Topband: Condx Saturday night/Sunday morning (score: 1): Author: richard@karlquist.com (Richard Karlquist); Date: Sun, 10 Mar 2002 15:42:21 -0800; I was going to take down the 160 vertical this weekend to rebuild it, figuring the "season" was over. I decided to put it on the air for one last night on Saturday. At 0130 I turned on the rig and he; /archives//html/Topband/2002-03/msg00089.html (7,635 bytes)
22. Topband: MFJ power line noise receiver or alternatives? (score: 1): Author: richard@karlquist.com (Richard Karlquist); Date: Sun, 10 Mar 2002 16:26:26 -0800; I am wondering if anyone has used the MFJ power line noise receiver that came out last year. I don't own any VHF/UHF gear except 2m FM HT's (which are not useful for this, I understand). I need to ge; /archives//html/Topband/2002-03/msg00090.html (7,755 bytes)

(score: 1): Author: richard@karlquist.com (Richard Karlquist); Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2002 10:57:20 +0000; I noticed that HRO has a Yaesu scanner (VR-120) for $129 that covers .5 to 1300 MHz. Although more money than the other solutions, it appears to be the best because you can use any frequency you want; /archives//html/Topband/2002-03/msg00117.html (7,660 bytes)

Many east coast stations called me on phone. Even several Florida stations (FL is normally tough even on CW from the west coast). On CW, I could h; /archives//html/Topband/2002-02/msg00039.html (6,768 bytes)
25. Topband: Re: Noise and reception (score: 1): Author: richard@karlquist.com (Richard Karlquist); Date: Tue, 19 Feb 2002 11:30:56 +0000; I think what has been neglected in this discussion is the local noise environment. If you have a low noise QTH (such as Tom apprarently does), then it makes sense that vertical polarization is the wa; /archives//html/Topband/2002-02/msg00115.html (8,393 bytes)

Topband: Beverage grounds (score: 1): Author: richard@karlquist.com (Richard Karlquist); Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2002 08:29:28 -0800; I have used both ground rods and radials and both seem to work about the same, although I haven't done a real A/B comparison. However, when I used radials, I typically would have 3 or 4 quarter-wave; /archives//html/Topband/2002-02/msg00208.html (8,782 bytes)

(score: 1): Author: richard@karlquist.com (Richard Karlquist); Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2002 20:34:11 -0800; Just thinking out loud here, I wonder if it would make sense to have DX stations operate from 1830 to 1840 or whatever and listen exactly 100 kHz above their transmitting frequency (ie 1930 to 1940).; /archives//html/Topband/2002-02/msg00229.html (7,739 bytes)
28. Topband: bandplan (score: 1): Author: richard@karlquist.com (Richard Karlquist); Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2002 08:20:13 -0800; This all sounds good, but it seems to me it just creates a VE phone band. Why should we expect VE's to honor a voluntary band plan on 160 when US stations won't? On all the other bands, VE's use the; /archives//html/Topband/2002-01/msg00175.html (7,568 bytes)
29. Topband: Shunt feed on a budget (score: 1): Author: richard@karlquist.com (Richard Karlquist); Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2002 08:48:56 -0800; Arcing in the air insulated section isn't the only problem. Frequently, you will get arcing in the thin air gap between the dielectric and the metal plate. This gets worse for high permittivity diele; /archives//html/Topband/2002-01/msg00228.html (8,196 bytes)

Topband: Beverage current distribution (score: 1): Author: richard@karlquist.com (Richard Karlquist (N6RK)); Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2001 08:01:18 -0700; Yesterday, I measured the current distribution on my 550 ft beverages. The near end/far end current ratio was 5 dB on 160m gradually increasing to 10 dB on 40m. It seems to me that, at 550 ft, I have; /archives//html/Topband/2001-09/msg00132.html (7,716 bytes)

It was very low loss, a few tenths of a dB on 160 up to about a dB on 10 meters. I would say that the str; /archives//html/Topband/2001-07/msg00082.html (7,310 bytes)

I think you have now permanently debunked the sloping wire configuration, in case anyone still believed in it. It wasn't clear if you also eliminated the vertical drop from t; /archives//html/Topband/2003-09/msg00056.html (7,724 bytes)
37. RE: Topband: 160 Beacons (score: 1): Author: "Richard Karlquist" <richard@karlquist.com>; Date: Mon, 15 Sep 2003 19:54:39 -0700; What is the legality of a 160 meter beacon for FCC licensees? I searched on this a little and it seems that "unattended" ones are only allowed on 10 meters and up and then only in specific subbands.; /archives//html/Topband/2003-09/msg00063.html (8,100 bytes)
