I heard you in Tucson with a good signal (559) this morning 1 hour after my sunrise. Wes N7WS This morning - RA4LW checked in with a good signal - but no other Europeans were worked. I have worked a
I heard TZ4AM last night here in AZ on my one and only antenna, my 55' inverted-L. I didn't call, since I've worked him before. Wes N7WS. On 12/17/2018 3:33 PM, Gary Smith wrote: Last night around
My opinion is that it adds unwanted horizontal radiation. Some will argue that the current in the upper part of vertical radiator is increased, but so is the current in the horizontal part, somethin
Noise is signal spread over a large bandwidth, We tune our receivers to a frequency to copy signals in a relatively narrow bandwidth. Nevertheless, there is some of that noise in that same bandwidt
Although licensed for 60 years I'm a relative newby on topband. (I did work VE7 in 1959 but that's another story). I decided to semi-seriously take up the band to acquire my 9th DXCC band award. As
I just drove down to the local convenience store and bought some Powerball tickets. If I win, there's a nice 80 acre parcel across the street from me that I would buy. Until then, I'm stuck on a 1.

Your "apparent" and mine are different because it isn't apparent to me that I advocated that. I offered a possible explanation to what Todd is observing and provided the title of a reference source
As always Frank makes good points. In my case my one lowly tower is 90 feet from the inverted-L and in fact supports the horizontal wire. It's much too short to exhibit any resonance near topband,
I'm not a contester but do look for new ones during contests. Big bust for me. EUs were non-existent. D4C was strong, but apparently deaf to the west. I'm guessing using an RX antenna looking to E
A great summary of my feelings. Wes N7WS in the speaker. I love that technology is marching forward, BUT I want to be there with it. I am with CW and SSB and to a much lesser degree RTTY (I do a vy
I first worked them on 160 on 2/8 @1201Z. Very marginal so tried again with a sure QSO @1222Z. Went to 80 and worked them @1404Z. This one didn't show when it should have in Clublog, so worked them
