To all: Lots of balun discussion over the years. I wanted to try and build a W1JR type balun. I have the toroids, that was the easy part, but could anybody tell me a source located west of the Missis
Mike and all, Yes, and it works great in the soil here in the K.C. area. The Black & Decker Edge hog has a slicer function that makes a nice clean slit in the sod which is about 2" deep. I used one t
Gentlemen, I have been looking at the big steppir vertical, which appears to be a pretty nice antenna, especially if used over a large bed of radials. This antenna seems to have possibilities for 80m
