My goodness Google has gotten useless.
When I hold the microphone of my qt-60 (mobile 10M radio) to my body, I get more static.
I'm assuming this is because the radio isn't grounded (not "properly", I didn't tie it to the car at all except through it's DC power connector).
Is this on the right track? Will I see better RF performance if I tie the qt-60's ground to the car's frame? Could that also be the source of the high SWR?
It doesn't seem to me like that should impact the actual RF properties, since, you know, I'm sitting in a metal box. But, hey, I'm still learning.
This is my first non-handheld radio, so I'm having to, you know, actually think about how things work.
Es ist ja nun nicht mehr all zu lange hin, also finde ich, wir sollten langsam anfangen zu planen. Also Leute, wer geht dieses Jahr zur #hamradio2025 nach #friedrichshafen und mag (wieder) beim #FediHams Meeting dabei sein? Bitte wie letztes Jahr angeregt #FediHamsFN nutzen. Und los! :)

I know DX Engineering is also in Ohio, but damn they ship fast!
(at least for things bought at Hamvention!)
I ordered some parts over the weekend at Hamvention on Saturday.
The four parts all arrived TODAY by 12 PM!
freaky fast!
Anyone work W8BI, the Hamvention special event station the past few days?
