Sorry, But, Amateur Radio isn&#8217;t the highest priority right now. Staying COVID-19 free is, at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>Anyhow, getting to my point; My VHF\/-UHF Station is down for a while. I believe it&#8217;s in the Coax and or Antenna. SWR goes to Infinity and no RX, I can hear repeaters but, not really well. Think the center conductor broke in the coax. The Coax wasn&#8217;t the best, and it did look a bit rough. I will replace it sooner or later. It&#8217;s 40 feet in the air and I don&#8217;t climb. My Coax was RG-213U. Not the best for VHF and UHF. But it was the only stuff I had around here, at the time.<\/p>\n<p>In the near future, I hope to pick up a diamond dual band base antenna and some Coax, either 9913 flex or LMR 600 flex. I have basically given up on 220 MHZ, as it is a dead band here. I have the money for it. I just need a COVID-19 free air and someone to climb a tower.<\/p>\n<p>73 for now,<\/p>\n<p>-Chuck K8CPA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s really down, so, how can I laugh, when it&#8217;s really down&#8230;(Sorry, Beatles reference)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":64,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[110,111,112,3,148,4,151],"tags":[114,116,115,76,149,77,152],"class_list":["post-907","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-2-meters","category-220-mhz","category-440-mhz","category-amateur-radio","category-aprs","category-ham-radio","category-news","tag-2-meters","tag-220-mhz","tag-440-mhz","tag-amateur-radio","tag-aprs","tag-ham-radio","tag-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/k8cpa.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/907","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/k8cpa.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/k8cpa.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/k8cpa.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/k8cpa.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=907"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/k8cpa.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/907\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":911,"href":"http:\/\/k8cpa.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/907\/revisions\/911"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/k8cpa.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/64"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/k8cpa.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=907"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/k8cpa.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=907"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/k8cpa.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=907"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
