JWIT, Or to put it, just what I think. Paul's description of how WSPR and FT8 can/is automatic points out what a lot of us object to. It would not be bad IF they had a separate class for DXCC for the
Maybe the International Space Station could reflect a 160 meter signal or reradiate it. It's larger than a football field. Just a thought. Let's see, people could use the space station to bounce sign
Hi Folks, A few years back some 9913 I was using apparently got water in the coax. I say this because of fluctuating SWR issues and I noted the shield when cut into was almost 'black'. So for my mino
Hi Bob, The issue I'm faced with is I have 168' to the base of my tower. The Comtek 4-square box is another 64' up the tower. To get to the wattmeter just outside my shack window is perhaps 15-20 mor
Hi John and everyone, Well, today along with some other antenna projects I swapped in the 9913 and it appears to be working OK. My dump power on the NE direction for the 80 mtr 4-Square is reading ab
Don't know what to think of this. I just worked V84SAA on 7175 at 9:52AM PST! He is a very good copy 56/7 on my K3. Something it's hard to figure for almost 10AM on 40 mtrs. Terry KI7M ______________
Hi Guys, Why should it be necessary to send an email to the DXp's contact when they said they would operate SSB? What is the point of dropping SSB for a XX9D to publish their band plan and not follow
Hi folks, One of the problems with using https://dx.qsl.net/propagation/greyline is trying to calculate what time GMT will be the sunrise or sunset time in places like the A5A, FR7, XX9, etc. Does an
Got the answer. Just need to look at the detail page on QRZ for the DX station I want! Dahhhh! Terry KI7M _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
Thanks to some helpful folk a little more observant that me perhaps I found the simplex is to us DXWatch and put you mouse over the DX station you want. Read the fine print Terry! The other easy meth
Hi folks, I have searched the web without success for the manual for the MFJ-482 model Grandmaster memory keyer. Would anyone have a manual they could make a copy of. I picked this unit up at a local
WOW. What a response! Thanks a lot guys, I got more copies than I know what to do with. Now if I can just figure out the programming maybe I can at least get 'KI7M', 'SNN" and 'T U' in the keyer and
Can someone also send a copy of the MFJ-482 manual to Lance, lanceh@futuretk.com. he asked me for a copy but thanks to windows and my inept computer skills I can't forward a copy to him. Terry KI7M _
Well, I was putting up my WX0B/Array Solutions K9AY receive antenna and found the units ohm out bad. So maybe someone on topband has a k9ay antenna setup they no longer use? Thought I'd ask. Already
Just FYI... Thanks for the help. Still fiddling with mine. The relays click both for terminations and switching directions but only the SW show continuity to the coax connection. Other reading a non-
FWIW guys and gals, I can tell you the lack of activity is not just on CW and not just one band. I've lately been getting up early enough to catch the morning European openings on 20 SSB. Rarely do I
You are so right Dave. Even from the west coast working JA's it can require a lot of work and perseverance especially with the weak ones. There are times working 3 or even 4 a minute can occur but I
Hi folks, I have been using the good weather here in Oregon to get quite a bit of mowing done and the thought has occurred to me that farming and ham radio don't mix. With my little Cub ST-100 I cut
Hi folks, I am in need of a Rohn 25 flat top plate or maybe a strong rotor/bearing plate. I've got to make a custom pulley and smaller return pulley setup for using my Ramsey worm gear winch to raise
Hi folks, I have four kits purchased on ebay for receive antennas as well as a bi-directional beverage from KD9SV. Looking on my county plot map it looks like I can run about a 412' beverage using my
