Hello Gang, This is somewhat related to the "Will radials on ground help?" thread. I have poked around in various discussion groups but haven't found a specific answer. Assuming I have a fairly decen

Thanks to all who replied on and off list to my question about elevating the feed point over an on-ground radial field. May the new year bring great conditions on topband. 73, Jim - WS6X ____________

Thanks to all for the Qs this weekend. This was a good contest weekend for me. I did far better than ever before. My personal best for one night in a 160 contest was 34 EU stations worked; 57 for the

Thanks for the tip Andy. Here in Ohio I notice quite often when EU is coming through on 160 after our SS and until your SR, the next morning I rarely if ever hear VK or the Pacific. To the contrary,

In my experience here in "ROCK"ingham County, I didn't reach the point of diminishing returns until around 32 radials of varying lengths (Most were either 50 or 100' long.). Much would depend on leng

Even after 35+ years of doing the Topband dance, I am still "surprised" at how selective propagation can seem to be. Yes, I know all about S/N on each end of the path, etc., etc. But when Andy speaks

Phil called me on Sunday morning (local) just a bit after my SR. I kept getting "6GX" and then got the "V." There was just too much QRN and QSB for my little RX antenna to pull it through. Sorry Phil
