1. Topband: Skew (score: 1): Author: w7my@yahoo.com (Greg Chartrand); Date: Thu, 16 Jan 2003 18:39:49 -0800 (PST); I have been reading the thread regarding skew posted by W7IUV. I wonder how much if any of the reported skew is the result of the angle from which the signal is arriving? Many, including myself have; /archives//html/Topband/2003-01/msg00100.html (7,787 bytes)
2. Topband: Raise the feedpoint? (score: 1): Author: w7my@yahoo.com (Greg Chartrand); Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2001 06:11:48 -0800 (PST); Here's a question for the vertical/modeling experts. I have a 65' top loaded vertical I just put up. In the past, I laid out as many radials as I could of various lengths. Unfortunately I'm on the si; /archives//html/Topband/2001-11/msg00083.html (6,946 bytes)
3. Topband: Increased range for Heath SB-1000 (score: 1): Author: w7my@yahoo.com (Greg Chartrand); Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2001 04:55:41 -0700 (PDT); Tim, Probably the cheapest and easiest would be to use the bandswitch to provide multiple taps for your pi network. If you're ambitious, replace the cheese slicers with vacuum variables with increase; /archives//html/Topband/2001-07/msg00060.html (7,084 bytes)
4. Topband: DSP 599zx version 5 (score: 1): Author: w7my@yahoo.com (Greg Chartrand); Date: Fri, 2 Mar 2001 05:02:24 -0800 (PST); I upgraded my Timewave 599zx about 2 weeks ago to version 5. I am amazed at the performance when using the new CW spotlight mode. When the sigs get weak, I usually crank the bandwidth down to the poi; /archives//html/Topband/2001-03/msg00014.html (7,178 bytes)
5. Topband: 599zx follow up (score: 1): Author: w7my@yahoo.com (Greg Chartrand); Date: Sat, 3 Mar 2001 15:27:48 -0800 (PST); I have a ic 737 so its an old fashioned "don't got any dsp" radio so the 599zx has been very useful to me. The effectivenss of these "toys" become very personal as they help or hurt the individual op; /archives//html/Topband/2001-03/msg00032.html (8,165 bytes)
6. Topband: Rx Loop and Tower Radiating Noise? (score: 1): Author: w7my@yahoo.com (Greg Chartrand); Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2001 04:56:18 -0800 (PST); Steve, Absolutely, it will radiate noise. Long time ago I observed the same situation. I had a large loop rotatable about 60' away from my xmit antenna and it always nulled at the vertical. I took a; /archives//html/Topband/2001-03/msg00121.html (7,798 bytes)
7. Topband: Rx Loop and Tower Radiating Noise? (score: 1): Author: w7my@yahoo.com (Greg Chartrand); Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2001 19:56:08 -0800 (PST); A good question was asked, what do you do with a shunt fed tower? I can think of several different ways to achieve the same result but they all depend on how the tower is matched and how close to a r; /archives//html/Topband/2001-03/msg00126.html (8,231 bytes)
8. Topband: Topband impossible from this QTH ? (score: 1): Author: w7my@yahoo.com (Greg Chartrand); Date: Wed, 7 Feb 2001 05:04:39 -0800 (PST); Rob, Impossible on 160 usually means you live under a 1,000,000 volt powerline and can't hear anything! Obviously you have to manage your expectations, but virtually everyone has to on 160. My 1st. a; /archives//html/Topband/2001-02/msg00031.html (8,391 bytes)
9. Topband: Using noise canceller with low-noise RX antenna (score: 1): Author: w7my@yahoo.com (Greg Chartrand); Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2001 06:10:24 -0800 (PST); Pete, I have been using a 1026 since the fall. I have modified my station so I can use several different antennas as the sense or primary antenna. You are right that the unit will only work when both; /archives//html/Topband/2001-01/msg00020.html (8,137 bytes)
