21. Topband: CARRIER ON 1829.25 (score: 1)

A carrier has been present at my QTH on or about this frequency for several years now, but at a much lower signal strength than recently. I was not aware that there were two distinct carriers-I have

I recently built and installed a 2:1 matching transformer on a pair of phased 750 ft Beverages. The antenna works extremely well on 160 and 80, but I noticed that it is not flat much above 5 mhz, unl

A definite peak on my 60 degree Beverages. Readily copyable as I type this (1400Z) on the vertical as well. Strength from S-3 to S-5, then QSB to the noise level. Bill, VE3CSK _______________________

I posted earlier concerning a problem I was having with 2:1 transformers wound on BN202-73 binocular cores. The VSWR increased rapidly above about 5 mhz. Tom, W8JI suggested that the problem may well

Still copyable at S-1 to S-2 on the 60 deg Beverages at 1700Z. Copyable on the vertical at S-1 or below. Still QSB into the noise. Bill, VE3CSK _______________________________________________ Topband

Perhaps listening for awhile to get the rythm of the DX station before jumping in with the field artillery would solve a lot of problems. Bill, VE3CSK _______________________________________________

I have been using 1/8" stainless steel aircraft cable with the proper thimbles and clamps. It seems to be a good trade-off between strength, cost and longevity. The local TSC store orders it in on a

Both W4ZV and KD9SV have identified the cause of some of the garbage we are hearing on the band: RX-only antennas which are not disconnected during transmit. Most current transceivers employ a PCB-mo

Ooooops! Regarding the Front-End Saver circuit, I did not mean to imply that KD9SV's design of this very valuable addition to the shack does not ground the RX antenna port. It does this, along with p

I copied strong JAs right up to 1310Z which is more than an hour past my sunrise. JA1HQT, JA8ISU and JA7NI all had very strong signals, the loudest I have heard this year. As with AA1K, no sign of HL

Operating SOLP, I did not have the benefit of packet spotting or the muscle to hold a frequency forever...it was only a matter of time before a "big guy" dropped onto the frequency and started callin

For the past few years I have been using surplus SPDT relays with 30A contacts to switch all my Beverage lines some distance from the house, and also to switch bands on the 160/80 vertical at our sum

Last Sunday I began hearing TY5MR at about 2345 and tried calling until about 0245 when I took a break. During that time the signal was never better than 559, often ESP only. I came back into the sha

Early this AM S01R was on 1842 SSB with a readable signal-would have been 5/9 had it not been for the S-9+ QRN crashes. That op must have great ears because he was able to pull lots of guys including

Lots of fellows in the log this AM according to what I was hearing. Pretty good signals from about 1025Z to 1135Z-from 339 up to 569 at my QTH, and the op appeared to be hearing well. He kept calling

I live on a farm in a very rural area and have been blessed with an almost S-0 noise level for years-until recently. Beginning about 6 weeks ago, I began to notice a low buzzing at about S 1-2 streng
