The coax shield should be going to the radial system. Earth is NOT a good return for antenna currents/fields. You don't want/need an EARTH connection. You DO need radials. The antenna is electrically

Same problem on most of the west coast -- we were listening for EU but never heard you guys all. No matter -- even if we had, it's pretty tough to get through the wall of much closer east coast stati

Do you mean that the resistor to earth is at the SSW end? If you do, you have it backwards, and EU is off the back of it. Unless, of course, it's a reversible. 73, Jim K9YC __________________________

Don't tell K5RC (W7RN) that. His new 160 transmit antenna (about a year) is a quarter wave, and he is BIG on 160. When we were lined up trying to run JA this morning, one JA who was doing a lot of sp

Because you measured in the shack. The length of line between the shack and the load is an impedance transformer. Study the material in the ARRL Antenna Book on Smith charts. If you know the complex

Yes, these are good tuners, excellent value for the price. Downsides -- the fixed caps are a bit under-rated, and the dial cords are a PITA. The current 238B elimnates the dial cord, goes for close t

I'm convinced that the reason verticals play so much better on 160 than their vertical and horizontal patterns suggests is related to the way vertically and horizontally waves propagate on 160. 73, J

The biggest difference you can make is with radials. The shorter your antenna, the more important it is to have more radials. They don't need to be long, they don't need to be uniform, they just need

That is NOT a good thing. Don't do that! You want no coupling to your transmit antenna. Disconnect it and drive a stake, even if it's not a good stake or a long stake. Yes, as George said, you defini

That's right. If you use the cluster, you're a check log, not in competition. I used the cluster during the day for RAC, then disconnected it and cleared my screens before getting back to Stew Perry.

Yes. That's what I said -- "especially with only a few radials." I'd bet that the vast majority of radial systems consist of 4-8 radials. Remember that most hams live on small lots. Yes, I have 60+ r
