I saw someone post a "my 5/8 wavelength vertical really outperformed my 1/4 wavelength vertical" a day or two ago. I kinda wondered about that (I've "heard" a 5/8 wavelength is mo betta) so I did a l
My loop, Charlie, is doing well - it's not a Kaz thingy -- it's a take off on the FO0AAA delta loop. Seeing 2 to 3 S units of difference when switching from east to west and listening to a signal of
Mike: I apologize if my query came across as an insult!! Mea culpa sent from out here in the black hole of 160 meter communications - s/w Utah. I think I said I wasn't doubting your claim and I wasn'
Great job, Charlie AND on the opening weekend of the NFL season, none the less! You are Da Man, ma Mon - you are carrying the water for this "event" and I appreciate your efforts! Jim R. K9JWV ______

JUST received my PT0S QSL (St. Peter and St. Paul rocks) for QRP QSOs on 80 and 40 CW! There is a story behind the 80 meter QSO I want to share... The morning I worked them on 80 I had just had a qui
As Bernie says, "Mistakes happen." Just to re-iterate -- they DID copy my call correctly!! I heard them come back to me with K9JWV 599! THAT's why I put in the log. I wouldn't have logged the QSO if
Sheesh, Carl!! I doubt if the ARRL desk is gonna, or even should, weigh in on something they'd have no control over OR would have even an inkling of what went on to cause them to question it! First o
