The theory was that the noise (static) received by both radios would cancel in the primary, leaving a clear (or nearly so), static-free signal in his headphones. Interesting.... 73, Charlie Audio nul
Wonder if some of those noises others have been describing from time to time are caused by either MV or sodium lights starting to go bad. Bill, VE3CSK Here in my NOISY suburban QTH MOST of the local
For that simple reason i am strongly supporting the idea of optimizing all of the station factors that can be optimized. Because it is those precious long-haul contacts that come as a reward for digg
The point is that there are many ways to bring such problems to one's attention. 73, Bob/AA6VB I agree courtesy and respect are always important in personal interactions however we shouldn't hide fro
It is frozen (solid) here in beauteous Ohio so I checked the bands at 1100 PM local before turning in and found 160 to be good shape. I wrked a total of 34 stations (list of prefixes below) over the
Hi, if You are interested in poles then trz to visit http://topband.blog.cz where I tried to summary the poles offered on market. Maybe it will help... 73 Petr OK1RP W2PM replies: Also see _http://ww
Well the overwhelming answer is to go against John's advice and run it through the woods. John D may have changed his thinking as some who have a later version did not find that statement ( 2nd Editi
A strange thing happened to me this morning. After calling "CQ DX" on 1820 khz so many Japanese stations came back to my call, it was difficult to get a clear call sign out of the many calling. Final
To W2PM, I guess Louis gave a good feel for the answer to that question. For my part, being niether a "Big Gun" nor a "Gung Ho" DX chaser, it would seem that there are lots of 160 operators in JA who
As someone mentioned before, the 27 days rotation seems to work. I worked 21 JA stations on january 13 and haven´t heard any other JA untill I worked again 20 JA stations on february 11, that m
I put down a bunch of radials before planting grass at the new house two years ago. Good news: They're now invisible. Bad news: They're now invisible. I need to put in a lot of trees this Spring, and
Also got one of those cards via bureau from VU land. Wonder how many US stations the VU SWL has heard?? Mine was also for a VQ9LA contact, last January, I think. I received one a couple of years ago
The following activities about Pennants resulted in me noticing a shielding effect from nearby objects to the antenna which is significant, and also raises a question over high angle/low angle recept
Has anyone been able to use these antennas get good nulls for relatively short skip distances (150-1000 miles) on 160? What about 80/75? I have had some good results with directional receiving antenn
I was on 160 this morning March 22 before SR and the band was completely dead. Called CQ a few times but nada. Stayed around for about 15 min after SR ...not a signal heard from anywhere....I'll chec
First one key to getting attention from the PRC is the NA trade agreement issue. Letters to Susan Schwab U.S. Trade Representative (www.ustr.gov) should begin to flow like the waters of the Yangtze R
W8JI: I feel verification is important no matter what the issue is (technical, operating/contest achievements, etc). If I truly didn't care about verification, I would simply post my contest score an
1 - Why the loops are receiving more noise than distant signals? Could it be a matter of polarization?2 - could it be possible I need to use horizontal polarization with the loop? could it be done si
F5IN and G4AMT both had big signals (peaking 589) into the Midwest (Iowa) last night around 0330z. Unfortunately, they were the only EU signals heard on the band. This morning (about 0945z) a short C
Hello all, Because I don't have a "beverage farm", I'm wondering if someone of you try to find the direction and place from where the QRN is coming at a certain time?! I'm asking this because the QRN
