Unfortunately, George doesn't seem to make a 1000 Hz wide filter for the 8.83 MHz IF in TS930/940/950 series rig. The 950 has filter bank selection switches for the 8.83 MHz and 455 KHz IFs on the fr

You hit the nail on the head, Jon. Towers weren't ugly when everyone needed them to get TV reception. Now that this is no longer necessary, they are considered eyesores by the urban lemmings who have

The really annoying thing I found this weekend were the stations who were only identifying every 5 or 10 minutes because they had a steady diet of packet assisted stations feeding their pileups who k

I would expect that the lower loss cable would be better, Dink. What does George's data show? I don't have his book. N6VI made some stubs for W6UE's SO2R setup from LMR-400. They work very well, but

Stubs actually alternately create an open circuit (at the operating frequency) and a short circuit (at the harmonic) via reflection. They don't actually absorb the harmonic. In the absurd limit as th

Well said, Mike. Go read some of the general ham radio forums sometime. Contesting doesn't always have such a stellar reputation among the general ham population. Anything we can do to improve relati

Sixty miles doesn't produce any tangible geographical advantage on 160 meters, so I don't see it as a problem. If on the other hand, somebody had a remote receiver 1000 miles from his home QTH, then

The unusual thing about radio contesting is that you can participate in a radio contest without actually entering it. I am trying to think of a good sports analogy, but I can't think of any, Yuri. Pe
