Hi Larry, My shack is also an "elevated" shack on the second floor... I have more than 20m of the feed line that is not buried, beacuse it goes trough whole my house. This was the first point I deci
GM, After an investigation I did during the weeeknend I still receive some signals on the coax, but there is a lot of improvement. The noise sources were: 1. TX antenna. When my INV Vee is not connec
Hi, Seems that I have an enemy of beverages in my location. When I go to sleep (not so early) everything is OK, but in the morning I find one wire has been cut, other moved out from the bamboo sticks

(...) 5) Longer Bev's (over 600 feet) are worthless if laid on the ground. I have all my 5 beverages laid on the ground, 2 of them are between 180-200m (600 feet) long and in my case those 2 beverage
way down on 160 compared to 80. Of course, they work great on 160, certainly with a preamp. Does this mean you could make one for 80 that was half the size and it would still work well? Is there som
GM/GE, Has anyone ever seen any mod for IC 775 DSP, for getting rid of CW clicks? I mean, kind of solution that they have for FT 1000 Mark V..? BTW, maybe I have a problem with my radio, with the sig

GM All, Can someone recomend me a simple high pass filter that will reject strong AM signal trasmitted at 225 khz? I've just looked at Petr OK1RR website and there is nice filter, but rejects 400khz-
Hi , did anyone try to match such 160m vertical /L or /T on 80m? How about efficiency? After my 31m tall vertical broke last sunday (now it's 23m only) my idea is to add 2 x15m top loading wires, mak
Hi Brad, what I can say from my perspective - in the last 10 years I have tried both grounding and terminating through 75ohm resistor. With the terminating I see absolutely no pattern distortion on m
GM, I recently have some strange, pulsating noise on all 300 deg / NA beverages. Maybe someone have already experienced anything like this - what kind of device it can be? Here is a recording on wide
Hi, I have an idea to add parasitic reflector for 80m band into a 27m tall vertical, which I use in the winter for 80/160m. Did anyone try something like this? I mean, an array where "driven element"
Hi, Amazing experience over the past weekend. Mostly SWLing because I'm a bit late this season and my 27m Vertical is still not ready to xmit (no radials...), but managed to put some Beverage's befor
Hi, did anyone work any JA on 160m SSB this weekend? There were some changes in the bandplan, aren't they already allowed to work up to 1875 any mode? 73s Mac SP2XF Well I was hoping to have some SSB

Hi Andy, I could not be 100% QRV in the last few days, so good to hear that conditions improved. Here I'm suffering some local noises (mostly from 15kV power lines) but I don't give up. I will be as
