Back in the early 1950s (when I was much younger,) I visited Steve, K6EWL, and saw the power pole that his father Charlie (W6CN?) had installed. I believe it had a steel track along the side with the
My wife uses Tarn-X, which is available at markets and drugstores to clean copper nick-nacks without any scrubbing. It gets it quite shiny which should be adequate for tinning. ______________________
Does anyone have details on how the power companies handle their remote meter reading? Obviously the bandwidth requirements are not very high, particularly outside the time-of-use scenario. My power
One thing about the L-network is that it is either step-up or step-down, not both. Not too many antennas require both, however. A Pior T-network can be considered as two L-networks back-to-back, whic

I can think of a number of possible ways to accomplish this: 1. Two BigIRs back to back for each element. This might get expensive as it would require 2 stepper motors on each element. 2. A fixed ele

Thirdly, "Cuming" as in "Emerson and Cuming" has no "s" either. Emerson and Cuming had a number of products with "ecco" in the name. Their product line has changed quite a bit since I did business wi
WRONG! Ignoring cable losses, the VSWR is independent the length of the cable. What changes with length are the complex components of the impedance, while the absolute value (VSWR) remains constant.
I haven't run any experiments, but I'll concede that some methods of measuring VSWR are less than perfect, in which case that is a definite possibility. Bob, N7XY -- Bob Nielsen, N7XY n7xy (at) n7xy.
