Carl, I use the MFJ-1026 and it does a lot of nice phasing tricks here. It allows me to pull out a lot of DX that is unreadable on any one antenna. 73 Bruce-k1fz Its also the cost of a smal
Art, Hearing several strong ones 1820-1926 KHZ most to my East toward the Grand Banks. Wonder if anyone has ever sent any, a SWL card requesting they use an out of Ham band frequency? hi No QRZ l

Some years ago, on 80 meters, an LZ station had a horizontal between two tall buildings and had a very strong signal. 73 Bruce-k1fz www.qsl.net/k1fz/beverage_antenna.html horizontal antenna i
It can be done. JC, N4IS has been doing it and has the DX contacts that most can not hear.. The proof as they say "is in the pudding" He uses balanced twisted pair feed lines with pre-amps, and oth
Thanks Jim, There are new hams that do not know how horizontal antennas patterns change over ground. On 160 meters, Usually, but nor always, higher is better up to 1/2 wavelength for low angle DX..
Above and beyond all the dialogue, JC is making these antennas work. Time after time he is working stations that only a few with large antenna systems copy. 73 Bruce-K1FZ It seems unlikel
There are many fish beacons from 1800 to 1900 KHZ also. They are not appreciated when they jam a weak Ham DX staton. 73 Bruce-K1FZx Re Docket 15-99 While most attention so far has focussed on the p
Had a large front to back on my transmit phased verticals indicating low angle reception last night. (Some times called spot-light propagation) Top band is alive and well ! 73 Bruce-k1fz www.qsl.n
Hi Mike, Your fuel pump may be a solenoid type, not a small motor whine type. Please see the attached site. www.jeeppatriot.com ... Jeep Patriot Engine and Drivetrain 73 Bruce-k1fz www.qsl.net

Anyone lost a 30 meter RTTY contact with E51MQT ? I have received credit for one that I did not work. https://secure.clublog.org/charts/?c=E51MQT 73 Bruce-K1FZ www.qsl.net/k1fz/bogantennanote
Interesting.... I do not operate RTTY and do not operate 30 meters. No RTTY equipment. Mistaken identity, or pirate possible. 73 Bruce-K1FZ On Fri, 16 Oct 2015 03:28:59 +0200, Silvo Knuple
Luis, IV3PRK/HC1PF has been instrumental in BOG antenna research. He has brought together information from some of the top BOG antenna users/researchers, and an antenna plotting expert. He has con
Thanks for the reminder JC. Remember..... 160 meters was not included in most ham gear not so long ago. It's a gift we should treasure. 73 Bruce-k1fz BOG antenna notes have been updated at a n
Just after midnight - early Sunday morning, listened on lower MW 472.5 KHZ and copied WG2XKA 559, and on 474.5 KHZ copied WG2XJM 589. This on my 160 meter TX verticals. My RX antennas are i
It does not take a lot of RF if conditions are right. A few years ago I received a little 40 meters QRP transceiver for Christmas. Did not have a 40 meter antenna at the time. listened on my Bev
