LEETLE light bulbs. Flashlight or panel lamps. Then use the two wires with alligator clips on each lamp to TAP on the feed line, using a length of feedline as a current shunt to give the gossamer lam

Who here has a matched PAIR of RF voltmeters good for transmit power? Not many compared to the number that could come up with small lamps. As far as I recall, the inductively coupled indicators don't

Even spark wanted more antenna current by what ever means possible, hence the high capacity flat top antenna to raise the feed line current, whether it improved DX or not. 73, Jerry, K0CQ -- Entire c

The diode capacitor and DC VOM simple RF voltmeter has fairly low impedance that can lead to forced unbalance that if the balancing circuit hasn't even impedance on both sides, the RF meter won't giv

HF propagation is enough of a variable that getting to 1 Ppm precision can take averaging measurements from WWV over several days. Part of the few Hz you see can easily be coming from propagation cha

TC stands for Temperature Compensated, NOT Temperature Controlled. So the oscillator controls should be responding to its environment. But HF propagation causes short term variations in frequency of

I read a compendium on frequency measurement, probably put out by the IRE or IEEE, likely 25 years ago. I think its still in a certain pile but I don't want to disturb that pile at the moment. Its no

Ground wave at HF is as good for frequency stability as world wide propagation on 20 and 60 KHz. In fact the transmitter frequencies of WWV on HF are monitored at Boulder some miles from Ft. Collins.

There is a certain level on noise from the A/D even with no signal and a certain level of noise from the output D/A. Each is better the more bits. Sometimes tagged "quantization noise." 73, JErry, K0

Quantization noise come from making analog signals into discrete digital steps. I don't think its a problem of noise from hot circuits that could be helped by cooling. Besides cooling works best when

Digi-Key makes custom battery assemblies that you can install in the Ten-Tec case. Likely they originally were 450 mah AA nicads in a group of 6 or 8, mostly like two layers of 3 or 4 all series conn

Its really NO mystery why a narrow "roofing" filter didn't help. It just means that the IMD isn't limited by the first IF and second mixer whether close in or with wide spread signals. It means that

One other reason for roofing filter bandwidth is the noise blanker. Narrower and/or steeper skirted broadens out the noise impulses making them harder to detect and strip out. 73, Jerry, K0CQ -- Enti

23 dBm means 23 dBm LO power. 200 milliwatts. at least the 17 dBm mixer only needs 50 milliwatts. That would be the biggest problem with using the higher power mixer. The next problem probably is tha

It very well could be that the mixer is already running at more than nameplate local oscillator power. Hence the heating. I won't be jacking up the power to that mixer because I don't like some detai
