I'll be in the 160 meter contest with my brand new: up in the air(sort of) 360' end feed/bent/slopping/cattycornered (and anything else it took to get it up) semi-long wire made from 6 conductor tele
Ok here is the boy scout question of the year. I have a logging program that gives me long path and short path degrees to the target stations call sign based on the call sign prefix and maiden head l
Try this link your lucky you have a compass I don't. http://www.satcure.co.uk/tech/compass.htm I have been trying to find a way for almost a year to figure true north (assuming that's what the loggin

Also since you wanting precise measurement for sat work I just found out from reading that Mag north changes all the time so you might want to use this link for more accurate readings and subsequent
This seems like a real good link for study of just the compass thing you asked about: http://www.scoutingresources.org.uk/compass_magvar.html 73 fer nw, Bob AD5VJ 10X# 37210, FP#-1141, SMIRK#-5177 ht
Hi Gordon: Well this one is probably an older one at least it looks like it. Has analogue meter read out and is model MFJ-949B Hope that helps. This tuner is rated at only 300W but it seems to tune j
Now what I would like to figure out is: (I guess ignorance is bliss) I had a wonderful surprise just now, I just made my first *ever* 6 mtr contact on the new antenna so it must work on 6 mtr also. A
Got it figured out and marked with two short poles. THANKS 73 fer nw, Bob AD5VJ 10X# 37210, FP#-1141, SMIRK#-5177 http://www.n5iet.com/ Code may be taking a back seat for now, but the pioneering spir
Some of you have been asking me about the "GEE-WIZ IT WORKS" Antenna I wrote the list about earlier. I had to check it this morning I was afraid it fell down - the band is TOTALLY SILENT except for a
Wind has "resultant force" it doesn't have "no force". The force it has is expressed mathematically as a resultant force of differential pressures which generate heating and therefore "work" and has
There is a schedule for anyone interested that ZS4PB has on TopBand at 0300Z on 1845 SSB with a North American Station. He will be listening for other calls after they make contact. 73 fer nw, Bob AD
Does anyone know all the factors that affect the angle of radiation from a horizontal dipole. Height being one of course, but are there others that raise or lower the angle and /or broaden or narrow
Hi Jim: Thanks for the reply you led me to this program since I cant afford the other one right now: Looks like this might work for now at least EMMCAP Modeling of wire structures 1. Wire structures
Got it and joined the list. This looks good, hope I can learn how to make a new file. I got the 4nec2 and it came with lots of antennas already done which I have played with on the printer and this w
Got VOACAP also thanks Looks like I just change the parameters in one of the models that came with VOACAP and then save it as a new file and it will be a "roll your own" after that. HFTA I haven't fo
I am trying to do an approximation. I am using NEC and am trying to look at my end feed wire but can not find an end feed wire in the models. Does anyone know which model I can use that would be best
Does a beverage have to be in a straight line or can it have 90's in it. this wire has one 90 and a couple of turns less than 90 It has no termination at the end and I have restructured it so I am no
I live in the country and don't have the money right now for *real* towers and antennas so I have to make due and make my own and get them as high as possible since I like low band dxing. Well I am n
