Lets just go back to no computers allowed, no internet spots no computer dupe checking -- big paper dupe sheets, etc. HI -- GL 73 Hny/MX Dave N4DB The rule is now LESS clear because Skimmer is mentio
Really? For what B&W is asking for their wire antennas they should guarantee you #1 Honor Roll!! Perhaps the inefficiency is in either the particular installation or the operating skills of the owner
I used this setup while in Ohio with limited space. I dont know why or how it worked as well as it did on the low bands. The lengths are approximate. On 80/75M the antenna was less than 2:1 SWR from
I have never had an antenna higher than 50 feet. I have worked all countries, more than 300 countries on 6 bands, all 40 zones on 6 bands, DXCC 352 countries, etc, etc. Probably many here have bee
John et al All this may be true to some extent but the majority of us don't have the option of stacked HF yagis at 90' HI. I have never had an tower higher than 48 feet yet somehow have managed to w
There are some who will disagree but my vote goes strongly for the Mosley. I had a Mosley PRO67B up in severe storm and ice prone central Ohio for 15 years. During that time I managed DXCC Honor Ro
are we talking about a G5RV or a Windom or both? I've had some success with both on the low bands especially (160 80 40M). 73 Dave N4DB Off-center fed antennas are a really bad idea, primarily becau
Last October I put up a 160M OCF and could not be happier. I consider myself a serious DXer on a budget. Over the past 58 years I have tried a lot of antennas and for the low bands this is the best
I used Penetrox supplied by Mosley and had their beams up for over 44 years. I also used Penetrox on Rohn 25G and on Heigths aluminum tower sections. These beams and towers were taken down and reas
Mosley trap 40 meter elements effective. I had the Mosley TA40KR 40 meter add on kit on an old TA33 and worked over 200 DXCC on 40M with it at less than 50 feet. I then moved from Virginia to Ohio
I put up a 50ft Rohn 25G tower in 1971 using used 25G sections. I bought Rohn screw in anchors and used no concrete, but a Rohn BP25 baseplate (no longer sold). Took this tower down in1987 everythi
Not too difficult, just starting a screw -- I use a 4 foot long pipe thru the eye and start turning. They actually go in easier than you would think. Of course as it gets deeper it becomes more di
Very same thing here too Gary -- what does excessive bounces ?? Heck I havent posted anything in a long time. Are they saying they are sending messages to me and they are bouncing? The better che
