I have to disagree with you. Standard 2 conductor plus ground Romex has a black, white and bare wire. The black is hot, the white is neutral and the bare is ground, when hooked up as a 110v line. Whe
I disagree. Some breakers are made to either add the bar to make them 2 pole or to remove a bar to make them two single pole breakers. I would like to see in the NEC where you need 3 wire plus ground
A few months ago I filled out the paperwork on Cushcraft's web site for parts info. No answer yet. Thursday afternoon I faxed a request for pricing and delivery for traps for my A3WS. Maybe I will he

I was asked to pull a message on this reflector that had to do with 160-10m receiver preamps because it was not in line with what this reflector is about. When I see several messages like the one bel
Hi Lyn, I am using an Ameco PCL-P nuvistor preamp. It works fine. I also have a Palomar P-310X preamp. Not very happy with it. Lots of noise gain, but not as much signal gain. I replaced the fet with
Don't have much property here either. The longest beverages I could fit ranged from 220' to 310'. Definitely not long enough. Over a season I compared these beverages to ewes. The ewes were 15' high

I am still using an Ameco PCL-P nuvistor preamp. Also have a Palomar P-310X preamp. After changing the fet with a SK3050 and adding a ferrite bead on the gate, it became more useable. Now it is almos
Hi Stew. Here is what I did. I have 3 ewes that are 15' high X 38' long. I feed each end with a box at each end that houses a relay, terminating resistor and a 9:1 transformer. I feed 12v through the
Presently I have a 4 square based on the article in section 6.3 of ON4UN's Low Band Dxing, 2nd edition. I have 4 posts with a vertical wire from each pulled up to the top of the 80' tower. I am using
If you want more gain, ADD MORE RADIALS ! de Tom N4KG ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail. Get comple
Tony, Only one radial per vertical is killing your gain. You should have at least four radials per vertical if in a ground plane configuration. if ground mounted then mo' wire = mo' better--just do n
Hi Tony, AV80 I'd bet money your Cushcraft vertical, using only four radials, is several dB weaker than it could be with a good ground system. It is not surprising the 4 square only has about the sam
Tony, I am using the same antenna here. I have had confidence that this one seems to be working. I say "seems" because the only thing I have to compare it too is a 1/4 wave sloper and comparisons wit
I have a four square with Tee tops off my 108 ft tower on 80. I currently have 6 elevated radials on each. at one point I had one on each, similar to yours. while it made it nice to tune the antenna
Hello fellow 80 M 4 SQ. user, Will describe mine and give you some performance numbers. I was considering changing over to something you are describing, but after speaking with Jack, W1WEF who has do
Tony; Ur post forwarded to us. For starters; without modeling, it sounds as i fthe verticals are coupling to the tower at 80'; a bit too low for connection. We suggest the Tee Top Vertical config: cu

I will be tilting over the tower to replace the boom with a 2" x .125" x 24' piece of aluminum tubing. This will add a few more feet separation as I won't be using the strut anymore. This has seemed
