81. Topband: PREAMP/PRESELECTOR (score: 1)
Author: "Bill and Liz" <magoo@isp.ca>
Date: Sat, 25 Aug 2012 12:09:57 -0400
Most Beverages don't require a preamp of any type, in my estimation. The shorter ones may need a bit of a boost but those over 500 ft seem to do quite nicely on their own most of the time. If you do

DXpeditioners: Do you think you could take my word as a gentleman and enter me in your log now for a QSO on every band? Sure would save a lot of aggravation later. Bill VE3NH ________________________

Author: "Bill and Liz" <magoo@isp.ca>
Date: Wed, 5 Dec 2012 12:29:01 -0500
FWIW, about half of the DX I worked in last weekend's contest was in the 1830-35 "window". I run only barefoot, and having some space where there are no big east coast CQ machines certainly helps the

I have been following this thread with great interest. Though I don't have or plan to have a vertical such as a GAP or Butternut, I have found all the information very enlightening, particularly ever

This company is indeed very reputable. I am using several hundred feet of flooded hard line from Commscope and it is well made. My 2200 ft reel came with complete specs and directions on preparing th

FWIW, my original 160M vertical began life as a 40M antenna: three sections of lattice tower and 20 quarter wavelength radials. It then evolved into an 80M antenna with more tower sections and anothe

Can someone please advise me on the correct method of setting up a pair of verticals to be used with the Comtek phasing controller? I have heard two methods: (1) tune each vertical without the contro

An interesting thread on an interesting ham! I recall seeing a picture in one of the magazines of Don at age 80+ at the top of one of his rhombic poles (some 100 ft each I believe) doing "routine mai

Carl, KM1H's assessment of the availability of cheap Andrew heliax is bang on; analog repeaters for 2-way radio have gone the way of the Dodo bird and repeater sites are being removed in large number

When I first got into the 2-way radio business back in the 70s I obtained a lot of literature from both Motorola and General Electric, for whom I did sub-contract work. On the subject of installing b

This morning OH0Z was very readable in EN93 from around 1205Z to about 1235Z but the guys further west and south must really have had a good path as they made it into the log in good numbers. I hope

I have owned a K3 for just over 3 years and my impression is that, for normal operation on the bands there is little difference between it and several other transceivers. However, where the K3 shines
