The semester's winding down, and I have a little time, so I think I'll jump in here. How is this for a distinction between "RF" and "AF"? A signal is considered to be RF if it must be downconverted

Ronnie, One other thing you can do that hasn't been mentioned is to operate in any major CW contest. I say "major" contest because that kind will offer the chance for you to go from QSO to QSO with l
Mike, For in-ground radials you don't need to worry about getting the lengths exactly right. As someone else said, the longer the better, but if you have settled on 1/4 wave (free space length) as a
And once again, the question of 30x 1/4 vs 60x 1/8 wavelength radials remains unanswered. I find that to be a very interesting and practical question. In all of my reading in the past, including W6SA
Interesting timing...I was just thinking in the last couple of days that a few people on this reflector could stand to eat more ketchup. 73, Dave NB4J _______________________________________________
Sounds like a great idea to me. It makes the folks who want computer and/or remote operation happy, yet the standalone radio with knobs is there for those who prefer a more tactile experience. If I h
I think it has something to do with changing the antenna's "asS-Parameters." 73, Dave NB4J kicking" :-) :-) _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com h
All good information, but one minor correction is needed. The lowest molecular resonance of liquid water (or at least distilled water at room temperature and standard atmospheric pressure) is around
Jerry makes some good points about taking care when using NEC. I have a few comments to add, interspersed below. The improvement in accuracy followed by degradation as the number of segments increase
Dear Steve and Jerry, I think I might not have been clear in my original post about the 3 dB gain "error" in NEC. The moment method codes like NEC, EZNEC, Mininec, and all of their variants are calcu
I have been inactive for about 15 years, and during that time my equipment (including a lot of Ten-Tec rigs) has been off and in storage. It's been in a climate controlled closet, so there should be
There used to be some hams who sold foreign postage for outgoing SASEs. The two I remember are James Mackey K3FN and Bill Plum. Mackey's web site is at http://www.airmailpostage.com/, but it doesn't
I'm inspired now to develop my idea for the Extended Double-Schlep, the go-anywhere portable antenna! Thanks for the April Fools Day laugh. 73, Dave ND3K 73, AA2PM, Paul Mondok Before printing this d
