N3FJP for super simple easy 5 min learning curve for the Stew Perry, works for me a 69 year old fart. 73 Merv K9FD/KH6 Thanks for all the recommendations for N1MM, but I am just unable to install it
I live on a former AM BC site, and cannot see any way that you could put up 4 elevated radials and disconnect the ground system that was in place. The ground system here is typical installation and i
Conditions have been very poor to say the least from KH6 land especially to EU. What few contacts I have made have been from a very skewed western direction. Today was no different, path over the pol
Yes one thing for sure, its a lot nicer and easier to work em when the click and call crowd does not even know they are on. I am on every day from somewhere around 1430 to 1700 and spend 99 percent o
Now thats a strange one Milt, I was up and ears peeled at 1330Z until now 1545Z and never heard a peep outta him, never heard anyone calling at all, what Freq was this happening on? Only stations on
Yes no doubt, it seems if a persons personal agenda precedes their ability to read with any comprehension on this reflector so many times, here we go again. The discussion is about the placement of a
Aloha Bjorn. Heard you calling cq 1833.7 this morning starting at 1450Z. signals weak about 449 on peaks, a lot of slow QSB. Heard you on and off and past my sunrise 1710Z peaking about 559. Signals
Yes he did not have the split button pushed for about 10 mins or so. He was cqing on 22.5 and saying dn 4 but was actually listening on 22.5 also.. he found the mistake and moved to the normal 26.5 q
They have been on 160/80 almost every day, so far I have not heard a peep on 160, seems they are on for their sunset and then move to 80. Right now at 1700Z they are 579 at my sunrise peak on 3510 Th
Looks pretty plain, you count for nothing zero nada QRM to another USA W/VE: Each DXCC country once per band Non-W/VE: Each state, District of Columbia, VE province/territory once per band Then maybe
Depends on the noise at your location, before I removed the 300 ft towers here I matched one for 160 and ran low power in the Stew Perry a few years ago, ended up number 1 world wide if memory is cor
My current antenna is somewhat what you ask about Mike, its 70 ft vertical with two top hat wires to resonate at 1830. the top hat wires slope down to perhaps 20 ft high. For 80 meters I switch in a
Lots of things to check, processor on, what mic used, need the bias turned on for your mike, have mic gain set for high or low in the menus, have the right amount of ALC showing K3 needs the ALC to b
Wow the more this thread goes the deeper the s**t gets, the first poster has no chance,, reminds me of a pig wrestling contest, you jump in and all you do is get is full of mud and s**t. Im heading d
I had the opportunity to work K9DX many times when he was using this array, he was one of the only stations who would hear me call an hour before my sunset, and when he switched the array from EU to
I have the same type noise here, mine reads 3513.3 warbles, at times sounds a little unstable, its on the antenna for sure, I have all underground utilities no close neighbors and nothing on in the h
Same here, seems most trips to that area only put receive antennas up for EU or central USA, that puts me on the side of the antenna or rear.. Many times I can copy them 579 to 599 and they are impos
Is this a slow year or is it just me.. have been listening on and off for a month at sunrise and its very few and far between signals, Caught VK9, E51, C21 etc, no new ones but at least some activity
Ever had one of those days when things dont go your way.. This AM about an hour before sunrise I am hearing VU2GBS calling cq on top band, hot dog a new one. But I hear a couple JA, VK, ZL also calli
Also sunrise path is overlooked, W6 - W7 would benefit from operation at 1400Z. Have worked 9K2 at those times, not on the other path at 0400Z. Mis tres Centavos 73 Merv K9FD/KH6 After ALL this work,
