81. Topband: Summer conditions (score: 1)

Thanks Tom. The real killer is when someone attaches "for the season" to band closed, or band open. Many readers think its time to quit in the summer. I have not been too active, but can usually work

Have been watching the FCP postings for some time. I was not impressed with 1950's military counterpoises, but many were not tuned. Someone was using the FCP on a 4 square. Wondering if any of the us

It depends a lot on the quality and thickness of the galvanization. I had two ham friends help me dig up one of the back stays from the 1920's Radio Corporation of America radio relay station antenna

This is my opinion also. The prestige of 160 comes from its degree of difficulty. Poor propagation, Jammers, QRM, QRN, and bad locations are all part of what makes it difficult. We then work to over

Dry blowing snow or high wind can cause quite some voltage build up on a antenna, especially a long one. It is possible to draw quite an arc to ground. There have been reports of high voltage electro

Good point Mike, but I am hoping someone has done definitive testing between insulated and un-insulated wire concerning voltage build up. If the voltage is lower with insulated wire there is less to

Hi Eddy, Yes, above some voltage all insulators let high voltage through. Most "common" wire insulation is only good for about 600 volts. Take care not to become a bleeder resistor. Your idea of the

Hi Tom, Thank you for the information, It sounds very convincing. As you have said it is difficult to get a A-B test unless instant switching or direct observation is available. I was hoping for a te

Tom, Thank you for your research and information. You have me convinced My much lower BOG Beverage has a better signal to noise than my taller Beverages in storm events. This aligns to your research.

Looks like "Inside the house antennas" have enough "air space insulation" to prevent corona and voltage arcs. We probably could not insulate an outside antenna that well. 73 Bruce-K1FZ The antenna tr
