Re: [IRCA] Recent DX from Burnt River ON

Thanks for the information. However, I assure you, diodes and me don't get 
along. I can barely solder! But I'll give it a looksee.

I checked the Thomas site earlier today. The couplers are still listed. 
Maybe I'll give one of those a shot.

Thanks for asking about my Father. When I get down there Wednesday, I'll be 
sure and tell him about the dozens of folks out there in Radioland that are 
thinking about him.

Ira,

I have used my 2010 numerous times connected to 1500+
ft. BOGs. I used the factory supplied antenna
connector with 4 diodes wired up inside the little
plastic box to block possible static charge on the
antenna wire from damaging the 1st stage FET. I found
the circuit on a 2010 web site. It may have been Steve
Whitt's site, it's been a long time. Works like a
charm. If you do a Google search on the 2010 you will
find a variety of interesting resources for the 2010.
Another option would be a ferrite bar coupler. I think
Gerry Thomas still makes them. You may wish to check
on his DX-Tools website. He's a real asset to the
hobby and great to deal with. I would like to add that
your father and your family are in my prayers.
