The SWR increase is a good thing as it shows deminishing ground losses exposing the true mismatch of the 50 ohm coax to the impedance of the vertical. So with a limited radial field, the mesh seemed

I have used the Cushcraft MA-160V extensively over the years and it works amazing well. It only stands at 36 feet tall for the CW DX window. It is top loaded. It is very light. I don't understand why
I have no doubt they will be successful on the lowbands with what should hopefully be an ambient free RF zone- Despite the short windows, and my guess 30M will be their best band, if you want to call
No one knows anymore....the hobby will never be the same. We had a guy in Colorado work the last P5 operation in zero band conditions...zero. but he us an expert at remote operating. That's when I st

I think the problem is due to limited high Q antennas on top band, every one is more concerned about 30Khz of usable DX bandwidth. I find a lot of topband and is fully underutilized, much like 80M. S
No propagation? Just remote in where the signal you need is on ground wave! We don't need no stinking real men antennas....and apparently no one is at the switch of the ARRL DXCC desk to care. They a
