1. Re: Topband: Use of Remote Receivers During 160 Meter Contests (score: 1)

Shouldn't this topic be dealt with at a generic level rather than CQ WW 160? The remote receiver is as valuable on 80 or 40 as it is on 160 in a contest. I agree wholeheartedly with the feeling that

I agree with John's (KK9A) commentary but not necessarily that it needs a new category. Just add it to the assisted category. Leave the unassisted category as is. Assisted is an evolving slippery slo

The best write up and data I have seen on this subject was the "team vertical" report on test done in Jamaica back about 10 or more years ago. As I recall, the vertical signal strength to low angle D

?Same here. My T vertical for 160 is 100 ft vertical and 82 ft horizontal. That makes the antenna resonant below the band, with a feedpoint Z of 50 ohms plus some inductive reactance on 160M. I add s

Are you actually talking about "switched 2 direction beverages" or 2 bi-directional beverages. A bi-directional beverage receives in 2 directions at the same time on a single wire. It is un-terminate

The 5NN discussion brought up an interesting subject to me. Signal strengths reported on 75M SSB are funny to listen too as people seem to be in a "mines bigger than yours" competition on how many dB

I am sure that this is someone remoting. Nothing wrong with it, in my opinion. They can legally use their own call assuming they are licensed to be where they are, which isn't hard on 160M. And its n

It would be hard to believe that the control operator is outside the US, beyond the FCC jurisdiction, and no one in the US is responsible. If that is the case, its pretty scary in my opinion. 73 Ed N
