For those wanting to test their QRSS software (ARGO / SPECTRAN..) or just get their feet wet in QRSS mode, I have had a 900mw beacon running on 1997.750 KHz for about 1 year. It is in the QRSS3 mode

Just wondering if anyone has had success in loading their tubular tower on 160? How did you overcome the bonding problem (or is it a problem?). A friend has a 70' Wilson tubular (entire tower rotates

Just wonder if anyone else has run into this problem. Using a loop on RX, I find a huge source of noise pointing towards the tower (about 40' away)...mostly 60Hz/hash noise. If I kill ALL power to my

An annoying topband QRN problem for the past 2 months has finally been traced to a neighbor's TV switching supply. It appears that the QRN source is being radiated out and along the common powerline
