Video

I was located in Hardin Montana Dn65. Now located in Casper, Wyoming.

Yes it was. Thanks for NC. I need it. We'll have to try to schedule a qso and make a video

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks, it's a blast.

It really seems to do the trick. I would like to add a vertical antenna like. Wolf river coil to the arsenal for quick activations as well.

The smedium sized ones?

Mine as well.

Yeah I believe so. I'll check my log and let you know.

@@Bigskyxj yeah actually that's a good idea I checked mine I did talk to you LOL unless there's another 211 Montana

Yeah I really am liking it.

Me too.

Toronto Canada!

​@@505torontoradio how about trying some more skip on 27.445

@@Bigskyxj its been quiet out here all day but I'll be out in the mobile in just a little bit

@@505torontoradio211 where are you located? 431- 30 miles west of Billings

Yes I did

Nice I just finished the video. Way cool

Thanks Eric,just listened to this....Very Good.......I hope to hook up with you again soon bud.....73s....

@@eddiemcknight9071 my buddy thinks you probably went fishing in Ennis,Mt.

@Bigskyxj your buddy is exactly right Eric.....Ennis....wow....i need to get my memory overhauled.....Thanks Bud.....Eddie....

It really was. Thanks for the kind words.

27.385 LSB, the radio is a magnum 257

No worries, you were booming in

No it doesn't need a battery to run. The headlight is fairly dim without one and the turn signals don't really work without one. The battery isn't required.

@@Bigskyxj that I have the same year bike. I've got spark, compression, and cleaned the carb, fires but won't run for more than 10 seconds, i haven't put a battery in yet.

@@samkaiset2802 the batteries are relatively cheap. It did seem to run a bit better with a battery. It could be that your stator is a little weak and a battery could help with that. My guess is that you have a fuel delivery issue if it is dying that fast. My tank was pretty dirty and the fuel petcock was super crusty. I took the petcock apart and cleaned it really well. I also put about 2 feet of chain in the tank with some hot water and simple green and shook it up for a while to knock all the loose rust out.

I dont have the gas tank, using a spare gas can. But I got a battery just need to charge it and test, thx for the advice bro

Bora,Bora, northern lights,🎉no it was my SP 250R just as pretty and 🎉 nice‼️

We use 5/64 Flux core mig. There are 2 different brands that I know of. Lincoln make a mang frog wire and the one that I prefer is frogbuild 700W. Its like twice as fast as using stick frog build. We run 30lb spools in a miller extreme 12VS suitcase.

Bigskyx is it a cooler process then stick? I'm in australia, we cool with water and peen after laying each weld making it a rather slow and laborious task. I was thinking that mig would be much faster and would be a cooler process? Running 3.2 rods at 140amps at the moment.

@@noelwright1165 it's slightly cool, we quench with compressed air after every bead. We try to monitor the temp by measuring approximately 1.5" from last bead and try to keep temps below 500 degrees Fahrenheit. The wire I use is frog build 575W I mistakenly told you it was 700w.

Cheers for all the great info mate you've been a big help, just gotta talk the other 2 crusty old boilermakers into giving up their beloved stick welder and join the 21st century now. Thanks again mate.

We cut the bad metal out with carbon electrodes where I work. Still using stick electrodes. If we are in a hurry we can build them up faster with larger electrodes, we have them as large as 5/16”.

Is that manganese steel frog?

Yes...welder has mask at all time...fumes are not so good for you

Dillon Thompson nice meeting you too. It was fun.