10. Topband: 160 Meter Propagation (score: 1): Author: w7my@yahoo.com (Greg Chartrand); Date: Sun, 7 Jan 2001 04:35:15 -0800 (PST); I want to believe there is a good scientific explanation for predicting conditions but the best indicator I have this year is my weather. It has been almost 100% accurate for predicting good conditio; /archives//html/Topband/2001-01/msg00071.html (9,167 bytes)
11. Topband: 160 antennas (score: 1): Author: w7my@yahoo.com (Greg Chartrand); Date: Wed, 20 Dec 2000 14:39:45 -0800 (PST); I used a variation of the inverted U for 10 years with great sucess. It was 60' up, 60' over and 60' back down. Because it was 3/8 wave long, its radiation resistance was 50 ohms and only needed a se; /archives//html/Topband/2000-12/msg00119.html (7,102 bytes)
12. Topband: 160 antennas (score: 1): Author: w7my@yahoo.com (Greg Chartrand); Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2000 04:05:09 -0800 (PST); Bill, The K8RRH inverted U as I recall (after about 30 years ago) was close to your configuration. Fed at one end with coax and a ground radial system and terminated at the far end with another groun; /archives//html/Topband/2000-12/msg00124.html (8,411 bytes)
13. Topband: WIDEBAND NOISE (score: 1): Author: w7my@yahoo.com (Greg Chartrand); Date: Tue, 26 Dec 2000 20:18:14 -0800 (PST); I'm fighting a very similar problem at my QTH. In the process I have discovered two very nasty dimmer switches, a tv/vcr combo with a switching supply that screams when the tv is OFF, a high efficien; /archives//html/Topband/2000-12/msg00150.html (8,153 bytes)
14. Topband: Need advice: Hy-Tower on 160, and radials (score: 1): Author: w7my@yahoo.com (Greg Chartrand); Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2000 05:46:33 -0700 (PDT); The Hytower has one nasty problem on 160. If you run more than 200 watts with the recomended base loading coil arrangement, you will fry the insulators between the tower and the 50' whip. I exoect so; /archives//html/Topband/2000-09/msg00150.html (7,957 bytes)
15. Topband: Hygain Hytower (score: 1): Author: Greg Chartrand <w7my@yahoo.com>; Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2003 06:47:53 -0800 (PST); Greg, The Hytower is a great piece of metal for playing with variations of vertical and L configurations where space is at a premium. The original Hygain coil at the base was a disaster as ti flamed; /archives//html/Topband/2003-12/msg00196.html (9,952 bytes)
16. Topband: Stew Perry Rules ? (score: 1): Author: Greg Chartrand <w7my@yahoo.com>; Date: Sun, 28 Dec 2003 09:55:14 -0800 (PST); I find it ironic that spotting is not an accepted part of the Stew Perry Contest. Some of us recall Stew being the leader in state-of-the-art spotting in his time; i.e. his newsletter that he compose; /archives//html/Topband/2003-12/msg00239.html (8,771 bytes)
17. Re: Topband: Beverage Noise pickup (score: 1): Author: Greg Chartrand <w7my@yahoo.com>; Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2004 20:07:30 -0800 (PST); Actually this is not true. A non-shunt fed vertical (i.e. ungrounded) only needs a few pf to ground to initiate re-radiation. only one foot of coax connected to the vertical will cause it to make it; /archives//html/Topband/2004-01/msg00112.html (7,470 bytes)
18. Topband: JA's and other firsts on 160 (score: 1): Author: Greg Chartrand <w7my@yahoo.com>; Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2004 05:05:15 -0800 (PST); I can't resist to put my 2 cents in. I remember hearing Stew and a few others calling CQ DX every weekend. The local wisdom in the Chicago AM days was the guy was nuts; DX was working someone further; /archives//html/Topband/2004-01/msg00216.html (7,545 bytes)

I have been reluctant to delete the messages and will move them off soon because I'm running out of storage space in my Email account.

I would leave the KLM balun alone. The KLM balun works very well bu; /archives//html/Topband/2004-03/msg00304.html (7,439 bytes)
