I am very interested in this subject, I am trying to figure out how to detune my 160 inverted L. I am using a flag antenna for receive and unfortunately it is only about 50 feet from the base of the
I'm with Bill, I still use external drives for backups for the same reason, but am tempted with "the cloud" Maybe our worries are unfounded ? Do the "cloud" systems back up the data (on external hard
I agree with Tom on the F-connectors. I (now) have great results with the type-F connectors for my low band receive antennas. I was getting flaky connections with the connectors for some time and fin
wouldn't it be more fitting to say it has reached saturation ? :-) Bob K6UJ _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw? BK
wow, I had better get my ## in gear and finish getting my inverted L back up. thanks Herb, Bob K6UJ _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw? BK
I think the digital modes should QRP on top band to make it fair. :-) :-) Bob K6UJ _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw? BK
Jim, I'm very interested in your experience with vertical vs horiz dipoles for 40 meters. I have a similar situation in the works. I am using a vertical dipole for 40 meters with the top attached to
Tom, FWIW, I have been following this discussion and will agree that your intended points somehow get changed. Also, I totally agree with your statement "when multiple things are changed in a randoml
If you try the K6STI low noise loop please let us know your results. I have tried a number of low noise receiving loops, currently am playing with a Waller flag. The K6STI loop is very interesting, I
I hear what you are saying Guy. Every vertical installation is a unique situation. I dont have enough technical knowledge to determine when my vertical antennas could do without a common mode choke.
Paul, Here is a handy on line calculator to help you determine the approx wire length. You can play with putting in different freqs and see how much the wire length changes. I believe with frequency
Tom, I will be interested to see what the solution(s) will be for the BC station interference. Wanted to thank for the reference to the impedance problem calculators. They are great! 73, Bob K6UJ ___
I know the feeling! Not sure if you are in the log....... Hope you made it ! I havent been successful yet with making a contact but there is still a week to go. It is great to see a DXPedition put em

Count me in too. Can you give me a senior ham discount ? I just turned 65. Can you also contact the ARRL LOTW group and update my countries total after logging me in ? thanks so much Bob K6UJ _______
I also have a 40M GP with 4 elevated resonant radials 6" above the ground. I will be putting up a vertical dipole for 40M center fed with a choke balun for comparison on DX and will compare with the
Charlie, I will post my results. I had a vertical dipole up before and now am using the 40M GP. The vertical dipole "seems" to be the best performer for DX but what does that mean, hihi. I thought I
Charlie, Yeah I see what you mean they each have a different take off angle lobe. I will run a run a plot with EZNEC of each and see what they show. I have changed/ started a new subject title for th
Jim, I will post the results here on the reflector. Note the changed subject for this thread to cover this activity. We have drifted away from the original thread. Yes, please share your results on t
