There are two messages in this topic: One is the interference from this particular BC station. Not a crisis, not yet. Two is a warning: Newly installed solid-state AM broadcast amplifiers in poorly r

Martin, Two things: 1. The antenna does not become "useless" when the loops are longer than 1/4 wave. It just won't work as a DHDL, but may still be useful as a low noise RX antenna. 2. The DHDL is a

David, I have modeled both side-by-side and in-line phased DHDL arrays, but I have only tested the in-line version. NEC indicates that a RDF of 12 dB is possible. The in-line DHDL array that I have t

Andy is right: FT8 should in a separate category. Especially, when we consider the "dirty little secret": Increasingly, a number of ops are using fully automated FT8 stations. Most of the time they a

Nobody is talking about "shutting" anything down. Quite the opposite: expand the DXCC program by creating a new category! FT-x is sufficiently different to justify that. The skills need for FT-x are

Pat, There is one thing that could make a "portable" antenna and QRP work on 160 meters: Salt water! If you can make the antenna stand over and grounded to the water, or right on the water's edge wit

Jeff, Please ignore the negative comments. FT8 is perfectly good. CW would have been harder but "better"! (i.e. more valued by the old-timers.) But with FT8 you've made more people happy! 73, George,

Gentlemen, I think we need to be a bit more thoughtful about the role of FT8. "Real Amateur Radio" probably started to disappear 40 years ago: digital transceivers, SSB, Yagis on rotators, etc. Altho
