- Hi Kenny, It's always great to hear you calling CQ on 160m most nights! To start, I tune my elements for resonance quite high in frequency, well above my design frequency. On 160m, that is way up abo

- Here at VE6WZ I worked 9 EU on Sunday night. Saturday was rather poor. Trans-polar signals had tremendous deep and fast QSB making QSOs a challenge, but those I called had good ears. Logged CT3, DL,

- A surprising trans-polar opening last night here into VE6. At the peak of the solar cycle, my DX-pectations are quite low, but 19 EU made it into the VE6WZ log. At around 320z I heard a very faint tr

- Hi Stan, Yes, I built a small regulated power supply and source my 9C, and all of my TI amps in the field with +15v. The TI amps all have a 12v zener so more than 12v is no problem. My most distant T
