For Azimuth data, I would like to recommend Geoclock . If you take the Ham option, it comes with a large map file on CD, with the important one being an Azimuthal map centered on your QTH. The clinch
Rick-- There may be a communication problem in the specs about strength here. For the Titanium alloy, you say "Ultimate strength" but for the Aluminum, you don't say whether it is Ultimate or yield,
GaryWithin your post are some indications of confusion. I think your computer is NOT dead, but either the cable to the monitor is out, or the monitor is bad. If the computer was indeed dead, you coul
Guy--(and others who may contribute) I have been following your posts, and have some questions, brought on by a view at the W0UCE diagrams, at: http://www.w0uce.net/K2AVantennas.html The top figure s
Guy-- Thanks-- beautifully described. It is as I thought, but the diagram on the W0UCE page confused me, particularly with the connections to the Counterpoise. Bill--W4BSG ___________________________

Jim-- Forgive me, but this is a completely ambiguous statement. I have read many conflicting statements on this subject. So, how can I believe what I read? Please be specific about what you mean, and
JOHN-- We are fortunate that you are only allowed an opinion, not a directie. Also-- Most posters give their call when yelling. Bill--W4BSG Digimodes on top band.NO THANK YOU. Send Topband mailing li
Mike-- Often, quoting eHam is repeating nonsense. Sorry, but it is so, and this is a good example. Any Ham that relies on published Velocity factor data, without verification, gets errors, and (frequ
Robert-- Was there anything you added to the earlier (included) posts? I did not see anything from you. What was the purpose of this? Bill--W4BSG All the years I have been on top band, I can't recall
Gentlemen-- I am learning a LOT, but there is a Great Deal of confusion (at least in my mind) because at least three quite different conditions are involved. We have the base fed 1/4 wave vertical; t

Carl-- Earlier, you claimed that Tom had taken apposing sides on the turns spacing question, and, at his request, furnished a quote of his for reference. That was the base for my post, not any tests
I HATE it when Topbanders get bored; thing like this "WCKY<WLW" etc flood out. Bill--W4BSG 1.7 megawatts out of WLW was no doubt the highest power run by anyone in the Western Hemisphere on medium wa
