I had 598 QSOs in CQWW CW (10M) and 420 in the ARRL 160 CW, about 85 percent S&P (assisted), and don't recall a single instance where an incorrect spot led me even to think about calling a station wh

From 13 years experience rather than detailed analysis or any knowledge of VE3NEA's decoding methods, I don't think that an additional half-space is a big problem - certainly not as compared to runni

I just deployed my K9AY loop (yes, I know I'm late).  Anyhow, while it shows substantial directivity on broadcast stations, I was surprise by how much the K9AY loop's sensitivity suffers compared to

Darrell, I suspect you would find better response on RFI@contesting.com, where all the mavens hang out. 73, Pete N4ZR On 12/29/2022 9:20 PM, AB2E Darrell wrote: I trip a GFI breaker sometimes on 160m

No, just an error of understanding on my part.  I did a lookup for the last 36 hours, but the map only plots the last 100 spots, something that I should have realized but hadn't.  Apologies to everyo

FWIW, for 160 I used my old 97-foot Rohn 25 tower, with 2 tribanders and a 40M 2-el on it, shunt fed at about 50 feet.  I had a pair of 300 uf variable caps at the bottom, one in series with the feed
