Hello Timon, Pete's email reminds me of K3NA's excellent eight part series in NCJ from 2003-2005 describing Yagi performance degradations caused by multiple Yagis installed on the same tower and on m
Hi Kirk, Is there any possibility of publishing part 7 (Antennas Pointed in Opposite Directions - July 2005) and part 8 (40 and 15 meter Yagis - September 2005 of Eric's excellent eight part series i
Hi Randy, Sweepstakes' 150 watt (input power) low power category goes back many years, long before I was licensed in 1959. Field Day was the same. The ARRL DX contest probably adopted the same tradit
Hi Randy, High power bandpass filters are definitely NOT an appropriate solution to your 15 meter receiver overload problem. The optimum solution is probably a 200 watt W3NQN monoband bandpass filter
Hi Mike, Ocean front locations are very difficult to deal with, especially at higher latitudes where the difference between high and low tides can be extreme. Much better are large salt marsh sites s

Congratulations to the author of this classic Larson E. Rapp April 1st article! 73 Frank W3LPL -- Original Message -- A coincidence that this was released on April 1st... I think not... From Leroy Je
Hi Roger Its funny you should ask, just this morning I ordered my SSB Skimmer from Larsen E Rapp Enterprises, in Kippering-on-the-Charles, MA. Rapp himself took my order! I also purchased several aut
Juan, You've discovered an extremely unusual pattern in the TO7A public log that's very difficult to rationalize. Three of the 160 meter European QSOs in TO7A's log have public logs: ON4TO, UT5URW an
Something is really wrong with this TO7A public log. There are a few brief runs on 160 meters scattered through the log, and they're all very familiar calls to 160 meters operators. Then there's this
Hi Don, Your friend G3ZHL appears in the TO7A log four times! 73 Frank W3LPL -- Original Message -- Just for the record, G3ZHL is a good friend of mine and doesn't operate CW or 160m 73 Don G3XTT On

OE3V appears twice in the TO7A log but never in the CN2AA, 9K2HN, K3LR or W3LPL log... -- Original Message -- Wow what a mess..... I realy never expected that someone can do this! OE3V is btw callsig
Hi Felipe, Now that we all know how the 2014 TO7A log was padded with fake QSOs with stations who didn't send in their logs, the same pattern can probably now be found in the public log for TO7A's "2
Hi Mike, Exactly the same log padding technique is present the the 2013 and 2014 TO7A CQWW CW public logs. In both cases proven well beyond a reasonable doubt. Many of UT5UGR's logs are public, avail
Hi Jeff, The amazing aspect of Ut5UGR's cheat is that each of his public logs provides 100 percent of the information needed to detect a prove the cheat beyond a reasonable doubt. 73 Frank W3LPL Agre
Hi Doug, Please tell us more about your "Beverage system" that didn't help you much 73 Frank W3LPL A few years ago, soon after taking a serious interest in 160 meter activity, we were forced to admit
Hi Doug, Your system should be performing superbly, something is wrong. In my experience there's almost nothing you can do to cause a Beverage to not perform properly other than installing it over hi
