How far away is the other station, and what kind of antenna are you using?

[k2wi]

Surprisingly good audio out of such a simple set.

was about 21 miles

[Wa3ypx]

@bauercrescent . Thanks for posting. I had the 6-meter version about 40 years ago, and loved it. It worked great for local chat...best DX for me was about 60 miles using a 3-element beam over flat terrain. The sixer and twoer were beautifully simple and clever for their time. Your friend's Knight TR-106 sounds nice, too, with clean punchy audio. 73, Mike WA3RVS

I had an old Tener in my car when I was in high school.
