61. Topband: UNOCCUPIED BANDWIDTH (score: 1)
Author: "Bill and Liz McHugh" <magoo@isp.ca>
Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2011 09:16:23 -0500
Normally in the CQ160CW contest there is a wall of NA signals across the band. But this year I found many frequencies which appeared to be unoccupied. I dropped onto a few of these, sent QRL several

Author: "Bill and Liz McHugh" <magoo@isp.ca>
Date: Sat, 23 Apr 2011 08:02:36 -0400
My first 160M vertical was linear-loaded and it worked fine....or so I thought. The late K6SE did an EZNEC analysis of my antenna vs what I am using now, which is an 80 ft top-loaded (three wires) an

A pair of government surplus Polyphase IS-50 protectors came my way recently and I'd like to use them on my 160M verticals to replace what I currently use. They are exactly alike in appearance to the

Date: Thu, 12 May 2011 12:57:32 -0400
I'm surprised that many posters are using RG-6 for really long runs of cable to RX antennas. I discovered about 4 years ago that the cable TV companies no longer use hardline-everything in the cities

I've been following this thread for the past few days with interest as I am just about to start installation of radials for another vertical. My connection point is a ring at the base made of 1/4" co

Author: "Bill and Liz McHugh" <magoo@isp.ca>
Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2011 19:49:29 -0400
I suppose some people who use full break-in want a complicated solid-state front-end protector. I don't use break-in and so a simple DPDT relay powered from your transceiver will do the job at almost

I have just completed installation of a second vertical to work with my first one, using the Christman feed method. Everything works well end-fire: very low SWR, about 3 S units F/B. But the bandwidt

I have 47 RG-6 connectors out of a 50 pack-Paladin #9646-which I purchased in error...I found out that I did not have the correct crimp tool. If anyone is interested in these please contact me off li

As you get closer and closer to a series of poles you suspect might be the cause of your noise, take along an associate with a 20 lb sledge hammer. Have him whack each pole while you listen for a cha

While many were hearing XU7ACY via long path yesterday morning, I heard stations to the west and south working JAs which I could not hear. I'd be interested in knowing if they too were worked via lon

There is only ONE way to properly install a PL-259 connector and if you are not using that method then anything can happen. New connectors won't make any difference to system integrity unless they ar

It goes without saying that if one chooses to use cheap imported cable which has not been scoped then all bets are off. My earlier comments regarding RG-213 and RG-6 were based on the assumption that

As a matter of interest, my confirmed rate on LOTW is around 26% even though I upload all logged QSOs. I think this method of confirming a QSO is really great; however, with such a small percentage o

I have the general coverage module in my K3 and I can report that it works very well on the BC band as well as MW. I do not have the AM filter but AM still sounds OK. Bill VE3NH _____________________

The beverage is not the be-all in RX antennas! Those of us who have room put them up but they do not work well at all times. That is why I have erected a K9AY loop at my home QTH and both a K9AY and

I employ the marvellous control designed into the K3 to deal with such problems: the ON/OFF switch! Seriously, I use a full-wave loop working against a Beverage in diversity mode which knocks the cra

Like ZL3IX, I also had very poor results with a Beverage travelling too close to a fence. F/B was bad but even worse was coupling of noise picked up by the fence. WRT a second Bev on the same post, 1
