The only reason the ultrasonic system works is that there is a non-linear interaction between the ear and air around it that effectively demodulates the signal. The important thing to understand is t

If the sky noise power (read propagated noise + local QRN) is 10dB above the receive system thermal noise at 2.1 KHz bandwidth, it will still be 10dB above the receive system thermal noise when you r

I don't think you'll have too much trouble getting 40 or 50 dB attenuation at 2 MHz, Dan. Small DIP relays for instance should give isolation on order of at least 70 to 80 dB at 2 MHz (probably more)

I noticed that several folks got repeatedly chided this morning with "UP UP!" for sending their call on H40MY's QRG when in fact they were working FO/N6JA who was just below him listening up ~1 KHz.

It would be interesting to add fading into the mix. I am pretty convinced that 1dB can make or break a marginal QSO on 160 my thinking being that the extra 1dB increases the amount of time your signa

Tom, One thing to consider is that many folks who are using short verticals are doing so because they live on small lots. Because of this a good ground system isn't always practical. I've paved or wi

I think the numbers you are citing above are spot on, but I would argue that even even as little 1dB improvement in EIRP is worth going after, especially if you are dealing with a compromise system (
