101. Re: Topband: 4SQ vs. 8 circle rcv (score: 1)

I have used the W3LPL 8-circle in a TBDC (a TBDC that was 99% domestic stuff). The 8-circle is surprisingly directive. Almost all strong signals just drop down into the noise if you are two notches o

Heard very well here in MD from 1120Z-1220Z on my west-facing pennant, deep fade at my sunrise to ESP. Working mostly JA's but trying for NA. (Although at least once K5P called for EU!) Tim N3QE ____

Les, I am 100% sure, when they called for EU, that it was not intentional. I betcha they thought that function key did "CQ NA". I think they were doing a decent job working NA until JA sunset. Might

They had huge signal on 160M here in W3 last night. On 80M... my unconfirmed suspicion is that they have one ?Battle Creek Special? and maybe one ?lowband receive system?, and cannot activate both 16

Is there some sort of Asiatic Russia/Siberian/??? contest going on with 160M and 80M right now? Obviously too late for me to hear anything but I see a huge number and variety of spots on the bandmap.

Mike, if you go to clublog.org, search K5P DXpedition log for your call, and mouse over the greenie, you will see the operator for your QSO (his call and picture). I don't think they've uploaded this

I feel those competing for the top scores, would need multiple remote receivers (not allowed by the rules) and would suffer from latency. What this does do, is allow some limited operation with a sin

I could not help notice, that several prominent well-known DX'ers were CQ'ing up well above 1850kc over the weekend. One reason I'm sure was that the QRM was thinner up there, and the mix certainly w

On your last point Tree, I believe that back then the west coast could only do high power at the high end of the band, and the east coast could only do high power at low end of band. I have been told

My opinions: All-band antenna tuners make a set of compromises to produce a tuner that fits in one box. They may not be able to handle legal limit on RTTY. Or legal limits CW/SSB on other bands, espe
