I had the same problem. Putting 0.01 disk ceramic caps to ground are your best defense. I put them at the tower box (base of tower with a 1/2" copper bar bonded to my ground system) and also at the r
I think I whined about the East Coast advantage a couple of years back. I am wiser now. I try to do my best and be glad I did. I used to think that being in sparsely populated Eastern Washington was

I like it! Can't say I liked what I saw but it will be used as a tool. I think the UBN process is a sound one and hope that these results will continue to be made available to the entrants. As has be
I apologize for the breach of etiquete regarding my post containing a listing of stations that were non-logged zero point QSO's in CQWW CW. Here in rural Ephrata, Washington the local newspaper lists
My 2 seconds of input: The most simple, most fair and best scoring scheme is undoubtably the method used in The Stew Perry Top Band Distance Challenge. Everything counts and DX is really DX....a stat
Huh?! 124V is within the range of normal but 5% over that is way high. ANSI C84.1: Utilization Voltage at Customers Equipment Range A Nominal Min Max 120/240 114/228 126/252 Range B Nominal Min Max 1
