In preparing for the Sprint, I wanted to solve a nagging problem with
interference to my VCR. We're in a covenant-restricted neighborhood, so I
ran balanced feedlines into my attic as the house was being constructed, and
have been sucessfully using an 80M dipole that's on a short pole just above
the roofline.
During the construction of the house, I took great care to distance the
feedline from any power, phone or CATV cables. Despite this and numerous
efforts to eliminate the problem at the VCR, I continued to have annoying
interference. I felt that replacing the open feeders with a good quality
coax would solve the problem. I would run that along with a shielded control
cable to my homebrew bandswitching tuner, which I planned to place in the
attic close to the antenna.
I was highly disappointed when this fix failed to solve the problem! I
suspected that I was getting current flow on the outside shield of the coax,
so I placed about ten ferrite sleeves on the distant end of the coax. This
improved the situation slightly, but the interference persisted. I
disconnected the tuner from the coax and control cable, and tried using
another manual tuner that didn't require the control cable. Problem
solved!!!
While I had taken great care to extensively bypass the inner conductors of my
control cable, the shield was acting as return RF path. Once the control
cable was disconnected, I also noticed that the bandwidth of the antenna
dramatically increased, also indicating that the control cable had been
radiating.
For those of you who work with high power and multiple antenna systems and
multiple control cables, this may just be a blinding flash of the obvious.
I, however, learned a lot from this experience and intend to provide the
same level of attention to my control cables as I do to my main feedline.
That means RF choking at the near and distant ends, and, of course, the
normal bypassing efforts.
Maybe this experience may help you solve a nagging interference problem.

I am in the planning stages for a Carribean trip that will take place
after the first of the year. It looks like one possiblilty would be
Jamaica around the end of Feburary. This, of course, would be around the
time frame for the 160 cw CONTEST (there got that in). I was wondering if
any of you guys that frequent the Carribean islands has any ideas for a
hotel that might let me put up a 80/160 vertical and play in the test.
The second choice would be the Caymans. Any and all info will be
appreciated. Please reply to my e-mail address and not to the reflectors
as I am posting this to both cq-contest and VE7TCP's dx reflector. If
needed I can give a summary to any one who is interested.

Good observation, Paul. RFI can come from everywhere, as I found out with
my phone -- the phone line was picking up RF and feeding it into my computer
and then into the keyboard, causing it to send garbage characters. Ferrite
beads and a phone filter fixed the problem. Usually we cause interference
TO phones, not get interference FROM them... :-)

Subject: CQP Antenna Question(s)
Message-ID: <199509041847.LAA27544@nova.unix.portal.com>
Bud, K7CW/6 puts up a corner fed loop in the field for the October CQP
CONTEST and asked about other antenna options. For the loop, the choice may
depend on where you can suspend the feedline.
I live in a townhouse with CC&Rs which disallow any external antenna, and
must keep the CONTEST antennas low profile (thats why I LOVE Field Day). I
have successfully used a delta loop on 40 for over a year now by suspending
the peak in a 70' high eucalyptus and hiding the coaxial balun and feedline.
I use "invisible" #26 stranded copperweld from the Wireman, and feed it just
above the corner, which is conveniently located in a smaller tree so that
the quarter wave of RG-59 / balun and RG-8X feed are concealed in its
foliage and branches. The ground is mainly clay and lossy. The terrain is
flat expressway and parking lots to the west and 2 story wood frame
townhouses and apartments to the east.
When choosing the feed point, I compared the bottom center to the '1/3 above
the corner' feed over several CONTESTs. As Larry Novak has pointed out, the
comparable dipole would be at the loop's effective height. For my
configuation, this works out to only 24'!
HORIZONTAL POLARIZATION FEED: (< or V indicates the feedpoint)
40m LOOP eq. DIPOLE
50'
/\
/ \
/ \
/ \ --------V-------- effective ht.=10'+~14'=24'
/ \
----V----- 10'
VERTICAL POLARIZATION FEED:
40m LOOP eq. DIPOLE
50'
/\ |
/ \ |
/ \ |
< \ < effective ht.=10'+~14'=24'
/ \ |
---------- 10' |
|
The vertical feed was much more effective, and my CONTEST scores clearly
show it! Unscientifically, I was better able hold a frequency and ran the
JAs at 3x my former rate in WPX with the vertical feed. I ascribe this to a
lower radiation angle. Obviously, a dipole at 50' would be a better
compromise antenna and probably equally effective for most DX, but the
exposed feedline would be unacceptable in my situation.
If there are any antenna modeling gurus out there who care to take a crack
at this issue, I would be very grateful for any further enlightenment.

