THUNDERSTORMS I use thunderstorms as harbingers of imminent good conditions on topband. If a thunderstorm prevents me from getting on the band, then you can bet your bottom dollar some juicy DX will

'Tis ever thus... However, if some of the guys who'd already worked a UA0 hadn't coaxed Vlad out of the shadows with their CD DX's, he might not have known how wide open the band was this morning. He

I agree with your sentiment, but also consider this: Just about one year ago, I became very frustrated at not being able to hear the FT5XO DXpedition on topband. So, I resolved to light a candle rath

I knew this would be misunderstood. I am filled with compassion for everyone (myself included) who tries to work the DX on topband and is often frustrated. But I am mystified by the attitude that if

Jeff, Some ferrite materials are design to change permeability with DC bias, sometimes by as much as a factor of ten. I'm not sure if all mixes will do this or only those specifically designed to do
