The antenna he is referring to is an extended double zepp.It has a little gain over a dipole.The loop would be a nice choice. I have one in my attic. The total length of the loop is 19 feet 8 inches,

I have used one for several years. I also have the original Hy-Gain book. Somewhere I have the 64B info. I have one of the 66B's that was shortened to a 64B. If anyone has that info, I would apprecia
I have paperwork on both, and the Hy-Gain has the older date of design,FWIW. I had a Telrex which, surprisingly, was not as rigid as the Hy-Gain.But I do wish I had a manual on the old Telrex Spiral

I didn't think about the snowat that location this time of year. I guess it will be June then. Not sure of what I will do for the contest in January. Depends on the weather down here(we DO get snow e
Mark, the best start is looking at Dan Evans(N9RLA) Rover web site. He has lots of info. I will be looking for you in several of those grids. 73, Joe W4AAB -- Original Message -- From: "Mark" <imok1@
Just signed up on list. Am QRV on 6m only from home, but can go mobile on 6 and 2 CW/SSB. Am trying to get back on the contesting scene on VHF. Always like to hand out rare grids from this area.Anyon
I will probably be out of town for a football game for that 6m Sprint, but as it gets cooler, I will be on VHF bands more. To the station in DM05 that responded to me(didn't remember the call), I hav
Saw a post by Bill,AA6TT. I remember the signal he put out with the stacked 6m beams @200'. Was wondering if the group is aware of any VHF/UHF amateur station using a tower taller than 200'. The tall
Thanks to all who replied to my post per tall antennas. AA6TT told me that W8JI and KC1XX had permission from the FAA to put up towers taller than 200'. In matters of being a threat to safety of airp

I would suggest Six Meters, The Magic Band by WB2AMU from Worldradio. N6CL had a book published through CQ a few years ago, as did W3EP at ARRL. Joe W4AAB -- Original Message -- From: "Donald M. Ross
The guys in EM64 (AB4KK, et al) have been using 50.680(corresponds to 28.680 which is the 10m SSTV frequency. Joe W4AAB EM65 -- Original Message -- From: <Qrpvhf@aol.com> To: <vhfcontesting@contestin
I have a copy of a copy I can mail of the 64B. Basically, the T-match is using the driven element as a folded dipole with a half-wave coax balun(80 inches long) to transform the impedance from 200 oh
I forgot to mention, the coax used in the balun IS RG-11/U (75 ohms). Just found info on delta match on M1CCZ's web site. Joe W4AAB -- Original Message -- From: Joe Crawford To: Donald Huntington ; Q
I am restoring one at the present time. 5 watts in gives 100 watts.That is on 10.I am putting it on 6,. and need the coil info for 6m.I have the manual and it lists different plate coils for 6 and 10
A 30 meter dipole or inverted Vee is 5 wavelengths long per leg on 6 metres, likewise 40 metres is 7 wavelengths per leg on 6. In addition to outside, I would put up a 6m loop in the attic. I use one
W4RXR and myself drove to Dayton this weekend.On the way back, we got official KY road maps. Radcliff is in EM77;Louisville is in EM78.EM76 starts down I-75 near Corbin,Ky. In September, we hope that
