Hello Paul, 160 is a nighttime band. It opens to Europe at your sunset and will close to Europe shortly after their sunrise. Good DX to the south can happen when our sun is down - until the sunrises
Contest University will host "Propagation Summit" on January 23, 2021. All times are USA EST. 11 AM Introduction - Tim Duffy K3LR and Ray Novak N9JA *Moderators Scott Jones N3RA and George Fremin K5T
Hello Don and John: DXE has not measured the noise figure of the loop preamp yet, but we will soon and it will be posted on the part detail for the loop amplifier. https://www.dxengineering.com/parts
Hello Steve: One possible solution is a Elecraft XG-3 (at 0 dBm) as a start - with a 13 dB amplifier (pretty simple). https://static.dxengineering.com/global/images/instructions/ect-xg3.pdf Greg, W8W
Two things concern me about black. UV and possible carbon used to color black - which may be conductive at RF frequencies 73 Tim K3LR Gene, I have used those and others in that series with only fair
Hi Grant The issue with some black insulators - with RX antennas they might not go up in smoke, however they are still not a good insulator at RF - even for RX antennas. When coloring black - no carb
Hello James: Responding on behalf of DX Engineering. I do not see your email in the que. You can separate the antennas 1/4 wavelength for 160 and the operation will also be OK on 80 meters. You need
Send a direct card to JT1CO with a few $$$ to cover postage (not just SASE). I received my top band card from JT5DX - no problem 73 Tim K3LR hello How do you get confirmations from these stations? No
Way to go Steve! BIG CONGRATS! VE6WZ on Topband - rocks! 73 Tim K3LR Congratulations to Steve Babcock, VE6WZ, who received the Yasme Excellence Award for his contribution to the art of lowband antenn
I do have very high CMI chokes (0ver 10K ohms) at the feedpoint of each vertical element and at the HI-Z combiner box for each element. This may seem extreme, but I am more than pleased with the resu
You already know the answer. K3LR And if a Region 1 stations modified his log to change the frequency information to make it look legit - is that unsportsmanlike behavior? Tree N6TR _________________

I match my 26 ohm feed point with a simple L network. One series coil then a shunt capacitor. Steps up to 50 ohms perfectly. 73 Tim K3LR Maybe this will help: I use a 1:2.25 Unun (3 to 2 turns ratio)
