Re: Topband: RX Antenna for DXpedition (score: 1): Author: Ralph Matheny <mathenyr@marietta.edu>; Date: Sun, 26 Aug 2007 20:49:00 -0400 (EDT); Wow--can't believe that many would say that you don't need Rx antennas for DXpeditions to remote islands. There is ALWAYS a thunderstorm going on here on mother earth, and the ability to cut that atm; /archives//html/Topband/2007-08/msg00118.html (7,083 bytes)

Re: Topband: Recent Conditions (score: 1): Author: Ralph Matheny <mathenyr@marietta.edu>; Date: Wed, 5 Dec 2007 16:28:03 -0500 (EST); My observations here in Ohio would call last season a bit of a dud, and this one just about the same. It is my opinion that "0" sunspots is generally bad news for HF conditions. All bands. I think th; /archives//html/Topband/2007-12/msg00059.html (8,382 bytes)

Re: Topband: New CQ160 contest Rules (score: 1): Author: Ralph Matheny <mathenyr@marietta.edu>; Date: Fri, 28 Nov 2008 10:55:19 -0500 (EST); While I'm not a big gun in this matter, the fact is that being in the eastern half of the US is an advantage in any 160 contest where the simple number of DXCC countries or zones is a basis for score; /archives//html/Topband/2008-11/msg00262.html (8,138 bytes)

Especially on 160, I think you will just double the amount of space consumed by a given QSO, and double the chance that you will suffer QRM.; /archives//html/Topband/2009-01/msg00151.html (8,526 bytes)
25. Re: Topband: N6LF Article in March QST (score: 1): Author: Ralph Matheny K8RYU <mathenyr@marietta.edu>; Date: Wed, 17 Feb 2010 13:55:32 -0500 (EST); The QST article is a very "lite" version of the N6LF study. To get the full impact you need to get the QEX articles (7 of them I think) and you will find that for the most part the study says what ha; /archives//html/Topband/2010-02/msg00154.html (7,591 bytes)

Topband: BOG Rx antennas (score: 1): Author: Ralph Matheny K8RYU <mathenyr@marietta.edu>; Date: Mon, 31 Dec 2012 00:59:35 -0500 (EST); I have a couple of those here, about 150 feet long and they have at times surprised the heck out of me. My best one is made with very fine wire...2 strands of #26 I think it is, maybe #24, telco "cro; /archives//html/Topband/2012-12/msg00625.html (7,714 bytes)
27. Topband: Desktop power supplies (score: 1): Author: Ralph Matheny K8RYU <mathenyr@marietta.edu>; Date: Sun, 21 Jul 2013 13:53:28 -0400 (EDT); It is my opinion that there are two kinds of switching power supplies--the kind that are messing up your radio today and the ones that will at a later time. I believe they are not compatible with HF; /archives//html/Topband/2013-07/msg00016.html (7,909 bytes)
28. Topband: Dallas Lankford antennas & other circuits (score: 1): Author: Ralph Matheny K8RYU <mathenyr@marietta.edu>; Date: Tue, 6 Dec 2016 15:12:42 -0500 (EST); Yes, the Dallas Lankford antennas work...I've found his ideas to be very helpful. Keep in mind that most of the advantage to all the "small" rx antennas comes from keeping the power line from being c; /archives//html/Topband/2016-12/msg00115.html (8,023 bytes)
29. Topband: 160 Activity (score: 1): Author: Ralph Matheny <mathenyr@marietta.edu>; Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2018 19:02:03 +0000; QRN still at summer levels here in Ohio..... Has been especially bad with the storms that have passed thru the south. The lightning static from them is single hop to most of the eastern US. de K8RYU; /archives//html/Topband/2018-10/msg00082.html (6,726 bytes)

Patterns depend mostly on what antennas you hook to it. I have tried short verts, was not happy. Now use 2 aperiodic loops which lo; /archives//html/Topband/2023-12/msg00045.html (7,607 bytes)
