Barb, I recommend Access-4-Free: http://www.access-4-free.com/ I've been quite satisfied with it. It works well, no advertising, and is well suited to...
Is the $70 a flat rate for the 400 min of usage including calls or internet use ? How much for extra use ? Lia http://cancuninn.com Cancun INN El Patio ...
I have Sprint PCS and two A460 phones by Samsung. I use one of them for my laptop's modem. I have nationwide roaming with nights and weekends starting at 7...
This is why I'd check Sprint or Radio Shack. Prices change all the time. My phone the sph a500 can be set up as a modem for my laptop also, but sprint didn't...
I don't know. I have never gone over the 400 minutes. I got it at radio shack where I also got the software and the cord for my phone. Today, I'm sure they...
Hi all: When you are connecting to the internet by a SLOW means such as a PMCIA Cell modem or Verizon Cell 14.4, have you ever noticed that the first 30 or so...
Hi: AOL 9 has an automatic reconnect Feature that I find handy now that I am back using the PMCIA Cell phone modem. This is a hands off automatic feature that...
Well, the jury is in for us. We installed our Wilson Trucker antenna (standard long antenna with the ground plane built in - not the 'rv antenna') on an...
Could you provide more details on the "antenna bar". I am a ham radio operator myself and would like more details. Congrats on your success. David N9FAA...
Hi Bonnie, I'm not a "Ham" operator, but I'm sure your non-ferrous "aluminum bar" is providing an extremely marginal ground plane for your antenna's. You will...
More 'information' of dubious qualifications. FWIW silver and gold are by far the best conductors yet neither are remotely classed as ferrous metals. Might...

Lew, well said! I have my CB, 2 meter and 70 cm radios on the same piece of aluminum 1.5"x8" mounted on the original CB antenna. I have checked and adjusted...

One little bitty thing that might be mentioned about aluminum is it's tendency to corrode and lose a little conductivity at mechanical joints over time. And...
Harold, might I disagree with you. The 3 beam antennas I have had on my roof and the 2 verticals have been up there over 5 years with very little ill effect....
Well, don't wanna fight about it but, I have known hams that have improved their ss after cleaning up joints. Don't know, maybe their *joints* were a little...
Don, didn't he say he had the ground plane bars on the antenna? That should provide the right size plane if grounded, right? John Andrews, Knoxville,...
Harold, sounds like we are in tune. you are right antenna connections need to be cleaned frequently. I was using a screwdriver on HF and had lots of ...
Hi Tom, <I like your idea of a 40m & 20m ham stick I'll give it a try. BTW, how do you have it mounted?> I just have the little kit made for that purpose....
Hi Lou, Yep, I blew it. My short course in antenna theory was about 40 years ago, and I kinda got it reversed. Thanks for correcting me for the the benefit...

The critical issue is not so much the ground plane (which tends to make the antenna system more efficient) but that the transmitter is electrically matched to...

What part of a yagi needs to be connected to ground? Or how does one fool it into thinking it is? And truckers antennas are *phased* verticals. The distance...
