We probably have a similar problem here on USA west coast, just at the opposite times. I was using the Orion radio with a band scope and could see just about all of the activity compressed into 15 kH

Hmm - I live about 3 miles from the KEX tower - didn't know KPOJ used the same one. The carrier on 1810 is about as strong as IV3PRK is - so I don't think this is it. Tree N6TR PS: Worked my first ne

One of the secret weapons to my better than I should have signal on 160 is my ground. After it rains, part of my radial field is basically a swamp. However, I have also been very happy with the perf

Thanks to all who "voted" - either on the list, or direct to me. We haven't kept a close count, but I think it is fair to say that the answers generally fall into these several categories: 1. Don't t

I have two things I can offer. I have brought out the signal that gets asserted when a noise pulse is detected on a TS850. It essentially acts like a wired-OR circuit. I tuned one radio up out of the

So far, the new country bell had mostly been gathering rust here in Boring, Oregon. However, we did get to finally ring it with a QSO with HB0/DL2OBO a couple of weeks ago. Last night, VP8/LZ1UQ was

With the Dragon posing a threat to make JA QSOs difficult - I think we should think about alternative methods for working JAs during the CQ 160 contest. K4ZW found (and JA5DQH documented why) that fr

These towers are really too tall to do any kind of shunt feeding. If you did manage to load them, all of your energy will likely be going straight up. Half wave sloping dipoles - off in several key d

I think this is probably getting close to too tall. A tower this tall is begging for a 4 square of 1/4 wave verticals to be hung from it. I have never heard of a grounded tower being loaded as a vert
