Another key-click "friendly" rig is the Kenwood TS-950SDX. It includes the CW waveform rise/fall time adjustment as a menu item (#22), settable to 2, 4, 6, or 8 milliseconds. I run mine at 6 mS, afte

Here in upstate NY I've not found my sunset peak to be of much use during many nights of listening to the FT5. In Maine Paul may not have seen a significant peak just before their sunrise two nights

A response to my FT5XO posting from Al, K7CA, has led me to one of the most fascinating examples of DX propagation from North America that I have ever played with. I know the propagation gurus know a

Oh, I definitely think so. After all, near the antipode, long and short paths are nearly the same length, so the added mileage tranversed by a "long path" ray imparts very little added penalty. Of fa

One thing I perhaps didn't emphasize enough in my posting yesterday: When you are at or near the antipode of the DX station you are chasing, there is no one heading from you to him. There is NO short

To the best of my knowledge, 160 is the only band that caused problems with mt DSL modem -- but only when running my amp. It was very helpful here. But connecting your DSL modem to the phone line in

I agree with Tree. For MF/HF/VHF terrestrial weak signal CW reception I have found over the decades that I seem to do best with a hardware filter bandwidth no narrower than 1000 to 1200 Hz. Super nar

I heard ZD8QD on 1.828 MHz at 0030Z - 0040Z on 23 February 2006. He was having a lot of trouble pulling my call out of his local noise. (Or maybe it was my weak signal.) I can't recall if he worked a
