Hello Bruce, This is a very interesting subject. I am about to "maybe" test a BOG here at my French QTH and I am wondering if there are any tests made with best terminating resistance (235ohm? ) shou

I want to thank you all for the comments, I gathered all the info and will now do some testing. If this works I might even be able to put some at my contest station in Portugal CR6K. Once again thank
Hi guys, I am about to add a common mode choke to isolate the antenna from its feedline to each of my beverages and I only have FT240-61 ferrites. My question is how many turns should I do on the fer
Hello JC, Thanks for your answer. I just ordered a few 2631803802 and 5943003801 from mouser. With these ferrites I ask the same question, should I put the choke close to the 9:1 Balun or near the sw

what about 7 ground rods 20cm apart, will it do ? 73's Filipe Lopes CT1ILT - CR6K F4VPX - TM3M _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
Hi Don, Thanks for your reply. My bev system has 3 bevs starting from the same point, 330º , 0º and 45º. I understand what you mean but unfortunately I think the relays are not a good solution for me
I am using 2xTS590 and never had any issues either. 73s Filipe CT1ILT CR6K _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
Hi guys any other suggestion? Maybe this is the reason why my EU direction bevs never worked fine... the ground rods are about 40cm from each other. What about using 1 radial in each direction attach
Hello Frank Thank you for your email, just one more question. Do you put the relay directly at each antenna wire or do you just connect the ground to a common point and you select and deselect the an
Hi guys, Has anyone tried spacing 2 verticals on 80m 1/8 wavelength, instead of 1/4 wavelength? I am starting some new project and I will use the 2x157º and 1x39º phasing lines but my question is reg
Hi guys I am thinking about doing a couple of reversible bevs and I was thinking of using this kind of cable http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/cable-telephonique/0407010/ I have tons of it. Has anyone do
Hi guys We are rebuilding our station and I was thinking about putting up 2 dipoles 1/8 wavelength apart. Has anyone ever tried to phase them for example with Christman method? Thanks Filipe Lopes CT
Hi Guy Thanks for your detailed reply. I am building a two-phase vertical for 80 meters, 1/4wave separated. Untill now I usee 1 single vertical with around 50 or 60 radials and I have noticed that to
