I would think that would cause issues with all those conductors. Can a RBOG run through a radial field without compromising performance? Tnx, Mike KA2FIR _________________ Topband Reflector Archives
They are so cheap that people would buy their own and have friends around the world set them up. It is probably being done now. There is no way to stop the cheating. They are individual awards.
I saw on the cluster that their beverage was stolen by locals. Cannot confirm or not. Just FYI Don wd8dsb Yes, I heard all the US stations calling them too . . . as well as Europeans and Russians. Th
I have some 6ft wide chicken wire I can roll out on top of my existing radial field for 160. Does anyone have an idea what this might do? W0MU _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://w
Could you not get more out those elements if you had phased them? Obviously there would be more work required for the phasing system. One element short of a 4 square. My initial assessment indicat
I was going to try to phase 2 80m verticals but just could not find the room. You get endfire and broadside. I assume you have to put down the same radial field for a Parasitic element as a driven o
If you are on one of the Islands such as Ambergris or cawker you would have plenty of Salt going west, if you can get a beach location on the East. Same for some area of Placentia. In February I di
I trust in Tree! Some of trouble makers might be on moderation by default LOL. W0MU Respectfully, Tree, maybe you should go into Bill Tippett mod mode. He wasn't so subtle. (And now that I think abou
I worked CT, CT3, F, JA, Kh6, KL7, UA9 for non carib or SA contacts. I missed much of the early Saturday night opening as I was gone. I was very happy to log the JA and UA9! Otherwise is was pretty
Tuesday I worked an EA7 on FT8. Wednesday activity FT8 wise was down quite a bit. When UK9AA was spotted on CW, as always I listened but thought, with these poor condx, there was no chance. To my sur
It was conditions and it was SSB! I could not hear PJ4G last night. The only DX that was "loud" was ZF2. W0MU On 2/24/2018 10:07 AM, Jack Henry via Topband wrote: I was struggling to be heard in th

Activity was way down on FT8 as well. However, I was on last night on CW and was Spotted, and received by NA RBN stations. But no actual Contacts !! Hopefully there will be some activity tonight. I s

Thanks for the QSO! The 160 contact was much easier than the 80m one and now I know why. I was not around for the FT8 160 but I probably would have passed as I had you guys on CW. Signals were pret

IARU was going on and lots of people are on 6m for E skip season. I have been leaving my rcv on 6m not 160 lately. W0MU On 7/14/2018 7:50 PM, Grant Saviers wrote: Agree. At my QTH 47.6 N (Seattle) t

Interesting. My rcv array is probably 500 ft from the Xmit antenna or any antenna so I am probably ok? My 70ft tower is 70ish feet from the 160 inverted l. I wonder if there is much to be gained b
