In response to comments off the reflector I have written up a step by step description of how I adjust my MFJ-1026 for noise cancellation. The URL is http://www.k0to.us/HAM/Noise/adjusting_MFJ-1026.h
There was a note a few weeks ago on this reflector ( I think) discussing the replacement of the leg insulator on the HyTower. Someone suggested making replacements from Delrin (Delran?). I think they
As a follow on to the postings I made previously showing use of the MFJ-1026 to cancel line noise, I have added some spectrum analyzer pictures captured Saturday morning (about 7:00 AM Idaho time) du
I am not sure that I agree with Tom (yet) on this one. rooms and DX clusters that allow people who can't hear but transmit well to work DX they would never work through radio alone. Once the rule was
Best idea yet. And not one can possible criticize it -- or can they? Tod, KØTO _______________________________________________ Topband mailing list Topband@contesting.com http://lists.contest
Steve Ireland provided a discussion of the V6 kit for 160m and I immediately ordered one with which to experiment. I am curious to know if I can use the little receiver for detecting 160m signals tha
I have received MANY inquires about the Soft Rock kits. Since I am lazy, I decided it was easiest to post the requested information on the reflector rather than respond to each of the inquires separa
For the several people who had inquired of me -- Tony Parks has another 1000 V6 kits available. For information and ordering use his email address => mailto:raparks@ctcisp.com I have no financial int
Tom: Is there anything on your web site that discusses how one could run a check on the MFJ-259B and feel comfortable that their analyzer diodes are functioning correctly? [preferably a simple check
I would appreciate the assistance of readers in determining the generator of the noise signals I am observing here in Idaho on 160 meters using a pair of K9AY loops. The loops perform as expected on
In response to requests I have added text explanations under the various spectrum scans for the web site note, I also added two additional scans that show more clearly the amplitude roll-off between
I am using this as the most efficient way to communicate with the many folks who sent me ideas about sources and search methodology for my 'unique' 160 meter noise. 1. Taking the suggestions of a num
Well, this was a sobering exercise. Every conjecture I came up with was wrong. The noise is gone and I know exactly what was generating it. Finding it was a bit serendipitous however. When I last wro
I guess this is cogent. _______________________________________________ Topband mailing list Topband@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/topband
A number of emails have asked me if I would be operating in Idaho during the Stu Perry event. Usually I am in Minnesota at that time of year. This year is different and for the first time I can try i
I had the good fortune to acquire about 15 windsurfer fiberglass masts a low cost when a manufacturer discontinued operation. The bases accommodate a 2 inch diameter aluminum tube. The mast (which is
The following appeared on the Minnesota Wireless Association reflector. Steve Fraasch, K0SF, has been searching for this noise source for four years! If you have questions he can be contacted at => k
Ron: There is a discussion of tuning the MFJ-1026 on my web site ( www.k0to.us ) One additional point -- I think Mr. R. Gorski may be incorrect in his statement. "...The preamp on the 1026 btw is NOT
Has anyone more information regarding the schematic and values for this filter? Is it commercially available or is it 'one of a kind' and made of unobtanium? Tod, K0TO _______________________________
Has anyone reading this reflector ever tried using a "synchronous noise blanker" to reduce local line noise? If so, what has been your experience with this method? By the term "synchronous noise blan
