Yup...plus there's the consideration of how big a tower on the "dark side" must be to phone home...to put it on topic. ;-) 73 de Lee, AA4GA _______________________________________________ ___________
Back 20-ish years ago I used to operate from W4WA. Ron had a full-size 1/4 wave made of Rohn 25, with a homemade insulator at 20'. He had 20-22 resonant radials (I don't recall the exact number) even
I wouldn't describe K2AV's signal in NorCal as "great" compared to other I can't either. But I have noticed K2AV's signal is one of the louder signals here in Georgia while listening on my inverted-L
Hi Dave, Do you have any model numbers or links for those Samsung monitors at Best Buy? 73 de Lee, AA4GA _______________________________________________ ______________________________________________
It's been a while since I used it....it ran fine on Snow Leopard, but as I recall, wouldn't run on the newer OSs. I haven't looked into it since...I'm using EZNEC on a Parallels VM. 73 de Lee, AA4GA
I have a pair of these that Im thinking of rebuilding. Does anyone have an EZ-NEC model of this antenna they wouldnt mind sharing? Many thanks! 73 de Lee, AA4GA ______________________________________
Speaking for myself only, for the past dozen years or so, I've used nothing but wire antennas: verticals, EFHW, ladder-line fed doublets, and coax-fed dipoles. I've worked a lot of stuff and been pre

K1DG has a presentation he's done for Contest University. Per his study over time, he estimates that a 1dB improvement in your station results in a 6% score increase in a contest. Now, I don't know h
Hi all... Does anyone know of a commercial stack-matching box (for 2 antennas) that will send the unselected antenna to another port? As in: I'm using the high antenna on radio A, and that makes the
Perfect, thanks N5ZC - that's simpler than what I'd envisioned doing in my mind and back-of-napkin scribbles. And I think the Microham product W4TV mentioned may be what I'd seen in the past, but it'

Hi all, Doing a search for TXM in the TowerTalk archives produces a single hit: an unanswered inquiry from Lloyd, KH6LC. I had never even heard of them until today. It looks like I could save a littl
