21. Topband: FT5 heard in MT finally (score: 1)
Author: "Steve Flood" <flood@ixi.net>
Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2005 19:08:02 -0700
They were just copyable from 01:35 to 01:42z - right at my noise level. My K9AY heard better for the first several minutes, and then my low dipole heard better. My SS is 02:00 according to DX Atlas.

With the recent annoucement of the Kure I. DX operation, I was wondering why they are K7C instead of KH7C. Same question for recent operations like K3J and K5K. Why was the H dropped? Steve KK7UV ___

I am in the process of erecting a wire vertical. I could go with either an Inv-L or a T. In modeling the T design, I used a 70-ft top wire (which is my space limitation amongst the tree-tops), and a

Finally - I have a vertical in the air. With my available space and skyhooks, I ended up with a 70-foot vertical section with a 70 foot flat-top topwire. I decided on elevated radials since my ground

Before I get too far with the poor elevated radial system, perhaps I should reconsider whether an on-the-ground radial system would be better. I could bury *some* radials where I have soil to do so,

I have my T-vertical up now. 70 foot topwire, 71.5 foot vertical wire, and 38 radials on the ground. Last night I could here the Europeans on the vertical and zilch on the dipole. Very exciting but n

Lousy horizon? How about an 18 to 20 degree terrain mask to my NE to Europe. Just before and right through my sunset, I could hear many EU on my low dipole and nothing on the vertical (but no joy). S

I've read many posts since I've been on this mail list about the "ZL Digi" or "ZL Beacon". Anyone care to explain what this/these are, and what frequencies? When I can hear VK and ZL ops, I do not ev

That's good to know because last year I had miserable luck getting my beverage experiment to work in sloping terrain. In succession, I tried lengths of about 650, 850, 950, and 1100 ft up a fairly st

Again, good to know. If I can rule out any effect from the heavy timber (which I can't do anything about), I can focus on the grounding. Additionally, as my beverage is tilted up at a 15 to 18 degree

My noise level is pretty high regardless of antenna - K9AY, T-vertical, dipole, delta loop - doesn't matter, S7-S9 pretty constant. Out of curiosity, I took the AM portable around my little acre to l

Tom - At what "low angle" value and lower should we become (more) suspicious of model results? 20? 10? 5? 2? I have arbitrarily used values below 5 degrees as those I should ignore - just based on a

Throughout the winter so far, I've detected a carrier on 1.810 in the mornings before sunrise. The past two mornings, I could hear some modulation - some sports talk - but could not pick up the stati

Same here Pete... Not much for other signals on the band this morning, so listened to 1.810 carrier and could get a definite SW direction. Shortly thereafter, the modulation came up and I caught the
