Hi all, It has been reported to me that my call was heard during the SP test... however, as much as I would have loved to participate, I was NOT on and currently have no 160m antenna. So if K1UO mana
Could someone tell me the length of top loading wires (4 wires planned) needed to add to the top of a base insulated 90 foot Rohn 25g tower to maximize the radiation resistance on 160 meters. I under
Larry, As has been noted... worth a look and invokes serious thought on how to administer DXCC and other Awards within a constantly evolving Radio environment. DISCLAIMER: I guess since I'm currently
Hello all.. This AM on 160 meters there was a station CQing on 1.820.6 with a fundamental freq signal strength of S9 on my K3. I also found (with the NB on) that I could hear him Q5 but very weak on

I found some small aluminum coil taps at DX Engineering I will try on the time. The ss band clamp thing I saw on uTube (lol) but obviously he was not running 1500 watts and, with me not having tried
@Tim, For the sake of my experiment I was indeed using the band clamp to hold a small aluminum eyelet soldered onto#14 wire for the tap wire. The wire used for the coil is solid copper 10 gauge wire.
