This sounds like a really good idea. It should be much easier to establish receivers in interesting locations than transmitting stations. One small matter is access to the internet, but I think that
The T loaded will perform very similarly to the L loaded vertical in the vertical component is about the same and the T and L are about the same length -- one centered and the other offset. Generally
Jeez, I am just reacting to the thought of 260 feet of top loading on a vertical. It almost seems as though one is using a single wire feed line to feed an horizontal antenna. I may have to get out m
Just being a bit defensive, probably without need, I would like to assure the folks commenting on this topic that I did intend to say 'feed point impedance' and did not mean 'radiation resistance' in
Hal, if you can locate your small lot at a low latitude and relatively close to an ocean coastline you will find that the small lot will not prevent low band success. Tod, KOTO I've always wanted to
When we are using these cores for receiving, why don't we simply use latching relays --I do. A single, short, relatively high (40 ma) pulse is enough to switch the relay state and after that little o
Rick, nice to work you in SS. I find that the switching is essentially as fast as using the conventional relays (for my setup). I have SPDT switches for the relay and the switch selects between a pos
I was operating from Eastern Idaho (near Idaho Falls). My observation was that conditions were quite good on Friday night -- as long as you wanted to work people west of a line along the East Slope o
Just what is it that you think you/we want? (USA readers). I am quite comfortable about going to my Director and suggesting things, but I don't see there is a specific list from which to select items
Don: Thanks for the 'fill' on the missing piece of 160 meters. I have been a ham for over 50 years, but still think of myself as a "newbie" with respect to 160. Tom's remark makes more sense when I k
Sinisa: I have found your reflector comments useful and interesting. You said, ".. No, it cannot be fixed this way. This will only ensure that constant power is delivered to the external attenuator,
Sinisa: I think this summarizes things to this point: The following generated a couple of questions. The first question is directed to the last paragraph. I had the impression that the reflected wave
What in the world is this all about? Tod, KØTO _______________________________________________ Topband mailing list Topband@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/topband
