Just set the antenna up this week. Can see it at www.qrz.com under home call n0ah. Questions for those who have one. 1. SWR started at 1:1 without radial of course and now with it tied into Cushcraft
I got a total of 30 private emails and a few that showed up on the reflector- wow! Thanks to everyone Here is the results of the finished project: I installed 24 buried radials, 20-70 feet long in a
Thx for all the referrals guys to the HZ3- we must have had 16 private emails suggesting them- ....unfortunately, they have had a major price increase sinced we first contacted them just last week an
Can anyone direct to us a shop that carries these items for building a K0FF low band 160M loop we found onm e-ham?? 160M Version All you need is 20(160) or 10 (80) of the 3/4 aluminum CATV cable, an
We sure appreciate all of the suggestions that keep coming in- we just got this one WB6RSE- Definately in our budget- although the system DX'Engineering had, after examining all of its features, real

Quick word on our K9AY 2 direction single loop- we had a ICE 196 voltage limiter so as not to blow out the rx jack on the Pro III but the ICE 196 messed with the voltage as it goes out through the co

Dan sent me this email after I had just ordered the ICE 196. Ill be going this route- thx everyone for you responses- I dont think 100 watts will blow out the Pro III rx from what I have heard, but a

Finally, with just 100 watts and the MA160 vertical doing all the listening and transmitting, worked ZL8X from Colorado on CW running 100W and the Pro III- also worked them on 80M just before going t

I spoke to Icom this morning about the rx jack on the Pro III. It was never changed from the original Icom 756 or Icom Pro- in other words, they strongly recommended protecting it with a front end un

Finally, with some empirical data, I guess you can consider this the concluding post on our MA160 vertical set up. After building the Cushcraft MA160V, I did a few more things to get ready for the co

On an Amidon W2FMI UnUn Transformer, what would be the closest description of the impedance mismatch of 50 ohm coax to the feedpoint of a vertical obtaining the lowest SWR using B-F ports? I recently

In my 16 years as an amateur radio operator, this is one of the only lawsuits Ive seen that might effect a significant product geared towards top band http://www.rfcexpress.com/lawsuit.asp?ID=68409 7

The ICE 196 is a very cool design.....but if you are sending out voltage on your coax to control an antenna switch, relay, etc.......it may adversely effect the controlled devices ability to operate
I am a small pistol on 160M. I have found it interesting to hear a few of the big gun contest stations calling in the 1.830-35 DX range for a few years now. Mostly either at EU sunrise of their's. My

On my Cushcraft MA160V, the resonant SWR point has lowered from almost 5:1 to 1:1 without the Amidon unUn in line. All 26 of the buried radials are attached. The main difference is that the normally
Guy, FB response to pick up on- We'll be in Costa Rica with the Youth DX Association from July 21-25th, so please look for us all- and I'll enjoy reading any follow up on this as time goes on Today,

I have not had a couple of emails returned yet from the company regarding a repair I need to send in- does anyone know the status of the company and how they are doing? 73 Paul N0AH _________________
