Topbanders I just ran out a 500 ft BOG. Now its unterminated. I'd appreciate any suggestions for a terminating resistor value. Or, is 500 ft a good length to leave it unterminated? -- 73 Art K6XT ___
Brian Contesters want to work everyone. No sane contester is going to ask why anyone enters. Get in there and enjoy yourself! If it takes a few tries to copy a call because they're speedy, that's OK.
Great advice Rick. In my post I should have added something about eradicating every nonessential dit from the exchange. 73 Art K6XT~~ Success is going from failure to failure without a loss of enthus
It most likely also means whatever Jimmy is connecting the radials to is probably not the actual antenna. This result just cannot be, if the radial system were connected to the radiating element. 73
Same boat here. Many callers up to a half kc off freq. Whether I worked them or my compatriot CQer nearby is sometimes a guess. The directional rx antennas were sometimes a pain, sometimes the soluti
Tree thanks for sticking with me when you called me. It took some tries but 1)finally figured out which antenna to use and 2)copied your whole call. I agree entirely about using the N6RO approved "al
Another good source for an ultrasonic (US) kit and a construction article is www.midnightscience.com, website of The Xtal Set Society. I built a receiver (about $150) on their instructions. It has be
And now we have the longer, lower, wider, heavier, more expensive, FAR less copiable RST system proposed by N7RR. A typical 120Hz buzz report might be "PAR". Par for the course? Par for the sending s
Fellow denizens I was just sending for TN2T QSLs via OQRS. A donation question arose due to the way I did this. I sent a TN2T donation on 17 Jan. Then, to complete the OQRS QSL process, today I sent
While that might be true for 30M, 160 is exposed to multiple modes including SSB. Various worldwide band plans. As W4TV points out antennas that, if worth their salt, are probably a lot narrower than
Like VE3XZ I like real cards. But, striking out for my goal of over 300 on each HF band, less 160 where I don't have enough goo nor enough years, I concluded the expense could be better directed towa
"Try" 160 at 2300Z? What it will take is a daily dedication to the low bands (80 and 40 needed here as well) for as long as its dark in 3C0. 2300Z is still 90 minutes to sunset in CO and 3 hours on t
I started that thread without a real thought of its applicability to 3C6A. Just pointing out the facts, ma'am as Jack might say. In fact 3C6A ops seem to be doing very well sticking with a call til i
This isn't necessarily a plug, and I have no pecuniary interest. Thankfully the K3 has an adjustable audio limiter, and also a hi/lo gain setting, for those of us who use these techniques listening t
