I put up what I call a squashed delta loop in Colorado in 1994 and it worked just fantastic. I put the base of the antenna 10 feet above ground, and the apex at 100 feet above ground. Using the formu

Bob VE7BS made some very valid points in his previous email. We all get to hung up on lot's of radials near the feedpoint of a vertical antenna. They are certainly needed in the near field of a 1/4 w

Thomas KN4LF Says: The poor 160 meter band conditions as of late, even with low A/Ap and K/Kp values, is due to polar cap absorption and polar radio blackouts. Polar cap absorption and polar radio bl

I am in agreement with all points that Bob NM7M and I covered in our previous email posts concerning 160 meter propagation. However I did err partially by stating that energetic protons are the main

Looking at the propagation path via the W6EL propagation program, from the continental U.S. to JT1 is definitely a polar path through the aurora oval, so it will be a tougher propagation path for man

In John ON4UN's book he has a table of equivalent resistances of buried radial systems. Does anyone have a more detailed table or info then in the book? I would like to be able to model verticals/L/s

Strongest 160 meter signals ALWAYS propagate along paths of least absorption or resistance so to speak, that means lower latitude skewed paths. Over the poles 160 propagation underneath a relatively
