After posting my video link about TX and RX direction switching, I have received some emails asking about how I switch my various transmit antennas. This morning I built another video that describes
After uploading my YouTube videos about remote RX switching and frequency dependant TX switching last week, I have received some emails asking about how the remote station is controlled. I made a You
Hi Bob, and all, Yes Bob, here also two nights ago G3PQA and F5NZ were both worked in VE6 via the direct polar pathno skew here. Last night the band was in great shape again with G4UFK, ON7PQ, G3OQT
Here are my thoughts on FACT vs FICTION regarding FT-8 and CW on 160m. (These thoughts relate to working DXnot local NA stations) FICTION: "All the DX has moved to FT8 on 160m like it did on 6m". FAC
This week I added a second gamma-wire to my shunt fed tower for 160m in order to lower the reactance and therefore lower the voltage across my matching network. This winter I was having some flash-ov

After posting my video on shunt-feeding a tower, I have received a few emails asking about the omega match. Here is the link to a short 3 min video I made explaining the method of using the omega mat
A few weeks ago I uploaded a video on some design and construction ideas for Beverage matching and termination boxes. I show how to wind your own transformers, and present a few different enclosure m
Here is my latest video showing some of the techniques and methods I use for installing Beverage wire antennas in the field: https://youtu.be/l91JL2ImEbk <https://youtu.be/l91JL2ImEbk> Described are
The weather is good. Here is another video showing how I use the antenna analyzer to take measurements of the Beverage antenna in the field: https://youtu.be/yiFW_u1CPrs <https://youtu.be/yiFW_u1CPrs
Here is a video of some of the methods I use for problem detection on my Beverage rx system: https://youtu.be/PA67Tz-1TO4 <https://youtu.be/PA67Tz-1TO4> At VE6WZ I have 12 Beverage wires (8 direction

Last night DF2PY was making it across the pole to VE6. Wolf could not hear me so we did not make a QSO, but Dave W0FLS worked him and he also worked Rino IK7JTF who was only running 100w. I was very
After 2.5 years of flawless operation, earlier this summer my YCCC 9 circle rx array started to develop some strange inter-mod noise, and random junk showed up on 160m when using the array. I isolate
Paul is absolutely correct. The op-amp is a configured as non-inverting. I incorrectly assumed it was wired to invert simply because all of the pre-amps show the same 180 phase shift. Steve From Babc
Today I uploaded a YouTube video showing my YCCC 9 circle HI-Z preamp redesign that uses a relay to ground the vertical during transmit, or when not in use. https://youtu.be/dl-crM5Kb6A <https://yout
CW is alive and well on 160m! This week 48 JA made it into the log, many of which are unique callsigns never worked before. This morning Kevin VK6LW was louder than I have ever heard him, and Luke VK
