Hi All, I just did some reading in the archives, though I couldn't find anything that addressed my question: What are the important take off angles for Es, F2 etc? I am in the planning stage of putti
Hi Fred, QSL on the higher lobe... I was thinking that the 2nd lobe, typically in the 30-40 degree take off range, was where the Es angles were... I didn't realize they were generally low (I consider
I have even seen SWR changes and velocity factor changes at HF with non-Amphenol short barrel connectors, PL259's, T-connectors, and push-on PL259 connectors. I've made a lot of coax stubs for HF con
Any speculation on the cause of the SWR problems? Could the metal used be a problem? E.g. stainless steel is used in many antennas (and touted for it's strength), but it's a horrible conductor and is
To bend microwave semi-rigid mini aluminum coax, do I need a special tool or can I hand bend it? And is there a minimum bending radius? Many thanks, Kenny K2KW _______________________________________
The stuff I'm looking at is probably 1/8" stuff with SMA connectors. Fleamarket or Ebay, so it may not be obvious who the mfg is. I don't think the bends I need to do are "that" tight (right angle, b
This rule has been in the CQWW HF rules for some time. The intent was to stop people from using remote receivers or remote stations in ADDITION to their main station. 73, Kenny K2KW _________________

Does anyone know of a super light weight 6M antenna for a light weight DXpedtion? (hopefully it's OK to ask here) I'm thinking along the lines of a sub-5 lb class of antenna that might fit into lugga
Big pileup so far! I will answer some of the antenna suggestions later. Regarding radio's and honeymoons... I really appreciate your comments. That said, my wife, KD8GKM (General, soon to be extra) i
