21. Topband: Conditions Last Night (score: 1): Author: Roger Parsons <ve3zi@yahoo.com>; Date: Sat, 8 Jan 2005 15:47:03 +0000 (GMT); The experience up here last night was quite different. I called the 5T5 for a long time with no results. I gave up when it sunk in that I could only hear him on the east beverage using the preamp (no; /archives//html/Topband/2005-01/msg00125.html (8,116 bytes)
22. Topband: Re: S-meter (score: 1): Author: Roger Parsons <ve3zi@yahoo.com>; Date: Sun, 9 Jan 2005 02:27:15 +0000 (GMT); I should make it clear that I always give reports by ear - and well appreciate that S-meter readings are totally meaningless, partly because of the lack of calibration of receivers, but mostly becaus; /archives//html/Topband/2005-01/msg00144.html (7,702 bytes)
23. Topband: 160m Last Night (score: 1): Author: Roger Parsons <ve3zi@yahoo.com>; Date: Sat, 15 Jan 2005 15:46:52 +0000 (GMT); Some excellent, although spotty conditions last night. DJ0MDR was enormous - sounding like he was local. I heard SU9NC weakly for a short while, but there was a big European pile-up, and he wasn't re; /archives//html/Topband/2005-01/msg00194.html (7,329 bytes)
24. Topband: Key Clicks (score: 1): Author: Roger Parsons <ve3zi@yahoo.com>; Date: Wed, 19 Jan 2005 19:20:08 +0000 (GMT); It has been mentioned that the IC765 is prone to key clicks. These are especially bad if one is working break-in and using the ACC socket ptt output as the amplifier is hot switched on break. I event; /archives//html/Topband/2005-01/msg00244.html (7,678 bytes)
25. Re: Topband: CQ 160 CW Contest Observations (score: 1): Author: Roger Parsons <ve3zi@yahoo.com>; Date: Tue, 1 Feb 2005 13:08:23 +0000 (GMT); The scoring system is quite unfair, but it is considerably less unfair than when it gave NA two complete nights and much of the rest of the world only one! 160m is not a very geographically fair band; /archives//html/Topband/2005-02/msg00005.html (8,022 bytes)
26. Topband: 6O0CW Spotlight (score: 1): Author: Roger Parsons <ve3zi@yahoo.com>; Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2005 03:01:37 +0000 (GMT); Four VE3 stations worked the 6O on Saturday night, yet I didn't hear any US at all get through. Wonder if that is correct, and what sort of signal he was south of the border? He was a consistent 559-; /archives//html/Topband/2005-02/msg00093.html (6,789 bytes)
27. Topband: 160 Last Night - and Clicks... (score: 1): Author: Roger Parsons <ve3zi@yahoo.com>; Date: Sun, 13 Feb 2005 15:56:36 +0000 (GMT); Managed to work quite a few G stations in the RSGB contest last night - first time since 2001 that conditions have supported that. UK9AA was heard for over an hour, ranging from 339/zero up to 579 to; /archives//html/Topband/2005-02/msg00152.html (8,185 bytes)
28. Re: Topband: Better low band conditions?, (score: 1): Author: Roger Parsons <ve3zi@yahoo.com>; Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2005 22:14:54 +0000 (GMT); I have no doubt that conditions here have been significantly better this season than during the previous 3 or 4 years. They are still substantially worse than they were when I first moved here in 199; /archives//html/Topband/2005-03/msg00173.html (8,116 bytes)

