'Zactly. The value of 10-15 dB of attenuation can work wonders. Kim N5OP On 7/4/2017 5:48 AM, Ed Sawyer wrote: I have done quite a bit of "in band" low power 2 radio work. At 100 W, 2 A4 tribanders, tip to tip, 225ft separation should have still audible sounds on the cross band portion CW vs SSB - maybe 2 - 3 S units. However 10 - 15dB of attenuation on the receivers should kill it if it becomes bothersome. If you are not seeing that, consider grounding the systems together and trying other radios (making sure the SSB radio is not over driving).I have cross polarized 10, 15, 20M systems that are separated by 200 - 400 feet and they are virtually silent on the noise floor 25khz away - same mode band - using 100W. Using amps, you can hear them but the 15dB of pad kills it.On 40 - 160, try running a long - directional beverage, separated and to the side of the antenna if you have the room. At 100W, and with the improved S/N ratio, you should do really well. Potentially both stations could use the same beverage for receive.Ed N1UR _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk --Kim Elmore, Ph.D. (Adj.
