What did the power line noises sound like? How did they detect from where the nosies were coming? I have some noises here that seem to turn on when I am trying to make that contact. I am wondering if
The best that I have read about for anything terminated is that a wire "radial"? "counterpoise"? be run from the terminating resistor line to ground, in the ground under the antenna wire to the groun
There was a patent on a terminated inverted "V". I use to have a copy of it. It was and end fed inverted "V" with the far end terminated with a non-inductive resistor. To improve efficiency, I believ
The patent was US 4511898 Terminated Inverted V Antenna with Matching Transformer. I think that it is a narrow patent with the main part being the matching transformer. Chris opr VE7HCB List Sponsore
I have seen where I was working for awhile a pulling system that might be the same. It worked very well. The cable was through pullies so that one end of the cable was on the back of the car, the oth
Coke ought to do the trick, it contains carbonic acid, acidic acid and phosphoric acid. The latter is great for removing calcium from teeth and bondes. Just ask your dentist. Coke is also good for re
Has anyoe tried an upside down vertical? Rmember reading about one for 40m awhile back. If corrct in my recall, it had the readial on the top and the vertical feed up there hanging down. From a tree.
Tom: Are you sure that the interference is going throught the air? Could it be going through the power cords? Chris opr VE7HCB List Sponsored by AN Wireless: AN Wireless handles Rohn tower systems, T
Triangulation, mmm some basic formula. To obtain a right angle use a triangle with sides of 3, 4, & 5 units. Can even be made of rope with flags at each of the measurements, and the rope tied as a ci
If you are talking about the clock time that might not be correct. The first variations come from using Standard or Daulight time, the next will be where in the 15 or so degree belt of time you are i
The comment about not raising and lowering too often hits me. I had always thought that the crank-uo (and tiltover) tower was such so that it could be done at will. I even read that one person cranke
May I send again? The method described appears to be to construct a right angle from the right angled iscocelies triangle, ie, two side and two angle the same in a right angle triangle. The difficult
The advice that I have been given (but have not acted thereon) is to bend the ends so that the birds see a "Z" for the antenna. The main part up as high as possible and the braodside thereof to the d
Now this is a good idea, something to work on. I have always said that in the winter the lights are Christmas lights, in the summer patio lights. But my wife makes me take them down anyway. But that
I agree!! When studying arithmetic and such of mathematics at university, the prof said that the units position had to be filled, no matter what. Many marks were lost for writting ".4". He said that
This is gennerally a very good method. HOWEVER, watch for heating along the length of the hose. If one end is hotter than the other, such as, most of the hose is in the shade and part in the blazing
Yes, it probably is for you this time. However, when you first came on the reflector is was probably a very important question for you. I just came onto this reflector, so really have not much to add
Tom: The explaination, as far as I know is correct. However, it does not tell me anything. How do I tell if my antennas is fed what way? In other words how do I tell if it is a current feed or votage
I also saw an article about useing a machine oil o the Al, scapping then soldering under the oil. I think the machine oil has a high flash point and keeps the oxygen away from the clean Al. Chris opr
From my readings of things and listening to things, the idea of tunning near, at, or in the antenna appears to be the best thing to do for most operation. I have been looking at the screwdriver tyes
