Right on Mr.Catfish... Been dere, donedat. Youse is keerect! Ham radio has survived three wives at this QTH. Best, jerome -- va7vv -- People's Republic of Canada _____________________________________
I've had astrons (three of them) since 1988 and they are still working and they are turned off and on with each shack visit. No AC line switch has ever failed. Now you've heard something else. Best,
For me, the most useful part of the mfj noise canceling device was being able to use separate receiving and transmitting antennas and being able to continuously vary the gain on the rx side. Of cours
Of course the last line should read: "... very high grinding city noise level, livable if not lovable." j _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com htt
Bob... I have the '64 handbook; pp.140-141 (A Transistorized Q Multiplier). If there is interest I will make the article available. Best, jerome - va7vv ______________________________________________
hmmm... I thought it was 1x10^-26 watts per meter squared per hz = 1 Jy, but I'm quite old and stupid now, so you're probably right. Best for y2k+6 va7vv _____________________________________________
You are correct... back to my dotage, sorry. jerome _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec
Set it on 40m and tune 'er up. If it doesn't tune properly, put a tapped inductor across the balanced input and find the right tap. I've had no trouble with my matchbox on 30m using a number of diffe
Why would you not connect also the shields together on the outside? jerome - va7vv _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.co
Dave... I always found HRD quirky and bloated with features I don't use while missing those I do use. The N4PY software adds lots of features that are not available from the front panel, and is full
And... the new filters now work with the latest N4PY software. Slick! jerome - VA7VV _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.
Hi Tim, et al difference between being able to copy weaker sigs in a noisy city environment and not. If the S meter can be believed, going from 300 hz to 100 hz reduces the noise reading by almost an
I have two antennas fed with ladder line: an 80m cf zepp and a vert. dipole (30 ft each side). Both tune fine on 30m with the matchbox set on the 40m position. If that doesn't work, try the 20m posit
Another trick with the matchbox is to get a piece of Air Dux, make taps every other turn and put it across the balanced line input along with the feedline. Now adjust the number of turns and retune t
Stan... I would like to purchase the 302j remote encoder/keypad for the Jupiter. I presume the cable is included? I can get a money order in USD in the mail as soon as you tell me it's still availabl
"Induction on one piece of data", as the philosopher said to the art mistress... I'll bet you haven't won the lottery either, but some folks have. With respect, VA7VV ________________________________
Hmmm. But what if the DX station in the pile-up doesn't have an Orion? Then I presume he'll come back to the strongest signal calling? What has been gained? Better to invest in more field strength? I
Walt, very interesting... I went through SESS in 1956, MOS was (as near as I can remember) 053 -- High Speed Radio Opr. It was called Camp Gordon then. I can't make out if you were before me or behin
