I have pointed out in the past on TT the ad copy alone raises a red flag on this device- ...not surprised by the questions regarding the manual. From what I've been able to read on various reviews, i
On small lots, I have to differ here and suggest going with a vertical with a decent radial system. Even if the radials have to be short, and/or go off in various directions, the angle of radiation w
Can anyone direct me to a decent VHF/UHF Television antenna company- the ratshack antennas I use up here last about a year...looking to stack a decent system to catch VHF/UHF openings and I need some
The only PL259's that I can find that don't fall apart are the so called silver plated yellow packaged PL259's at radio shack that cost around $4.00 each- Avoid the blue packaged 259's thsat come in
I have a 75 foot tower that I have stacked the T6 logs upon using the WX0B stack match. The first antenna is on a rotor at 75 feet, the second is at 42 feet and fixed on EU. The antennas have worked
When I first got licensed in 1995, I worked a number of low band countries using ground mounted multiband verticals (cushcraft AP8A and Butternut HV2V) sitting on compact ground systems consisiting o
In building a 1/2 wave dipole 4 SQR 40 meter array, the answer to this question was critical in my understanding of why the positive side of the dipole went up and why the distance between the tops o
This is a follow up to my posting earlier this week in which I felt I improved my 80 meter 1/4 wave vertical arrays performance by using offset verticals vs one's more perfectly matched in an earlier
I recently completed putting up a stack of Tennadyne T6 log periodics on a 75 foot Rohn tower. The first antenna is on a rotor at 75 feet and the second antenna is at 42 feet fixed at 30 degrees towa
I just got an email today from EA4DX, Roberto, who just completed an amazing DXpedition to H40 and H44. I asked him what he was using for his 40/80 meter antenna I was fortunate to work him on. He in
Look in ON4UN's Low Band DX'ing third edition, at the time of print, you will see a number of world class low banders exclusively using and doing wonders with the HF2V's on 80 meters...........listed

Last night, I mentioned in reply to N4KG's response to my listing of accomplished Butternut HF2V'ers that I thought the Butternut could beat any three foot top loaded antenna. I got data of the anten
David, Amidon makes a very effective tool to match the impedance of 50 ohm coax to a variety of possibilities of do it yourself antennas. Their W2FMI UNUN (UNbalanced to UNbalanced transformer) model
Now on my 4th rebuild of the 80 meter 4SQR aluminum 1/4 vertical array, I have come across a very interesting means to increase the operating bandwidth without major adjustments to the vertical anten
The 80 meter verticals I have described in past postings are easy enough for me to install by myself with the use of a ladder...they hold up real well in high wind. It has only been EXTREME winter wx
I use the gray "rigid" PVC found in any hardware store's plumbing section for mounting my ground mounted verticals on- I sit the verticals with 2 1/8 diameter aluminum on the 1 1/2 inch gray PVC stuf
Dave, Do some research on those with the most to say about something in a negative way and you'll find that this little core group of TT junkies are either MFJ stock holders and/or sub contracted MFJ
Hello all Guessing that covenants and RFI control will be the most likely topics, perhaps misleading advertising about certain products can be discussed, like the ad in the brand new HRO 2001 summer
If you don't mind your low band antennas picking up the AC going along the coax to control relay switching- the RCS4 is great- My first RCS4 smoked as soon as I plugged it in, and the second created
