Herb, I have been thinking about building the same type of antenna that Charlie has in mind. I have two questions: 1) You say to connect the top wires together end to end. I think that mean at the en

Nick, I'm glad someone is picking up the fishing beacon documentation and history. I believe it is you that is wanting to keep an SWL log of beacons heard. If not, pse let me know who is. http://www.

Petr, Its nice to see the fishing beacons and how they can operate. The beacons I hear, I think are in the Pacific Ocean probably off the coast of the US, Mexico or Hawaii. I wonder if there is a way

Nick, A 50ft tophat vertical is a good antenna. I would suggest that you put down as many 135 ft long radials as possible, at least 25. If this is not feasible, put down as may random lengths radials

Gary, Take a look at the Hi-Z web site, It shows how others have mounted their verticals. Mine is a variation of a couple of them. I drove a 4 ft ground rod (8ft'er cut in half) with about 6" out of

All, I agree that there should be a real 160M DX Window. At least we might hear some DX outside of NA/SA. My main reason I operate 160m is to work DX - its very challenging from the West Coast and re

I have a 67 ft base coil fed vertical, 4", 3" & 2" irrigation pipe with two 50 ft top hat wires that I use on 160m. I have about 100 - 135 ft radials on the ground. So far I have been pleased with it

Have you tried the actual cable companies? My local Cableone cable service gave me a spool with about 800 ft on it. At the time, they had probably 6 - 8 spools with odds lengths in their yard, so giv
