RFS LCF 7/8 cable is great stuff. I bought the last I used about 3 years back for 1.92/ft new. It's now 2.12/ft from tessco. Connectors are like $25/each for N male. I truly don't see the point in bu
I have a heatpump mini-split installed in my spare room. I've seen no interference. -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice http://bryanfields.net _______________________________________________ _______
Tessco. RFS is like a dollar per food, andrew is about 1.50. For 300, why even mess with used cable? -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice http://bryanfields.net ______________________________________
What does WWV/H provide that's not better provided by multiple new redundant systems? Time is able to be provided by NTP over the public internet to within 10 ms. 1588 can get this down to the sub mi

I simply can't think of a more worthless pursuit in ham radio than contesting. Even showed up to field day to get a 5.9 GHz radio link going, and found out they can't count it as a "contact" for poin
Please use paragraphs. The RFS connectors are only compatible with RFS cable. There's about a 5-10 mil difference between the RFS/Comscope/Eupen cables dimensions. -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voic
You're asking to transform an email list into a forum. This dramatically changes the content and discourse, effecting the S/N ratio. Email is great as it allows well thought out and reasoned messages
With mailman it's quite obvious that it's happening, as anyone moderated will get an email and/or see the delay in the post. It's also very difficult to edit a moderated message before it's released.
I found it was much easier to use some silver solder and a torch to attach the some silver solder in the connection, and it's solid. It does take some time to learn the technique, but if you have a s
What sort of tower is this? Ground rings matter in wide towers. In a small ham tower, it's a nice idea, but not going to buy you all that much, but it's still a nice to have. Per R56 and the TIA stan
Yes, they work well. Ensure it's calibrated every time you use it. You should ensure it's not measuring a loop, that will give errors. Single point or off a master ground bar feed is the right place
Cut it and reterminate it. SWR doesn't always matter when the coax is long, 200' of LMR400 on 440 is about 6 db of loss, and that makes for 12 db of return loss, or ~1.6:1 VSWR. You could leave the c
AXIS Q6128-E, but you need to ensure the tower is rigid. We have one on our building and you can see it move around a bit when the winds blowing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XjfZ7i7lQc 73's -- B
The basic premise is that certain things are traded in Chicago, mostly derivatives and futures, but the industries relying on these are traded in NY (NJ). Say you're tracking lean pork futures and th
It's different cable, and there are many different connectors. Calling it "Andrew" likely means it's not a newer commscope self flaring connector variant and I've seen these "work" but they will wigg
