1. Topband: Inverted L or U? (score: 1)
Author: PaulKB8N@aol.com (PaulKB8N@aol.com)
Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2000 22:10:53 EDT
Gang, I'm headed to the Carribean for CQWW this fall. I have a very good antenna situation, with two 70' palm trees about 75' apart. I'm thinking that a 145' inverted L ought to work great, but what

<< Comment about antenna wires lighting fires in trees is, of course, valid. I totally burned up (left ashes only) the fiberglass end inulators on my 160 traped dipole a couple of years ago. Found th

Author: PaulKB8N@aol.com

I'm pretty much restricted to a maximum height of 40' for any antenna I install on my covenant-restricted lot. I have thought about an inverted L, but I also wonder if I can achieve a greater effecti

4. Topband: Conditions Last Night (score: 1)
Author: PaulKB8N@aol.com
Date: Thu, 28 Dec 2006 09:42:26 EST
Last night I got back from my music gig at about 0645Z. As I tuned the band I thought I heard a loud signal calling DF2PY. I soon realized it was DF2PY, pounding in at a solid 599 calling CQ with no

5. Topband: Inductively Loaded Dipole vs. Inverted U dipole (score: 1)
Author: PaulKB8N@aol.com
Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2007 00:45:40 EST
I am trying a few different antenna configurations and would like to get some expert opinion on which of two antennas might work best. I have about 150' between two trees and I wonder if an inductive

Author: PaulKB8N@aol.com

The recent passing of K6SE (and others in the past several months) provides us all with a poignant lesson. Earl has done great things for many of us around the world, but how many of us have taken th

Last night I had my earliest-ever fall-season contact with Europe. I found S59A last night at 0538Z. For many of you, this is no big deal. For me it is amazing. I run an Omni Six at about 70W to a 19

Author: PaulKB8N@aol.com
Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2007 11:06:59 EDT
I've not seen much mentioned about using a magnetic loop as a receiving antenna. I built one for 80M that was a 6' diameter made with PVC and found it to be a fabulous receiving antenna, I could clea

Author: PaulKB8N@aol.com
Date: Mon, 12 Nov 2007 20:55:08 EST
I have a slightly less scientific take on this phenomenon. I was reminded of it when I was on 15M prior to the start of CW Sweepstakes. As I tuned up and down a very quiet band, loud signals appeared

Gents: I've read this who thread and have to say that I think there are two points of view that both deserve due consideration. The first is the viewpoint of intense scientific measurement, the secon

but I've had so many 160 QSOs that were just on the margin, I can't help but think that 1dB shouldn't be neglected. The human ear cannot tell a 1dB difference, but the receiver AGC sure can! Paul, K5

Gang, I've done a lot of antenna experimenting over the years and tried many things that should not theoretically work. I've wrestled with trying to design a good 160M antenna system in my covenant-r

I saw a pretty convincing demo of how a radiant barrier can cut summer A/C costs, and I've committed to having the work done. The radiant barrier consists of a heavy latex coating that is infused wit

I managed to pull out a QSO out of S9 QRN last night with who I thought was ON4ATL, although the call doesn't show up in QRZ.com or anywhere else on the web. Anyone have any idea if this is a valid s

Not so fast! The antenna that I currently have in use is closer to G5RV dimensions than it is to a dipole. It is about 180' long, center fed and up only 30'. I spend maybe two or three hours on 160M

Gang, I am yet another guy with a radial problem, not a lot of space and various impediments in different directions. I do, however, have a nice wooden fence around that is conducive to tacking down
