Ok, thanks for the many responses. The infected host computer for this thing is NOT subscribed to the Tower Talk reflector. I have heard from no one else who has rcvd this particular problem who is o

Evidently these CC&R restrictions can expire. At least here in Hawaii they do. We bought a 20 some year old home which had had restrictions. The neighbors were a bit upset when I put up my MA-550 wit

Hi, I have had an MA-550 up for about 10 years out here. Had the cable rust through and break about 3 years ago! Happened for two reasons: (1) I was careless about keeping some sort of rust preventio
An excellent "book" on this subject was published in 1993 by LTA and the Radio Bookstore. Book is by R. Dean Straw, N6BV, titled "All the Right Angles". The book is full of detailed data, charts, com
Hope it pays well, or is somehow worth that much time, Arne! Life does hold other stuff beside work. Believe me, I know. Almost lost my wife/family from being away from home so much while my kids we
Interesting to learn of the true loss in our connectors. Now, what about our AD switches. I have several: Delta 2's and 4's. I had occasion to open one following a switch failure. Was "shocked" to se
Of course, Pat, you are assuming I was exceeding the legal limits of output power. And maybe I was, for the instant that this occurred. It was just days after I rcv'd the 8K from Henry, some three y
Excellent info about the Alpha Delta switches. I will continue to use them here, and will now begin to add them AFTER the linear, hi. Just be sure that the Pout does not exceed the legal limit, that
I have fed my F12 C4 (C3 plus 40 meter dipole) on two bands, simultaneous keying. Put out about kW on either 15 or 20; and 100 watts or so on either 30 (using a tuner) or 40 to the EF-140S element o
Hi Pete, I have both the VFD and the older R.F.Apps. P-3000 meter. The P-3000 had the ability to display either forward (including the added re-reflected power), the "True"/real forward power or jus

BTW, the XMatch tuner I mentioned by N4XM, is called a "Classic Lowbander" tuner. The design contemplates use primarily on 160 and 80. It works 40 on up, but perhaps not with the highest efficiency n

The resistors "die" when the rig transmits with the attenuator still in the antenna lead!! Be careful with that attenuator, whether you build it up from a kit, or buy one: they are for receive use o
Yes, and of course I have used these color codes for everything since about 1953! Similar to the color sequence of the stars by temperature: O, B, A , F, G, K, M, R, N, S! "Oh, be a fine girl, kiss
After a look at the M.O.&O., I think it is pretty clear the FCC is ducking! They want the ARRL to take it to Congress; let those folks take the lobby heat from all the Homeowners Associations and oth
Hi, Need my memory jogged! I believe I recall that the kTB value, at near room temperature, and in a 1 mHz bandwidth, the formula will calculate to be -114 dBm of noise power -- is this correct? Or c
