1. Topband: New 160m QRP rig? (score: 1)

I hear that Steve, KD1JV, (well known for his remarkable ATS and PFR transceiver kits) MIGHT be convinced to kit the new DDS-based 160m QRP transceiver he recently prototyped and used with good resul

Sure, but the fact is, nobody forces anybody to dig out a QRP caller. A lot of QRP calls undoubtedly get ignored as too weak to bother with. One has to assume that, if the station on the other end r

*A sidebar and table in the ARRL Handbook (22.23 in the 2007 edition) suggests that, for 16 on- or in-ground radials, there is little benefit to cutting them longer than 0.1 wave. Only when the numbe

Because there seems to be a lot going on with sprites (and associated phenomena) about 100 km up, I think there's a very good chance of a close tie with sporadic E (Es) propagation. This notion seems

Yeah, Rick, they often will do that. (I was offered an after-the-fact log "fix" when XR0ZR copied and apparently repeated my call as WA9EK -- an error I missed while on the air. But I knew I would ne
