In the ARRL 160 meter Contest this year I used an antenna that I have experimented with off and on during 2008. It has a vertical element 57 feet high insulated from ground. The feed point is at the

I am planning to recalibrate and, if needed, repair my MFJ-259B. It may be that it has one or more bad bridge diodes. 1. Has anyone on this list recalibrated a unit of this type and, if so, would you

Walt: One of the best ways to find the noise nulls is to reduce the signal values, both antenna and sense [aux] inputs, to very low values. Then look for the nulls. I wrote something about how to do
