Just an FYI, I have a 140 footer here with an 8' mast that sticks out of the top. The tower has a 205BAS at the top with a 2 ele Mosley 40 meter beam about 10' under it. My tower, however, is series

Rys: I think the last serious effort on 160 that I can recall was FW2EH in 1996. He spent quite a bit of time on the band, if I recall correctly. The FW5RE team is definitely doing a great job on the

Esteemed Topbanders: I just received my cards back from the DXCC and they rejected my ER4ER card from 20-Nov-2008 saying the operation was a "pirate operation". I wonder if any of the rest of you hav

Here's an update on the ER4ER situation. I e-mailed Vlad, RA4LW this morning to inquire about the problem with my 160 QSL being rejected as a "pirate operation". Vlad assured me that the callsign was

The FCC M-3 Map, although used for predicting coverage and interference for AM broadcast stations at the application stage, uses theoretical soil conductivity data from the 1950's. Although it will g

Dennis: You have not reached a point of diminishing returns here. Although you see no virtual change in the antenna VSWR, the radiation efficiency of the antenna system improves every time you add ad

Jim: When you are burying radials for a vertical antenna, you do not need to tune them. Just make them as long as you can (not to exceed 0.4 wavelengths) and you are done. The 0.4 wavelength number c

When I put my ground system in for my 160 base insulated vertical, I entertained the idea of using an edger to slit the ground. However, I could not justify the cost of one powerful enough that would
