Tom- MY OPINION- White lists cause more trouble than they solve. If someone that I have not pre-approved (because I have not heard from them before) wants to send me a message- how do they do it? The

Two comments: 1. Yes, there is a cable-end equivalent to an SO 238, that matches to a PL 239. (I use them, but don't remember the designation) 2. I thought the myth of "High insertion loss" had been
Another comment: Apparently I can't remember the designation of ANY Coax fitting. Sorry. At any rate, I use both Male and Female coax cable end fittings and "barrel" couplers of various lengths. Bill
Is my intuitive logic wrong? It seems to me that the antenna has nothing to do with the characteristics of the ionosphere; it only controls ones ability to accept and use the signals that are there.
I just got my copy of the new ARRL Handbook- While I have not had time to look at it much, I can tell you that the indexing is as bad as ever, and-- the name "Beverage" is not even in the index. (for
Tom- I agree that it is an essential reference for Hams, especially me. ( I need all the help I can get). However, one of the main limitations of any reference is the index; if it's not listed there,
I note a lot of people recommending stainless steel or Bronze wool to seal the conduit ends. This is a good I dea, but only if you use rhe "Real Thing". After encountering rust on scrubbers that were
It's the Best!- I used it 45 years ago on sports cars. However- I think the spelling needs checking. Bill At 07:57 AM 11/12/2004 -0500, Randy wrote: Maguire's Plastic Polish works very well also...Av
Barry- I think the Cap is really a phase control in the reversing circuit, not a starting Cap.. The value may be more critical than for starting. Check the manual. Bill At 06:49 PM 11/29/2004 +0000,

The program "TA" has been mentioned recently, and referenced as being in the ARRL Antenna book. Unfortunately, the version I have has no disk. (An early edition) I do have several of the later Compen
Thanks- My version is an earlier one. I was hoping it was in one of the supplements (Compendia). Oh well. At 04:02 PM 1/8/2005 -0700, Gerry Smith wrote: Antenna Book, 20th edition or later Gerry Smit
Pete- Thanks for the clarification- The source of my confusion was a post that mentioned "TA" and the elevation database. HFTA is apparently what I really want. I guess I will have to get a later Ant
I would like to point out that this was NOT put on to the list by Steve. He only posted , recently, in response to MANY speculative bashes based on only one post from the "customer". Get real, here.
This recent flap has taught me several things- I still respect Steve- There are several others on the list I DID respect, but do not, now. All the bashing based on ONE obviously biased post astounded
Tom Rauch, et alTime and LOTS of reading and checking have taught me that not heeding Your (Tom R) advice is a bad idea. Usually and However. (There is ALWAYS this pair of caveats.) My memory of read
