Why the F wont it go on ? I have probably installed over 150 F connectors to RG-6 in the field for my Beverages and other RX antennas. Im sure many on this list have done the same, but tonight I uplo

One thing I did not mention in my video is that not all RG-6 is not the same. (obviously) Beside quad shield vs single shield, and flooded vs not, the jacket design can really effect things. I have u

Here is an update on my new 9 circle combiner board, and some comments about performance, and the array in general. First, I have already made a revision to the PCB. The latest is Ver. 3.2. However,

Hello Ash, The small vertical (HI-z) arrays like the 8 circle and 9 circle depend on VERY accurate phase and amplitude between elements. Even small variation in amplitude, or phase can destroy the pa

Steve, Using open frame relays can often lead to problems, especially in an outdoor environment in a low signal RX path. I have well over 40 relays at my remote switching various RX antennas in the f

Well, today a miracle happened. I worked 8Q7WM on 160m CW for a new DXCC and Z-22. His signal peaked at about 1415 z or so. My SR at 1430z. First of all, I owe thanks to Bob W7RH for spotting 8Q7WM t
