:33.381-04:002013-09-15T18:23:33.381-04:00Good evening Dick, yes with the kids gone the hous...Good evening Dick, yes with the kids gone the house has lots of rooms that are not being used. As for stuff for sale we have a load of stuff that we are selling and so far it's going not to bad. As for the condo we have sat down and looked at the costs and will be able to save some good cash as well. As for the rule I can put a loop in the den and that would be just find as it's inside the unit and not on the balcony. With being close to 20 floors up the height should help as well.

You face a new experiment and challenge with low profile ham radio. ;-) I think your magnetics loops will a good job and they don't need a lot of space. Who need a big antenna?

You will be getting rid of "stuff" which is, actually, a good thing. Also having a shorter commute will be heavenly. I presume you have researched annual expenses at a new condo QTH. Being smaller, utility bills may be less. But there are other required condo charges. As for the radio, if you have a large balcony, that will be helpful and a good place to put your loop. Check condo-cop regs. GL 73 DickDickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10984094559146508871noreply@blogger.com
