Re: Topband: Best Height Above Ground for a Beverage RX Antenna (score: 1): Author: "Rick Karlquist" <richard@karlquist.com>; Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2007 14:45:42 -0800 (PST); I just wanted to say that my experience agrees with Larry. When I first started using beverages, I observed that most people used a height of 8 to 10 feet, so I assumed that must be the right thing t; /archives//html/Topband/2007-01/msg00189.html (8,563 bytes)

My beverages (at 2 to 3 feet) are OK on 160, good on 80 (I can work LP), and positively fabulous on 40 and 30, especially LP. As always, YMMV.

Re: Topband: noise (score: 1): Author: "Rick Karlquist" <richard@karlquist.com>; Date: Sun, 14 Jan 2007 15:56:52 -0800 (PST); I don't know about Motorola, but Collins had a system with a 40 MHz receiver. However, it was just a noise blanker. The only thing unique was listening on 40 MHz instead of near the receive frequency; /archives//html/Topband/2007-01/msg00270.html (7,976 bytes)

Re: Topband: VF - It is what it is (score: 1): Author: "Richard (Rick) Karlquist" <richard@karlquist.com>; Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2007 13:28:53 -0800; Or you could use a pi network as a lumped delay in place of the separate piece of cable. Then you don't have to worry about cable aging at all. Rick N6RK ____________________________________________; /archives//html/Topband/2007-03/msg00158.html (7,930 bytes)

This presupposes that IP3 is independent of excitation level below some threshold, which is typically something like 10 dB; /archives//html/Topband/2007-07/msg00005.html (7,426 bytes)

Let's say you have verticals spaced 1/8 wave. A radial from one vertical headed towards the other is 1/16 wave long.

Re: Topband: RX antenna testing (score: 1): Author: "Rick Karlquist" <richard@karlquist.com>; Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2007 11:35:27 -0700 (PDT); I usually test new RX antenna ideas out by building a 2.5 MHz version and listening to WWV.

Instead of the DXE amplifier, just use a Mini-circuits transformer, such as T36-1 for $6.55.; /archives//html/Topband/2007-08/msg00080.html (8,020 bytes)

Have you tried those? Did you use a preamp after the transformer? We're all envious of your location.
