I have a similar antenna. Mine is about 75 foot vertical wire with a 75 foot topwire, over a field of 60 radials that vary from 50 feet to 130 feet on a steep slope. My feedpoint Z measured 25 + j0 a
It has been a month now since JH2RMU announced it. Has anyone heard JD1BMM yet? Steve, KK7UV _______________________________________________ Topband mailing list Topband@contesting.com http://lists.c
I see lots of reference to the RF parts RFC-4L as a fine plate choke for use down thru 160m. Yet I do not see it offered on their website. Is their RFC-3 the same or at least suitable? I did ask them
I am designing an L-network for my 160 vertical which I would also like to put on 80 and 40m. I have figured out the component values for the 3 bands but would like to know how large the coils need t
For those of you in my region around MT (W7LR, N6TR, W7IUV, K7TJR, etc) who have little problem hearing DX, I am curious as to whether the signals from EU of the past several days have been arriving
I currently have a wire T-vertical with a 75-ft. vertical portion and a 75-ft. topload wire over about 60 radials. Feedpoint is around 25 + j0 at 1.825 Mhz, which I match with a toroid 1:2 unun. The
The original RST scale seems needlessly overdetailed. Each R,S and T could be reduced to perhaps 3 subjective qualifiers with fewer ambiguous adjectives/adverbs. Readability 1 - Barely readable 2 - R
I don't think modeling will not tell you much at all about antenna pattern at ground level over real ground - which is essentially what your trying to measure empirically with your receiver and GPS s
I have a 73.5-ft. wire vertical over a decent field of radials (about 60 or so, 50 to 120 ft. long). I have configured this vertical two ways over the past several years and am wondering if they are
for your two antennas in detail. Both antennas were built over the same radial system, just at different times. (see my original message). I have 60 + radials of 14awg aluminum high-tensile electric
You might look at your local soil surveys for better information, or contact your local NRCS office. I use the online Web Soil Survey. http://websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov/app/HomePage.htm Once you se
Has anyone been able to get a card out of UA4CC for the T8CC operation last winter? I have tried direct mailing and followup email with no luck. Steve, KK7UV _________________________________________
Thanks to all for the replies. Ark contacted me via email and is sending a card. My mailing was obviously lost and I may have originally used the wrong email to contact him. Steve KK7UV _____________
Could you also please log in to the ON4KST topband chat so I can confirm my QSO with you there. You can see my callsign right there in case you only copied a partial. Otherwise I have to ask the othe
I have a similar noise-finding arsenal Don. My VHF tool is a Moxon rectangle which has a very deep narrow null. I mounted it to a short section of broom handle so I can hold it overhead and turn the
A fairly similar design, although quite a bit larger dimension, appeared about 10-12 years ago on the hardcoredx website. It was 6 triangle loops arranged on a mast. Each loop 30 feet tall and 20 fe
Carriers here this morning are at 3500.85 khz 3501.58 khz 3503.16 khz Using nulls from my 8-direction K9AY loop, I put the signal between 135 and 150 degrees from DN36. If that helps at all, Steve, K
