21. Topband: Radials across a driveway and garage floor (score: 1)
Author: "Shoppa, Tim" <tshoppa@wmata.com>

The bottom of my 160M transmit vertical (actually more of a Marconi T) is roughly centered in the center of the lot... nestled right between house/garage/driveway. With the house in the center of the

At my QTH (suburban Washington DC FM19ka), I do not hear a steady carrier at 1820, but instead would describe it as a raucous cacaphony of buzzsaws from 1820-1827 or so, especially in evenings. What'

At my QTH, many of the local (just a few miles away) AM BC stations cut back power a lot at sunset. The cleanup is remarkable on my transmit Marconi. Before sunset and without any reject filters, I l

I note that there's a RSGB 160M contest 2100Z Nov 17 to 0100Z Nov 18. http://www.rsgbcc.org/hf/rules/2012/r2nd-160m-2012.shtml Unlike past RSGB/UK contest timings, this one seems to have some overlap

DL6FBL is easily the strongest, an honest S7-S8, of all the OK/OM contest stations "bleeding over" here to the states shortly before sunset. Wow, that's great. Tim N3QE ______________________________

I think we have to be careful, that innocent regular users of 160M for non-DX and non-PT0S-DX, don't get swept up as "calling PT0S". Especially with the DX sometimes listening UP through a broad swat

Getting away from what we are discussing now (limiters) and back to the original question... it really is just a few bucks for a relay for a rig (without separate T and R jacks) at the 100W level, to

I doubt the wire broke at corner because RF is too high. Mechanical dressing at any corner is far more relevant. The stranded Polystealth is good stuff, will survive bends without good mechanical str

I just looked at the clublog leaderboard for PT0S, http://www.clublog.org/charts/?c=PT0S#r And was surprised how evenly distributed QSO's per band are distributed from my zone (CQ Zone 5), with more

Was listening to 160M last night. PT0S going up and down in my local noise. On a peak up, I drop my call in, he comes back to me with my partial call, I fill it in again, have the QSO, and he goes do

They were clear as a bell last night on 80M CW, a very very good sign. I would like to know what sort of low band transmit antennas that 5T0SP and/or C5A are using. Whatever it is, wow it works to NA

After the Thurs night NCCC NS sprint I called CQ on 160 and worked two guys who were on 160 for their first time ever. One was there to see what it's like before the ARRL 160 and the other was there

W4TV points out: It looks to me that at least in the LP category, the midwest is consistently having most all the top scores in ARRL 160. Shouldn't be too surprising - last night I was listening to m

My 160 TX antenna is also my 130-foot-doublet. It's up about 80 feet and fed with ladder line. To use on 160, I tie the feedline together at the bottom and feed against ground as something like a "Ma

I think Rick's recommendations go very much in the right direction for a garden variety contest QSO and can be tweaked as appropriate. In the ARRL 160 I was called by several guys who went through th

I think it depends on how much you think you "own" the run frequency. If you really feel you own it worldwide, no need to send your call as part of the exchange while running. Or his call after its b

Don't mean to leapfrog you guys technologically. But you don't need to interface your radio to your computer, because lots of other hams have already done this. CQ'ing stations are logged in the "Rev

The concept of a "completely level playing field contest" is an interesting one. There were several contests in the 1960's that attempted to level the playing field for all participants worldwide. T
