After 10+ years of having various sections of 50 OHM Coax on the tower,
I figure it was time to check to see if any of this should be replaced.
Any suggetions on a easy way to check 50 Ohm Coax?
Would a MFJ-259 HF analyzer & Resistance Meter be of any value in checking
coax without the antennas attached?
Thanks, Jack, KA8D

Jack,
Here's a copy of my previous posting on the subject. The MFJ analyzer
just doesn't read high enough values of swr to be useful (unless the
coax is _really_ bad).
There were some negative comments on this method. Some folks questioned
the accuracy, especially for _very_ low loss coax, with the antennas
still
connected. Some folks questioned the accuracy of the AEA and Autec
analyzers for high values of swr. It works for me, as verified by several
tests of brand new coax, using several different antennas. Measured
results agreed closely with the specification values for the new cable.
Of course, the procedure is even easier with the antennas disconnected.
In that case, you don't have to find a frequency where the swr peaks.
Any frequency will do, preferably toward the high end. 73.
Dave, K6LL
k6ll@juno.com
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's a quick method for checking
cable loss from inside the shack, with the antennas connected.
The basic concept was described somewhere in QST in the past few
years.
Plug your Autec or AEA analyzer into the feedline in the shack
and tune it to a frequency where it shows a peak SWR. At this
frequency, the antenna, whatever it is, will be a damn good
approximation (DGA) of an open or short circuit. The frequency
doesn't have to be in the ham bands. Start at 30 MHz and work
down. Plug the SWR into the following equation which is for
calculating loss in a shorted or open line:
SWR + 1
Loss in dB = 10 log ----------------------------------
SWR - 1
For example, suppose you find a peak in the SWR (7 to 1)
at 25 MHz.
8
loss = 10 log ------------------------
6
loss = 1.25 dB
All you have to do now is to figure out what the loss would be
in a brand new piece of coax of the same length at 25 MHz.
Just look it up in the coax charts, then decide if it's worth
while to replace the old cable with a new one.

The way it was written, it sounded to me like the proposed legislation would
overide PE stamps, zoning, CC&Rs, building permits, inspections, and all and
simply delete any requirement to meet any safety criteria. That's why I was
struggling to believe what I was reading.

Also, in another summer blockbuster, "Phenomonon", on of the main

QSL's pinned on the wall, junk everywhere, and him operating what appears
to be a TS-940. You could see a vertical on the roof. In the movie our
ham was a "good ol boy" and called cq for Dianna Ross (is she a ham?)-
but when they got down to business he went from ssb to cw with a straight
key. Our man was obvouisly not a contester- they gave him the call
WB6QLF- and judging from the way he handled the straight key I can see
why- hehe. This all added to my enjoyment of the fun movie and was
another nice PR promo for amateur radio, and cw. Maybe that same friend

Subject: Tower regulation/RF exposure
Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.3.93.960706181009.16165C-100000@iglou>
I think there's some confusion. From what I recall of the recent WSJ
article (too bad I didn't save it), there was some discussion abt how the
tower regulation provisions of the new Telecom Act have not been as
effective as the PCS/cellular industry had hoped. Recent court rulings
such as the infamous one in Medina, WA have somewhat disheartened the
industry. I'm sure they'd like to see more effective legislation, but I
don't know of any draft language that's out there yet.
Attached is the relevant section of the Telecom Act. Note that amateur
radio is clearly NOT included in the provisions. One of the key points is
that no local govt is allowed to regulate PCS/cellular towers on the basis
of RF exposure safety issues.
But here's the frightening part--the FCC is now required to promulgate new
rules for RF exposure standards within the next month or so. With such a
paucity of really good medical data, there's no telling what standards the
FCC might adopt. I'm surprised this hasn't gotten more press because I
think there's at least a moderate chance the FCC's new rules could have an
impact on CONTEST stations.
We'll just have to wait and see. Having spent much of the last couple
years on M Street, I've stopped trying to outguess the Federal Cash Cow.
See y'all at WRTC!

Hi folks,
Freely plundering the resource that is this reflector, I'd like to know your
views and experiences of fixed directional (tx/rx) antennas for 80m (for
CQWW). The system will be temporary, pointing at continental US. We have
plenty of space, but lack the hardware to go much above 70ft.
Do we go for a broadside vertical array? Or should we be looking at some
kind of wire beam / line of dipoles? Or something else entirely? At present
we use a simple delta loop, apex at 75ft. Both practical and theoretical
ruminations are welcome.

Steve:
I thought that was a gag call--QLF meaning, as most of us know, "Now send
with your LEFT foot." But, in fact, in belongs to an Advanced class
licensee in Ventura, CA.
So was that HIS station you saw? At least he has a decent CONTEST radio,
if not effective antennas.

Subject: Kenwood remote vfo
Anyone have a manual for the remote VFO-230? Our club station uses
a TS-830 with remove vfo-230 and after many years of use the rig and
vfo are suddenly not communicating. The vfo looks as if it's doing
its thing, but the "main" light stays on when the 'vfo' one comes on
and there's no effect on the 830's frequency. The connecting cable
checks out OK (i.e. corresponding pins are connected, no shorts).
We'd like to get this fixed by next weekend's IARU C-O-N-T-E-S-T, and
have the manual for the 830 but not the vfo. If you have stuff for
the vfo and would be willing to copy and mail at my expense, please
send me e-mail first. If you have brilliant suggestions for where
to look for the problem, ditto. I've looked inside both units for
obvious burns, loose wires, but that's about the extent of my expertise.
There sure is more stuff inside that remove vfo than I had imagined!
Thanks for any help, and best wishes to all WRTC participants next

Differences from IARU rules and scoring are.
* Both ITU Zone and DXCC country multipliers.
* Operation on 10, 15, 20, 40m only - 18 hours max.
2 operators max.
* Mixed-mode, with double points on CW.
* Equipment restricted to 100 watts and a tribander
for 10,15,20.
* No packet, no computer networking, no rig control
from logging software. (CW from logging software
is permitted).

Subject: How do I fix a Hy-Gain Balun?
Message-ID: <199607071330.NAA04907@pipe5.t1.usa.pipeline.com>
Last winter, my rotor came apart and my TH-7 started
"windmilling". This pulled coax out of the balun that
comes with the antenna. There is a SO-239 type
connecter in it and the threaded sleeve pulled away
from the bottom of the connector, leaving the center
insulator.
The balun enclosure is made of plastic, and seems to be
glued together. I am at a loss as how to repair
the SO-239 without destroying the plastic enclosure.
Has anyone had this problem with their CONTEST
station and found a good way to fix it? If you had
to destroy the plastic enclosure, what did you to
replace it?
Thanks!

Tom, I was able to pry the case apart at the glued seams with a minimum
of damage. However, I ended up replacing mine with a "current balun". I
burned out two of the BN-86 baluns that come with the TH7-DXX proving
that it will not withstand the legal limit of power. A current balun
only costs the price of eight feet of RG-213 coax. Simply coil up the
eight feet into six turns and tape it or secure with tie wraps. Put a
PL259 on one end to splice it to your existing feedline. Seperate the
braid and center conductor on the other end and connect to the straps that
the BN-86 formerly were bolted to. This setup has withstood my AL-1500
for over a year and appears to provide every bit as much isolation as
the BN-86 did. For more details, if needed, check the ARRL Antenna Book.

Has anyone had any practical experience with fractal antenna design? =
