Hi folks - I'm new to this list and fairly new to 160 meters and I've got a couple questions. I've been licensed since '64 and have spent the majority of my hamming on CW, 80-10 meters. A couple year

Just got on 160 meters a few weeks ago with a fairly low Inverted L (35' vertical, the rest horizontal), and only two 125' long elevated radials. Was easily able to work T32C Friday morning (05:30) u

Although I'm far from being an antenna "expert", I second Wes' comments about matching a 160 meter Inverted L. I recently made my first ever Inverted L and am very, very pleased with the results. Min

Just my two cents worth on the zero beat issue. My station is one of the little guns / squirt guns. I operated in the weekend's contest with a K3/100 into an Inverted L with only 25 feet in the verti

I can second that - I was trying to get an 80 meter inverter L with FCP working this past spring and the measurements I got with my MFJ-259B were really whacky. Working with K2AV we realized that my

My 80 meter FCP installation was done last spring with the assistance of Guy K2AV. I have NO additional ground at the antenna feed point at this time. The outer coax conductor is at ground where it e

If anyone in this group is not yet on 160 because of limited space, or you are using a crummy antenna on 80 meters, I want to share with you my recent experience using an Inverted L and the K2AV FCP

Bill, FWIW, I'm using 30 turns of 9913 coax close wound on a length of 8" ID PVC tube. Works very well for me. Jim / W6JHB _________________ Topband Reflector

I was just looking through the ARRL Antenna Book - if it's RG-8, then 8 turns would work if wound on an 8 inch PVC tube. However, that size PVC may be difficult to find, and certainly wouldn't be to

Mike - FWIW - I had a two tuned-radial 80 meter Inverted L hung in one of our redwood trees. Replaced it with an FCP and my bandwidth was almost the same. Quite happy with the FCP at this QTH. We are

This contest, along with the Stew Perry versions, certainly make one wonder - WHERE THE HECK ARE ALL THE CW OPS THE REST OF THE YEAR? On any given night, one can jump on 160 (or even 80) meters and h

Yes, but....... with the speed I see many ops running CW, they most certainly have a lot of CW under their belt! I operate mostly CW and some of these guys are going so fast I have to listen a few ti

I'd like to add my .02 to this thread, as an observer. There certainly are two sides to the story. The folks running "big gun" stations on top band in the contest are out there trying to garner point

Hmmm..... $388 for an item from China from a seller with only a feedback of 66 - scary, methinks. And 3-6 weeks delivery - yikes! As a seller with close to a feedback level of nearly 6,000 - this is

No - didn't mis-read the stats. 100% rating is good. 66 sales is OK, but I'd be very concerned about sending nearly $400 to a seller over there with "only" 66 feedback. I've been in business on eBay
