LEE -- AS A LONG TIME RECEIVE LOOP USER... (I have used others besides the Wellbrook and DX-E antennas I mentioned previously, but I don't recommend the others at all) I want to be very clear about o
RICK -- YOU GOT IT! ;-) A LOOP THAT BIG IS ... WELL... A WORK OF ART... AND THAT MIGHT GET HIM AROUND THE HOA RESTRICTIONS!! IT IS A SCULPTURE... er... yeah... ART... A BEAUTIFUL THING... A BIG HUGE
That is nice, but how is that relevant to a guy who can only be 10 feet above rooftop? I think that is Jim's limitation. -- K8JHR -- ___________________________________________________

That sounds a lot bigger then the Wellbrook Loops I am familiar with... I think they are more in the order of 1 m / 3ft across. Lots of SWLs put them in the attic. -- JHR -- Yes, Rick. my bad. I noti
Wellbrook makes them in different sizes - some are 1 meter circles, and then there is mine that uses whatever size wire loop you make. I put it in an attic and it worked fine with insulated wire. Wor
Maybe... I have found that not all switches are created equal. The less expensive ones lack sufficient isolation. You want one with at least 60 and maybe 70 dB isolation - better, if possible, but I
Golly - I had presumed you had performed a Master Reset at the outset. I concede I am a still rookie at much of this technical jazz, but with these computer processor based radios, the FIRST thing to
OT Q --> What SWR/power meeter with amp interrupt/alarm would you consider for your shack? Seems like one with a separate sensor would work better, and make it easier to route the RF outside to the a
It is manifest this little peccadillo is sufficiently annoying to induce you to fix it. And why not? I think you should fix it and enjoy the heck out of it when it returns in a week or so. The cost o
Hi Kim -- you describe a lot of folks from that era. I feel the same as you. I paid for my home with cash. So MINE, all mine. I have no compunction about making it work for my hobby. Worse case scena
Yikes! ... don't say that! -- Have you ever seen the size of hole a 50' tower makes when it falls on a roof? Susan would KILL you! ;-) ____________________________________________ .
Here is my solution - using very quiet computer fans. See the link at the bottom of the page: "Cooling Fan Project" http://k8jhr.com/project_links.html I sometimes use a small resistor to slow them d
Horizontal vs vertical fins... Hmmm.... that makes sense considering heat rises. Another great observation based on facts hiding in plain view. Of course he WOULD mention it AFTER you had completed y
I made a fan built into my shelf system to help the amp vent hot air. I used an Off-On-Off switch with a single resistor to accomplish that feat. This gives me high and low speed with just a flick of
