Hi Tim, Rrad goes by the square of height for 'short' verticals so you would see roughly a 40% increase by going to 60'. The difference in your signal would also depend on your ground loss and this w
Thanks Tom, I should have proofread before posting. So if you're on a small lot, every bit of height helps. Incidently, our own Frank Davis VO1HP recently earned his DXCC on 160 -- from an urban lot
Opal, Jack's XYL called to tell me that Jack is in hospital having suffered a heart attack. He is in intensive care on the 4th floor of Dartmouth General and is alert and talking, but in need of rest
Is there any info on the effects of a sloping radial field on monopole radiation, take off angles, etc? It is planned to erect a tower on a hillside but NEC4 doesn't deal with this. 73 and thanks Joe
It also prevents oxidation of the copper, but I'm not sure how significant an improvement this will be in terms of Q. Joe VO1NA _______________________________________________ Topband mailing list To
Hi Dave, Topbanders, You probably remember VO1FB. He was very active with and was the top band VO leader until his harmonic found his way to 160 in the 80's! As far as I know, Frank was first. 73 Joe
Congrats to Frank VO1HP who recenty earned his 160m WAZ with 32 zones confirmed. Frank has a small back yard and evidently a lot of technical skill and determination. Well done Frank! 73 Joe VO1NA __

Hi George, My thanks for an excellent operation under very adverse conditions: WX, propagation and the usual lidmanship. You and the team did very well and deserve a good pat on the back! 73 & TNX Jo
Very sad to learn of Bob's passing. He was an erudite gentleman and an inspiration to yours truly and many more. He and his column will be sadly missed. 73 Joe VO1NA Bob's column in TCA was one that
Just had a quick listen (0044 utc) 1.8-2.0 MHz. CW on the bottom, a bit of SSB and AM on the upper part of the band. Other than a bit of crud at 1880 kHz, 160 sounds normal. Nothing but QRN on 1915.
Congtats Mike. They had great sigs this AM. Heard Jack VE1ZZ work them around 1025 utc after I shovelled the driveway in the dawn. Hoping to see more posts from W8JI. I'm not remotely qualified to ra
Similar obs here. They started out quite strong, went through a period of deep in/out QSB and were unreadable at 0200. Their log is now updated to 2016-01-21 18:50UT. FB operator down there! 73 Joe V
