Has anyone tried a loop like this in the Horizontal plane? I suppose if one had an AZ mount they could try it from horizontal to Vertical. His flag build was in the July 2015 QST. W0MU ___________
Thanks! I think I will still try to build the vertical version to try. A horizontally polarized loop -- or any other horizontally polarized 160 meter antenna -- has extremely poor sensitivity when in
Isn't a waller flag in the minus 50's? 73, Mike www.w0btu.com DuckDuckGo brought up this at the top of its search: http://kk5jy.net/LoG/ Presumably that is what you mean? best wishes, Nick VE7DXR At
I currently have installed a 8 circle array by DXE. It works fine. It is built for 40/80/160 with the 50 ft radius as that is about all the space I have. I find a rarely if ever need it on 40m so
Do you turn off your phone, email and every other communication method when playing radio? JTAlert texting is just one of many ways people can contact you. He didn't need your RRR either. RR or rr
I don't use my phone to make contacts. I use CW, RTTY, FT8, SSB in no particular order. It is up to each of us to determine what we should log and what we should not. I am sure that we all have rece
FT8 and PSK reporter will work. In my 40yrs + as a ham, it became a habit to first check WWV/WWVH and then carry on with tuning around. We already have ham band propagation beacons on 20 through 10 m
and that right there sums up why we have a problem. Sorry to see you go. I am a 40+ ham and only 54 years old. This makes me really sad and angry as I would like my hobby to be around in for the ne

Sad news. RIP 73 Jack W0MU I am truly saddened to have to pass along the contents of an email I just received from Carl Leahy who was one of Jack Leahy, VE1ZZ's sons. It is short and sweet - but I w
That "Drone" is a toy. I think you will need something a bit more robust. I am sending this drone back for a refund. It is uncontrollable in any direction. I don't know how it got so many good revie
FT8 was not created to be a rate mode. It is a weak signal mode. For those of us a long way from the East Coast and salt it allows us to work stations that we probably had very little shot of worki

These and the surplus masts could be painted with marine grade paint. Those with SteppIR antennas with their tubes have been doing it for years. You can use other non conductive paint for extra pro
Did DXE not sell enough of these to continue? It appears the PI4CC folks are reworking the controller as the page says QRX. RX-amps, you will get 10 pieces for 20 euro. Switch-board you will

If you use a line level on the ropes you can put the bases at the proper place and raise them above ground as needed, if needed. You flat landers need not worry about such nonsense :) W0MU While thin
Same thing was said about SSB. The sky is not falling. K1JT might have saved Ham Radio. Seems to be quite popular. 60 plus percent of all LOTW confirms are FT-X now....Speaks volumes. There is room
Cheating is cheating. How many people used remote stations, exceeded their power limits, etc. Singling out a mode because you are upset that it has taken away activity in your preferred mode is n
