My recollection of Peter is almost identical to W8UVZ. He was also my first ZL, in the ARRL DX contest in 1953, on 80 meters. I was also running about 25 watts, to a crystal controlled modified comma

Something I've wondered about for some time: if daytime 160 beverages require only an amp having a 5 db noise figure or better, and nighttime 20 db or better, why do we need preamps at all? I would h

This would be true if you want to have an omnidirectional pattern. But if you want to favor any particular direction, maybe nice fat radials in the desired direction(s) would help to do so. Thanks fo

Suggestion, Carl. Put your 2n2222 4 miles away, and attach the FS meter to your vertical. Then when you add the radial, you don't need to go 4 miles to see the result. -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.cont

Carl, I don't know whether 1.5 wavelengths is far enough to be out of the near field or not. Probably someone else here on the reflector can answer that. I think that if your oscillator at your anten

Carl, the reason I mentioned the 20db or so polarization loss is that without that loss the power required from your 2n2222 is decreased by 100 times, for the same FS meter reading. If you have found
