If you did not know: S9 Antennas was a small company in Texas that offered lightweight verticals at very reasonable prices. Was, yes. I had not checked on them for a while, and as I did I was suddenly redirected to the LDG website . While I generally like LDG (I still use one of their first tuners.), I do not like this acquisition. As AE5X put it very correctly, prices have gone up significantly, which makes those antennas pretty unattractive and you are "encouraged" now to use LDGs balun (unun) instead of one from Balundesigns .

What a pity...

I was invited to a wedding last weekend, and although it was not especially a "ham wedding", the groom was DD6ULF. One other guest (DD6UDS) and me were the only non-family guests, so amateur radio still meant something to Ulf.

Good luck to Ulf and Anke!

Wer hat diese Meldung nicht schon gesehen? Dachte ich auch, aber diesmal gab es einen kleinen Unterschied, und richtig sauer geworden bin ich wegen einem Wort: könnte. In diesem Fall war es also nicht so, daß die GEMA dafür Rechte hat , sondern sie "könnte " eventuell die Rechte haben - und deshalb muß der Clip gesperrt werden.

Ein derart asozialer Raubritterverein sollte zum Teufel gejagt werden.
