Dear Ten-Tec group, I have just upgraded my ham PC and at the same time changed my email address. The "From" now shows my U.S. call sign, "NJ0IP" instead of "Rick Westerman". I know we stopped doing
Bill, you should have told us that before I sold my VI+ !!! 73 Rick and more. Hold on to those Ommi VI+ radios. Possibly by Dayton, there will likely be an after-market add-on which will significantl
Ronnie, Most of us send CW much faster than we can copy it. Although it's a great help to run QSO's, it's also very important to spend a lot of time just copying (and trying to copy) CW which is bein
Tony, (and others interested) I need to clarify my statement: I can send CW faster than I can receive and write it down on paper. For many years I copied high speed QSOs in my head and as Bill pointe
Tony, Ignore the first bit of my last email. I should have read my entire inbox before responding. Your ideas pretty much coincide with mine. There's one more point. Its the dit-memory and dah-memory
Ben, They are using special-purpose contest keyers which are programmed to send the 599 at a high speed and then slow down for the part of the message which the operator on the other end must copy. T
Pete's warning is valid. I've charcoled wood with my 450 ohm, though I was running 100w. Lesson learned. Always use plexiglass of plastic (or your HV feedthrough idea). If you still want to use wood

Tony, again I fully agree with you. I understand the merrits of twisting when passing near some metal object - both sides are equally effected, but I've always twisted mine because it seems (subjecti
The balun Bob has describes is super but huge. It is described in detail ub Bill Orr's (W6SAI) BEAM ANTENNA HANDBOOK in the chapter on Matching Devices. I have always used the rule of thumb to use ba
My shack is two floors above our telephone computer (don't know the English name for that little black box). I originally ran a cable upstairs with 4 wires inside (not twisted) but it was shielded. I
Sorry Stuart, that's not the answer to my question. I asked about "Link Coupling", not about symmetrical (or balanced). Especially the MFJ is NOT a true balanced tuner... at least not in my books. I
Thanks Suart. I suppose the double PI NET would be a good solution too. What I'm not interested in is a double "T" and certainly no single "T" because they do no harmonic filtering, in fact no filter
OK Bob, I agree that your suggested dual-inductor box will match the ballanced line, but what about the "filter" part? The Link-coupled (like the Johnson and the Annecke) and the Z-match are true ban

Jim (and anyone else still following this thread), you're correct in that these simple tuners work as well as anything else on the market at any price, however you neglect one important point (at lea
Maybe it's not quite so simple, guys. To be honest, I'm confused. My first take would have been to tie the mic's "-" to the case ground. Some of you have suggested that. I'm suggesting that this is w
Harry, check your power cable connector on the back. Maybe the pins are a bit worn and not making a solid mechanical connection. Hello getting the 80 meter problem now fixed a few days ago. Bad diode
Tnx Tim, Nice ad (on their home page) but not much meat. Will be interesting in seeing what it actually is. I haven't received my Radcom yet. Maybe it will come tomorrow. 73 Rick Hi all, I remember t
Michael, the Argosy uses a different type of mic than the newer rigs. It requires a high impedance mic. I use a Shure 404c with my Argosy, but it's just a hand mic. 73 Rick Need to ask a couple of qu
