It's funny/strange for me. Every time I read watch out for Windows updates I have no problem. But when I hear nothing or I read this Windows update is good no problems...that's when I get hit. Change

We had some really good discussion on this reflector in the past week or two. "Common mode choking","RX Power over Coax","Receive ant binocular cores","Super Kaz delta,"Waller Flag". And now we are b
Roger, That was not my intention. Sorry about that. I only included you're text so I could answer you about USA and our stations. I know you have not said anything about FT-8. 73 Fred KB4QZH -- Orig
Plenty of more experienced operators have already gave their insight. But... here's my 2 cents.. When I started back in the 80s. I first tried Dipole on 160 worked a few local stations out to 200-300

Billy, I was a little off on my guesstimate the K9AY loop center is 138' from the center of my inverted L. It is however about 40' from my north Beverage. When testing my K9AY I can see many instance

I resent this from my PC... For some reason when I send email to this reflector it takes out all spacing in my text. Makes it hard to read... Frank, Thanks for help. The property is on a slope that d
Jim, Thank you very much. And I can confirm that even short (300') Beverages work on slopes. I do have one question please will loops like the VE3DO,DHDL and others work on a slope? 73 Fred KB4QZH On
I think the topography here 4 square is out. It's pretty steep on either side of my creek. So I think that leaves Beverages and loops. I think I will try to realign my NE Beverage to get 580' out of
Roger, I for one don't like to hear that Eu stations are not calling CQ. Maybe I'm alone on this but why not just call CQ NA only? I rarely call CQ Contest I'm a S&P station. I really don't contest a
Working Lloyd in Hawaii in 2019...that was a good one ..I about fell out of my chair on that one... I love to work Eu on 160 doesn't happen to me much. And I also love to work VK's on 40 too. Not su
