I have made numerous attempts to "detune" my vertical over the past 6 years. I admit at this point I have no idea what I did wrong or what to try next. I have what I believe to be evidence the vertic
Thanks to everyone who replied (many off list)! I will be working through personal replies and follow-ups but have spent most of the last 24 hours frantically investigating my station setup. I do hav
No problem at all here, using two or three types of compression F connectors. PE jacket flooded direct burial RG6 type cable, one foil and braid, NOT quad shield. They have been in service now for 4

I've been following this discussion with interest. I spent the summer tracking down more than 20 sources of power line noise. As an offshoot of that I've made it my mission to help clean up RFI in my
Thanks for adding to the discussion Don. That reminds me I forgot a couple of important details so I'm replying on-list to add them. I hadn't thought about using a spectrum analyzer even though I'm w
Hi Wolf, I'm not sure if I understand your question. If you are looking for real time solar wind monitoring, you might start here: http://www.aurorasentry.com I have assembled a collection of solar,
Absolutely there is a very strong correlation. I suppose it comes down to what one wants to know and how soon one wants to know it. A index is a 24 hour value so it will usually not show much increas
Mike's passing is very sad news indeed. I had many contacts with Mike over the years, both on topband and elsewhere. Mike helped inspire me to become the topband DXer I am today. I had been chasing D
Hi Dean, Did you search for the right part number? Mouser indicates 748 of the 2.4" 31 mix toroids in stock at $6.94 each. That is where I get mine from. The Fair-Rite part number is 2631803802. 73,
Sorry I'm missing all the fun! I recall being active on 160 throughout the summer back in my early days on the band, mid 1980s, and working a lot of DX during the summer. I had intended to be active
No receive antennas? With 1500 watts into a 100 foot vertical (tower with 7 element 6 meter beam for top loading and nearly 10K feet of wire in radials), and a collection of at best mediocre reversib

Barring unforeseen complications, I should be back on the air in a few days. I plan on calling CQ after my sunset and if I can wake up early enough (I'm working 12 hour days and very tired) prior to
A couple weeks ago I declared my intention to be back on making some feeble noises in a few days. Unfortunately that hasn't happened. At this point I have no idea when I will be QRV, as I just don't
I've done exactly what Herb suggested: hung a sloper for 80M off the side of my 160M shunt-fed tower. Neither antenna knows the other is there and both work pretty well - meaning I'm satisfied with w
I don't know, Carl. I'll leave it to the experts. What I do know is I have made several attempts to erect a vertical for 80 meters near my 160 meter tower, using the same radial system. At 10 foot sp
It looks like Wal-Mart matched Amazon's price to the penny. I recently bought two PS6020 strips for my new ham desk. Jim, are you sure about the MOV's? My understanding is that the PS series have no
