Greetings... I followed the instuctions in Bill T's earlier message. Had no problem filing my comments and getting a confirmation. I just went into the ARRL website and listened to the BPL test resul

Topband DX propagation has been almost nil here in Iowa this year. Only heard a handful of the faithful from JA and EU so far this season. Tonight, however, I worked S92SS with big signals. He was pe

Here in Iowa, the famed "peak at sunrise" is not the normal occurrence...maybe one day in seven do I see any appreciable enhancement due to sunrise. The usual enhancement amounts to only a couple of

Topbanders... I was spotted last night. A ham friend here in town (who was not participating in the SP) spotted me, I'm sure thinking he was doing me a favor. Not a big deal...and there is no way of

Condx last night here in Iowa were just plain pitiful. I couldn't even hear ON4UN on the receive antennas...couldn't even tell he was there! Oh well, I enjoyed myself anyway. 73...Dave W0FLS

It's easy enough to measure the degree of coupling between beverage and TX antennas with a common signal generator. My experience in a quiet location with an elevated feed quarter wave vertical with

VK9ML was on 1826.3 (listening up 3) again this morning. Springtime storms made copy almost impossible here in Iowa. However, between static crashes, the signal was there. I didn't hear many callers.

I feel very fortunate to have managed a qso on topband. It took a fair amount of effort. Both Friday and Saturday morning last week I thought I possibly had a good qso, but no cigar. Finally, Monday

I agree with Pete. In this class, you can't expect the sub-rx to do everything. Besides, in my own application, the only thing I ever really use the sub-rx for in my 1000mp is for finding the DX list

Last evening was an exercise in frustration...seemed like people both east and west of me (I'm in Iowa) were hearing the 5u1 on topband but only faint whispers and an occasional letter or two here. A

Topbanders... I became intrigued with W8JI's design for a short four square receiving array during his presentation last year at Dayton. This year, I lost my usual space for my 2-wire beverages. I wa

Group: I believe Tom's current design does not require vector voltmeters or other sophisticated equipment to get good results. When I said it is "easy" to build, I meant just that. Just follow the di

Key clicks are probably the single worst problem we have with new radios. Having just completed operating the NAQP contest, I can safely say that the problem is worse than ever. Fifteen or 20 years a

While it's nice to help solve the NB overload and clicks problems on the receive side, it's the lack of engineering attention to the transmit side that really has me concerned. Too bad we can't get s

Key clicks are an ever increasing problem. Fifteen years ago they were almost non-existant. The significance of this problem will surely manifest itself in the upcoming contest this weekend. I agree

I recently did some extensive testing on my short receive only 4 square that I've been working on. In the process, I did some calibration of the FT1000MP S meter. I was a bit startled to see the resu
