I stand corrected, Joe. I just went through my emails with HiZ and my comment to this group was off the mark. I should have referred specifically to the HiZ 8 circl array 200 ft diameter. Here is the
Not necessarily waste. It costs the government more to sell it than it does to trash it. It would be sold at less than "new" value but the paperwork chain would cost a lot more. Best Regards Dan Scha
I had to replace the rotary inductor twice in my MFJ-989C because it was intermittent , not as a result of dirt or corrosion, but that the inductor had warped from heat. I had used it to tune a short
For what it's worth : I designed and built a multiband tower vertical for 40, 60, 80 and 160. Last night I worked VK9CZ Cocos Keeling, 11,000 miles on 40 CW. It is 1/2 wavelength on 40, 1/4 wave on 6
I posted earlier on this subject that I have a HyGain AV-640 which I really love. I just saw in the new HyGain/MFJ catalog today and they now have a HyGain AV-680 which covers all bands from 6 throug
I have 96 countries on 6 using a 4 element yagi at 28 ft. Only need a few islands in Caribbean and Bolivia in SA. I have worked JAs and FK8CP and New Zealand. When the prop is there, it is there. My
<<<Have you thought about a tribander with a duo-band 12/17 meter beam stacked above it? >>> That is exactly what I have, on top of a 30 ft tower and I have done extremely well in the Leaderboard on
Mike, I do not have water front property but I am on 280 feet of canal that goes out to the Gulf of Mexico via the Peace River and Charlotte Harbor. 1 acre ( house + 2 building lots or 2 antenna lots
Eric I have been using a rotatable K9AY Loop on a old HyGain Rotator. For high angle incoming signals, it is not too bad. I also use a 6 ft diameter coax tune loop. It is very very quiet. I can hear
For my K9AY loop, It was recommended to me by W8WWV to lay some radials on the ground, mostly to insure a consistent ground from wet season to dry season here in FL. So, I laid 15 radials @ 15 ft lon
The more important issue is overload of the receiver front end. It is wise to install a KD9SV Front End Saver if you are using a receiver that does not have relay disconnect during transmit. Best Reg
The HiZ clearly outperforms the K9AY loop and coax mag loop. Probably will also outperform the SAL. The HiZ 4 square and 4-8 Pro is a phased array and so removes noise from 3 of the 4 directions and
David, I know John W4NU. We both have the same HiZ system. I had to purchase the empty lot next to me to install mine whereas he had a deeper house lot and put his HiZ way back on his lot. Yes, if yo
N4IS in Miami uses a Waller Flag. It has -50 db gain or approximately. Therefore it needs lots of amplification. However, he DOES hear the DX on 160. Hears very well. Check his website http://qrz.com
Chet In your situation, I would not recommend the HiZ. Too much metal in the circle to mess up the pattern of the array. Believe me when I say that my 6 ft diameter tuned coax loop got me working int
Substantive BS ! Best Regards Dan Schaaf == K3ZXL www.k3zxl.com 60 Meters www.60metersonline.net == Heck, that's a lot more substantive than the sort of BS I get when I write my Congressperson. 73, P
I am presently in discussion ( argument ) with US Fish and Wildlife over property that I own that I want to build a retirement home on. They dispute an Environmental Survey that I paid to have done.
Hi Mark I do understand a lot about the FL SJ habits since I have been forced by this situation to learn about it. The interesting notes are that: 1) There are no scrub oaks within at least 1,000 ft.
Hi Mark Unfortunately, I am not aware of any appeal process. Both the surveyor and myself have had much email dialog with the people involved at FWS. Email, because I want incriminating evidence in w
ARRL has a broadband 80 meter dipole that was featured in QST. It is very very wide diameter cage instead of wire. I do not recall the bandwidth, but it was wide. As I understand, you can increase ba
