I dont feel like frying them and getting grease splatterlolWhat temp and for how long?
Your setup will work But, like everyone else has said, it is not the best setupYour coax is the worst part of the equationI have also used RG8x, and I have had excellent resultsI moved up to standard RG-8, which is not the best; but does have a lot less lossAn attic antenna will also work; just altitude is the issueI suppose, my big question is: Is this setup giving you the performance you want? Are you making all the repeaters you want to hitAre you making some decent simplex contacts? Use what you have and as time and money permits, improve your setup, if you want toThe hobby is about tinkering and experimentingHave fun with your setup and tweak here and there73 john
YES 1) If you want to improve you station one step at a time, you need to get the antenna out of the attic and mount it on a metal pole on top of the roof (tri-pod or chimney mount, or eve mount etc) 2) later, replace the 8x with RG213 or CA400 coax cable 3) later, buy a good 5/8, or larger antenna like a Hustler G7-144 or a Diamond F23Hbut, if you have a few dollard to spare, and if you want maximum range for your dollar, skip steps 1, 2 3 and get a Yagi or a Quad and mount it outside with a rotor with the CA400 coax, and keep your omni in the attic on a switch - listen for signals on the omni, then switch over to the directional for more reliable communication.
Generally for meat, your oven temperature has to be hotSo it would be around 200C/400FArrange the sausages on a sheet panSpray a light coating of cooking oil on them if you like and toss them around(Don't use the commercial oil spray, just place some cooking oil in a spray bottle and use that.) If you're afraid that they'd burn, place a piece of aluminium foil to cover the topPlace the pan in the ovenThey should be done after 15-20 minutesAll sausages come pre-cookedSo, all you're doing is essentially just reheating them in the ovenBut check diligently because they are easily burnt at such a high temperatureGood luck!