Topband: 5Z4DZ and a Memory (score: 1): Author: Roger Parsons <ve3zi@yahoo.com>; Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2005 15:35:36 +0100 (BST); I could hear little bits and pieces from Alex last night, but that was all. Still hoping. When I operated as 5Z4LE back in 1968, it was noticeable that the US sunset peak was very much better than th; /archives//html/Topband/2005-03/msg00232.html (7,707 bytes)
30. Topband: FT5XO Direction (score: 1): Author: Roger Parsons <ve3zi@yahoo.com>; Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2005 15:50:39 +0100 (BST); FWIW I have been hearing FT5XO just about every evening with signals ranging up to 579, and usually stronger after his sunrise. On EVERY occasion he has been best on my 120 degree beverage, mostly au; /archives//html/Topband/2005-03/msg00252.html (6,671 bytes)
31. Topband: More lowbad operation from TZ5A the next few days (score: 1): Author: Roger Parsons <ve3zi@yahoo.com>; Date: Mon, 28 Nov 2005 20:58:05 +0000 (GMT); Well, from my point of view the operation was a little 'lowbad' during the contest - couldn't get through! They were clearly having major receiving difficulties, CQing in the face of loud Eu and Na c; /archives//html/Topband/2005-11/msg00342.html (7,381 bytes)
32. Re: Topband: Carrier on 1820.4 (score: 1): Author: Roger Parsons <ve3zi@yahoo.com>; Date: Fri, 9 Dec 2005 01:53:16 +0000 (GMT); The carrier is roughly equal strengths on my 120 and 150 degree beverages, and distinctly weaker at 90 and 180 degrees from Sudbury north eastern Ontario. It is also fairly high angle and very strong; /archives//html/Topband/2005-12/msg00093.html (7,752 bytes)
33. Topband: Conditions last night (score: 1): Author: Roger Parsons <ve3zi@yahoo.com>; Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2005 21:23:54 +0000 (GMT); I was very struck by the sudden change in conditions last night. At 0400Z the band was completely dead here - could only barely hear the EA cross band CQ machine. At about 0500 I weakly heard TA3D ca; /archives//html/Topband/2005-12/msg00192.html (7,756 bytes)
34. Topband: Conditions this morning (score: 1): Author: Roger Parsons <ve3zi@yahoo.com>; Date: Wed, 25 Jan 2006 21:51:16 +0000 (GMT); Just to add a comment from a bit further north. I would have thought that the path from New England to JA would have more or less gone over me. Well, that is exactly what it did! I could hear a few o; /archives//html/Topband/2006-01/msg00365.html (8,070 bytes)

Topband: FO/DL1AWI (score: 1): Author: Roger Parsons <ve3zi@yahoo.com>; Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2006 16:35:47 +0000 (GMT); For reasons related to incurable insomnia (:-) I was on 160m about 0700Z this morning. I was extremely impressed to hear FO/DL1AWI listening closely for Europe and making several very clearly genuine; /archives//html/Topband/2006-02/msg00121.html (7,013 bytes)

Re: Topband: Coax Choke Balun (score: 1): Author: Roger Parsons <ve3zi@yahoo.com>; Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2009 09:13:45 -0800 (PST); "There is a MAJOR advantage to using a ferrite core -- it makes the choke RESISTIVE rather than inductive." With respect, I don't believe this to be correct. A ferrite/dust iron cored inductor has ex; /archives//html/Topband/2009-11/msg00324.html (8,128 bytes)
37. Topband: Edger for burying ground radials ? (score: 1): Author: Roger Parsons <ve3zi@yahoo.com>; Date: Sat, 12 Dec 2009 09:24:22 -0800 (PST); Hi Ed Emphatically yes! I have always used a hand edger and/or spade to cut slots in grass for radials (hard work), but a few months ago I found an electric edger on sale at Home Depot - about C$50 w; /archives//html/Topband/2009-12/msg00140.html (7,504 bytes)

39. Topband: Noise problem question (score: 1): Author: Roger Parsons <ve3zi@yahoo.com>; Date: Mon, 19 Dec 2011 11:50:30 -0800 (PST); Dave The only thing I would mention is that overhead lines of all types can carry medium frequency signals for long distances, and that drop lines and ground wires make great antennas.

Topband: 1820 BCB (score: 1): Author: Roger Parsons <ve3zi@yahoo.com>; Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2011 16:14:39 -0800 (PST); I am over 500 miles north-east of WDOR, and their spurious signal on 1820 kHz is over S9 with me in the past week or so.
