I think the exchange 59(9) plus 6-character grid ie KN29AU will give the exact distance between the two. Most if not all contest software support this format which is widely used in VHF contesting. U
This common "non-stop calling" operating practice has nothing to do with WEB based receivers but rather poor receiving and bad operating skills. If one uses WEB receiver he can easily calculate the a
Using them a lot between VHF and UHF boxes to break ground RF paths. Really helps to prevens all kinds of unpredictable oscillation effects. Planning to be on 160 this coming season to finish Tob Ban

This is only partially true. If a DXpedition is carefully planned, like, say, VP6DX and I'm sure upcoming Clipperton will be, it will be heard by thousands and one needs everything he/she has +1 dB t
I received 7O6T QSLs for 80-10 today directly. Paid $5 as requested. Missed them on 160 as started to chase for them on TB too late for EU. 73 Vic _________________ Topband Reflector
I was taught this kind of antenna during two semester course at radio department of Lvov Polytechnic at the begining of 70's. A lot of formulas and diagrams... UA1DZ (SK) used this kind of array of
Arunas, Was it shieded FTP-5, SFTP-5 or just unshieded UTP-5 At work we measured the single pair impedance being around 100 Ohm on 10 MHz. Do you use any kind balun-transformer at the receiving end?
Hope this will be of some interest for those using twisted pair instead of coax. The company I work for is manufacuring all kinds of 75 Ohm / UTP balun adapters and surge protection units. The one I
Hi folks, I have always been thinking that Amsterdam I. is in Indian Ocean. Did they move it to Pacific for a DXpedition? Seriously, I have finally was able to tune my new 27.5 meter vertical with
Hi All, 4V1JR was the only Carribean multiplier than did not answer me on 10 meters (SOSB HIGH 10m this year). To get others one or two calls from newly installed 6 element quad https://www.youtube.
Hi Mike, We have the similar, very informative RUS-ENG site here. http://www.tesis.lebedev.ru/forecast_activity.html Both me and Helen have finished our EM-EO90WF activity and are back trying to comp
Hi folks, I have the receiving site in KN18QU with Afedri SDR-NET and bidirectional NW-SE (after terminator was removed) beverage. Setup is similar to VO1HP's. The distance between KN18QU and KN29AU
Hi Mike, I remember somebody in OK-land had similar idea. I see no problem when someone is making the RX site for his own personal use. -- 73, Victor Goncharsky US5WE/K1WE (UW5W in VHF contests, EO90
Hi Jim, I think authorities did their best to allow ON folks all frequencies they wanted. The problem,I think, is purely technical. Their low band signals aren't strong even here in KN29AU. Just comp

Hi Jim, Thanks for the response. I've wrote a request to both superstations but no positive response. Will be trying with KL7KY and WL7E. I was also advised to get in touch with N7XM and N6ET in NV.

Garry, In the good old days when I was learning the art of ham radio from Don Miller's DX and contest operations and my Dad UB5WF, I've got an idea of the ham spirit that makes all of us equal under
