I'll take your word (and Tom's) for it. But that's not how I interpreted what Bruce states there. This is what I said was "From USA & CanadaHe earns contest points for DX contacts only" 73 Bruce An
Thank you for those who emailed information. They basically thought the larger windmill arrays did not generate much noise. One test, checking all bands, was from a mobile K3 with a 9 foot whip anten
Hi Brian, Thank you for your input and sorry to find that the windmill farm noise caused ZL6QH to close down. It will become evident that each country will need enforce RF noise limits on windmills,
Hi Brian, Thank You, appreciate your information and help. There is one message on the reflector now. Will forward, but you may have found it already. 73, All the best, Bruce-K1FZ Hi Bruce Very happy
I agree with Herb. Also Haiti is on an earthquake fault. The quarter wave tower would have a better chance of survival and is safer. 73 Bruce-K1FZ Half wave verticals have been very disappointing to

Len, Thanks for your input, There were reports of early afternoon propagation on 160 in North America, thanks to the reflective, glancing blow, CME poperties. 73 Bruce-K1FZ Hi Bruce, I still remember
Break away ties on Beverage wires can help along with tree limb trimming. Large limbs can take down larger, more expensive wires. 73 Bruce-K1FZ www.qsl.net/k1fz/beveragenotes.html I have 4 dual-wires
Try a QRZ search on zip code or city & state. Bruce-K1FZ Preliminary look says somewhere around N7UA or Camano Island. I cannot remember the ham on Camano Is call. Anybody know either to have them ch
Had originally installed 26 watt CFL's to replace 100 watt filament type. Many noise problems as time passed. Have now replaced all with Halogen 72 watt soft white. Still have some power saving, but
Intriguing question ? Has anyone on the reflector ACTUALLY tried two wire audio twisted pair for a 2 wire, two direction Beverage antenna. If yes, how did it work ? Notice any added directional prope
Thanks for the input I have one Beverage using WD-1A also. Audio wire is and has been used in Radio & TV stations that I have worked. It is constructed to reject AC hum and RF into the pair. It works
Hi Jorge, Many years ago, I had a, near to, similar problem. An old barn with a rusty metal roof with bad metal inter-connections was the problem. 73 Bruce-K1FZ www.qsl.net/k1fz/beveragenotes.html Hi
A calibrated dummy load wattmeter at the far end of the cable can be a real eye opener. Power loss distributed 1000 feet would not result in much warming. 73 Bruce-K1FZ www.qsl.net/k1fz/pennantnotes.
Heating is not a good guide for long coax runs. One watt of heating, in one foot of length, would hardly be detectable. Multiply times 1000 feet and a kilowatt of power is lost. The same logic not to
Exactly right -- it's because the current is much smaller for the same power. Correct Jim. With an RF amp meter 5.477 amps squared times 50 ohm coax equals 1499.8764 watts With 1.8 amps squared times
