Hi Niko, Concerning your real experience, how did you measure the elevation angles and pattern beam width? 73 Peter --Original Message-- From: Topband [mailto:topband-bounces@contesting.com] On Behal
FlexRadio equipment has balanced audio i/o 73 Peter And yes, unbalanced interfaces are a lousy way to do it, but I don't know of a single ham rig that has balanced interconnects for audio or accessor
Hi Eduardo, I will contact my friend Andre, DF9OX, to find out more about his tuning process. http://www.df9ox.com/e_afu80mtxant_spitfire.html 73 Peter Peter and Tom I reall
The discussion is about the placement of an additional loading coil and its influence while the radiator is already loaded by a capacitance hat. So who spreads misinformation? Here we go again, Tom s

I turn 1/2" Cellflex cable which is similar to FSJ4 for more then 30 years and never had a problem. On one tower I turn a bunch of 5 cables at once. And yes, never damage by critters since using that
Rotator is home brew with a slew drive of 76cm diameter and turns from north +/- 270°, tower is free standing and face width is 50cm at the top section. The 5 Cellflex cables are tied together with t
3db less power certainly make a difference 73 Peter Everyone please tell me why I have to practically scream into the mic to get through a pileup with a K3? The FT1000D was no problem, maybe 3-5 call
Wow, nice S-meter... Oh, here comes the "guru" again. :-) Unnecessary debate? We are talking about experiences and RESULTS of comparing normal in land "ground" effect vs. salt water beach or marshes.
For Skimmer comparisons signals have to be on the air at the same time and the transmitting stations not to far apart from each other. In that case there is no statistical noise. But I would not expe
Sure it is. Most skimmers are setup to receive all directions on more then one band. Anyway, Skimmers only show S/N. 73 Peter When I last investigated, all the skimmers and Web SDRs that were outside
Actually 4x DB42 are stacked and Kan applied for a 160m sideband approval 73 Peter 73, Jim N7US Now that is an antenna!!!!! http://www3.ocn.ne.jp/~kan1/newmonsterantenna2.html The three SteppIR DB42?
His CL75 CX-M 5-element 80m yagi is on the other tower and still in use. The new 160m antenna was built on order by Create. 73 Peter The web site talks about a CL-75 Yagi, which operates as a dipole
You must have quite a number of receiving antennas and a very slow switch 73 Peter When I am calling CQ I am trying to listening with switching between all of my RX antennas combination to ensure tha

The best improvement will be with a second vertical for a phased array. Second best will be a higher vertical. Making it shorter is a bad idea. 73 Peter Hi all im running a 27,5m high titanex v160hd.