Dear Jerry:
I have a stack of three (3) TH6DXX (triband) yagis.
The High one is fully rotatable. The Middle one is side-
mounted (300 degrees of rotation available), and the Low one
is fixed on Eu (at heights of approximately 9.4, 18.6, and
29.6 meters). After asking around among friends, I
purchased the DuneStar switching system (a WX0B design).
WX0B is present on this reflector.
I use equal lengths of coax jumpers from the switching
box. As the relay box is located in the middle, I coil up
the cable to the middle yagi.
During the research phase of this project, I asked K1GQ
(editor of the W2PV antenna book) whether or not I should
try to create a system which would permit in phase and out
of phase switching. He said that with a two antenna stack,
he had tried it, using a BIP/BOP (Both In Phase/Both Out of
Phase) switch. He eventually abandoned the idea, as he
built the system for contesting, and he was wasting too much
time switching to find the best combination.
At present, I have an eight (8) position switch: All
3, Low, Medium, High, H+L, M+L, H+M and All 3. To maximize
scores, this station uses All 3 about 60 percent of the
time, H+M (split for different directions, such as H @ Asia
and M on Eu, or H @ Asia and M on South Am -- when 20 is
closed to Eu) about 20 percent of the time, and H only (for
pileups to Asia) about 10 percent of the time. If I
switched any more, I'd spend too much time switching and
rotating, and not enough time making QSO's.
In any event, use low loss hardline to the relay box,
and then you can afford to waste a little loss by using
flexible coaxial cable for phasing lines.
Good luck.

since this is an international reflector and an international hobby, ham

I for one am very thankful for the fine Japanese equipment that has filed
a gap in U.S. ham radio equipment manufacturing and inspired companies
like Ten-Tec to try to compete. Typo correction: "...has filled a gap..."

Subject: Stacking 15 & 40 on one tower
Message-ID: <304CB5E6@msgate.res.utc.com>
I had an arrangment on my single-tower station with a 40-2CD at 85 ft
and a 6el 15m KLM at 90 ft. The 40 at 85 ft was rotatable on a sidemount,
while the 15 was on a conventional rotator (with a 4el Cushcraft 10 at 95 ft
and a Hy-Gain 204BA at 100 ft on the same mast). The interaction between
the 15m and 40m beams was very pronounced. When pointed in the same
direction, the F/B on the 15m beam went to hell; when perpendicular, the 40m
beam's SWR curve went to hell. I have no way of knowing what the effect was
on gain. When on 15, I'd offset the 40m beam by 45-90 deg; when on 40, I'd
turn the 15m beam in line. With two radios going on two bands, the antennas
inevitably got out of sync, but it didn't seem to matter much unless I'd
start a serious run on a band or had trouble breaking a pile-up. That was
my solution to a one-tower, two-radio single-op setup.
To finish the line-up, the 10m Cushcraft was fixed 90 deg away from the
15 and 20 on the same rotatable mast, which was the only way I could get a
match on it. Least affected (to my knowledge anyway) was the 204BA at 100
ft. A rotatable tribander at 50 ft on a sidemount completed the setup, with
wires off the tower for 80 and 160. The reasoning behind this antenna
arrangement was to put the 20m on top for maximum effectiveness, and to be
able to independently rotate the 15 and 40 to minimize interaction between
them.

PS All but the 20 got bent up in a storm two years ago -- anyone have good
suggestions
for another single-tower two-radio arrangement? I have 130 ft of Rohn 45
stacked horizon-
tally in the woods, I suppose I should put that up... Any chain saw

Di conseguenza e' necessario aggiornare il proprio file CTY.DAT per gli
utenti del CT 9 nel seguente modo :
Italy: 15: 28: EU: 41.90: -12.50: -1.0: I:
I;
Italy (Africa): 33: 37: AF: 35.40: -12.50: -1.0: *IG9:
IG9,IH9;
Sicily: 15: 28: EU: 37.50: -14.00: -1.0: *IT9:
IB9,ID9,IE9,IF9,II9,IJ9,IO9,IQ9,IR9,IT9,IU9,IZ9;
Viene riportata anche la configurazione della Sicilia in quanto e'
necessario togliere i prefissi IG9 ed IH9 da questo Country. Non
dimenticarsi di evidenziare il Country con l'asterisco *,che ne identifica
lo stato di MOLTIPLICATORE solo nei CONTEST CQWW.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Per gli utenti di CT 8 la modifica da effettuare nel file CQWW.CTY e' la
seguente :
Italy: 15: I: I;
Italy (Africa): 33: IG9: IG9,IH9;
Sicily: 15: IT9: IB9,ID9,IE9,IF9,II9,IJ9,IO9,IQ9,IR9,IT9
& IU9,IZ9;
