I recently acquired some new equipment and haven't done a comparison yet. I have been using a Kenwood TS-570SG for some time and the CW DSP does a great job of pulling signals out of the noise. Now I

Thanks to all for input on my vertical project. The base was installed yesterday, the tubing riveted together and the coil/top hat built. I still need to install the radials and tune it up on Wednesd

Richard, You have a good point. I was thinking that one of the small cables (RG178 or RG179, note that these are not double shielded) would do the job and not be so heavy and cumbersome. The advantag

Tom, Excellent. I haven't seen these articles but I will be on the look out for them. Twin lead will certainly have lower loss and is cheaper than coax. Although the loss of small coax is high, this

Gents, Here is an online coil calculator (K6STI) that is handy for those loading coils. It is interesting to see the effect of different coil form materials. For example, the top loading coil for my

My 38 ft top-loaded vertical is finished and I made 173 QSOs in the ARRL 'test running 5 W. Rad EFF is 25% and the effective GND loss is 20 ohms. The next step is to try a "base-hat" in place of the

Interesting propagation during the Stew Perry. The QRN level here was S-3 during the ARRL 160 M and S-9 during the SP. I couldn't tell if signals were weaker in the SP or if they were just buried in

I like to think of the Beverage antenna as nothing more than a directional coupler. I'll run some simulations with nearby Beverages open and then terminated to see what is best. I bet it's best to te

I've been working on some methods to determine proper Beverage termination. Some time domain and some frequency domain. Has anyone tried a TDR on a Beverage? I would use a pulse generator with a 10 n

Mike, you didn't say how tall your tower is but I will assume it is 70'. A quarter wavelength inverted-L would be great on 160 meters. The radiation resistance is 22 ohms and the pattern is omnidirec

Thanks Earl. For shunt fed towers, or any tower situation in which accuracy is needed, I like to build a tower in NEC using crossbraces and such. I'll cu in the ARRL 'test with my 5 watts to a tiny i

Peter, a slightly short Inverted-L with a shunt coil to GND might be the way to go since you don't have a variable capacitor. The 65' tall Inverted-L has a radiation resistance of 18 ohms. Depending

The Inverted-L and the T are pretty close in performance, if one considers less than a decibel to be close. In the case of the 50' x 83' Inverted-L, the T is better by about 0.7 dB at a TOA of 10 deg
