Topbanders...Paul really would like your input on AU. Any past log info and anything new. From any part of the world. Tnx Carl KM1H -- Begin forwarded message -- From: "Paul Kelley N1BUG" <mmss@agate
Bob, Earl, etc It was my understanding that the 870 uses minimal filtering in the 8.8MHz and 455KHz IF's...just simple 2 or 4 pole types and depends on the 11KHz DSP IF to do all the work. Another po
SNIPS Question: Can the same antenna be used for both ports? For instance many rigs bring the RX line out and back in at the transverter port. Would splitting the 2 signals and adding a delay line on
Dont know if K1AM is active, havent heard Jeff in quite awhile except on RTTY. Try K1NG, John has a BIG station and is also a multi-op contest setup....very active. GL Carl KM1H On Mon, 08 Dec 1997 2
If anyone is gathering propagation info here is another bit of 160M great propagation followed by a 6M opening. 6M has been open most of the day from the South and Midwest and up thru VO and FP. Alth

I would suggest scrounging up CATV hardline in 3/4" diameter....a very common size. This cable is generally free as reel ends of 150-300'. You can easily homebrew splices that will be fine at HF. Man
I heard you in there many times Bill, doing a darn good job too. It appeared that you were hearing fairly deep...SV, 4X, etc, and even better than those closer to the "pond" . Saturday was an exercis

Here is one to add to the interesting mix of subjects we have here lately. I have installed the local "fuzz" on my 170' tower and will be running a shielded telephone line underground from the house

Mike, have you considered a coax feedline? I would think that it would be plenty hard to keep that much open wire feed from radiating and upsetting the vertical pattern. CATV hardline would be a goo
SNIPS Be careful here Doug. The core material and the windings are very important to good performance. Many of us have had excellent results with a FT114-61 core and 16 turns #24 quadrifilar; that gi
LOTS of SNIPS The reasons were covered at length by W8JI and myself in prior posts but to recap: The MMIC will amplify fine at 1.8MHz, I never said it did not. It is however a bad choice in an enviro
