141. [TenTec] Open wire (score: 1)

My experience with open wire line only goes back to 1949 but it pretty well parallels N4LQ's. I don't want ladder line anywhere close to my shack, or my neighbors TV's and telephones. I don't know ho

How does a radiating feedline cause TVI? That depends on the individual case, but... In my case a radiating feedline about 20 feet from the local CATV system's cable put enough energy into the CATV s

Hi Larry: by all means keep the 238 and get the Orion. Always remember that any competent interior decorator will tell you to never, not ever, buy matching furniture for a high class room. "All that

Robert, can you hook your Omni up to an Astron, get the battery out of your truck, or something? I had that problem, and found just a leeeetle bit of RF was getting into the power supply and shutting

Agreed, a really good ground is not all that expensive. While I have built and used several ground fields I to work a couple of them over after lightning strikes. So I do it a little differently nowa

Hmm, sounds like a high SWR situation. With a Thunderbird, assuming proper assembly, your actual SWR should be very low. Your 238 should be in bypass, with the Z knob straight up and the tuner out of

Stuart, you are at least as dogmatic as the professor who made me decide I didn't care for an academic life. I fear you are getting old, young man. An experiment to prove or disprove my statements is

Author: AC5E@aol.com (AC5E@aol.com)

Faraday rotation causes radio signals to "rotate" from horizontally polarized to vertical and back, more or less continuously. Particularly over a multi-hop path. Therefore it's not uncommon to find

Billy, the "it ain't polarized after it's reflected" is another "old hams tale." The literature does not support that fable, nor does practical experience. You will find many signals that are too wea

It's not how low a frequency, it's how high. "Faraday rotation" describes a more or less steady rotation of a radio wave's E (and H) field as that wave is propagated. Faraday rotation is a result of

Gyro rotation, first described by Micheal Faraday, is clearly described in almost any standard radio engineering textbook. To quote from Terman's Radio Engineers Handbook, 1943 edition: Page 711, fir
