I think you have figured it out. It is very likely a electric fence charging system. W1RFI at ARRL could help I think. Dan/W4NTI (40 - 50hz) that is picked up by a K9AY loop? The noise is more pronou
Since the ALABAMA Contest Group is still not "approved" at ARRL I changed my submission to the SECC. It ain't much, but hope it helps. Dan/W4NTI ARRL 160-Meter Contest Call: W4NTI Operator(s): W4NTI
Great idea, wonderful plan. However I think youv'e been down under too long. Stateside acting like good hams with a give away license? I have my doubts. But your right, something needs to be done. My
ARRL never supported NO CODE. In fact they requested FCC to KEEP some CW, at LEAST the 5WPM for the Extra. And prior to that they NEVER asked for such a large expansion of the 80 meter phone band. An

I think all things considered, i.e. location, sunspot cycle, etc....that 40 and 20 will be about it this year. 40 should really' be outstanding IF we have room to do CW in. 160 has a major problem wi
About all I managed to get up this year was a 75/80 meter crossed dipole deal. I just cut two inverted V's, one high and one low and I get a great SWR of 1.5 very low and 1.5 very high. Thus I can do
Here is the copy of the 160 Experiment for those that don't take the ARRL bulletins. I was NOT aware of the time involved when this original happened happened. I'm not a 160 expert by any means, but
Me too. I'm physically handicapped and have a lot of trouble sitting and operating any length of time. Guess I'm dead wood too. And of course being in Alabama, I don't contribute anything of value. D
The Canadians are going to less then thrilled when the "bubbas" move into "their space". I haven't operated that far down in the band on phone since I was in Germany. Gonna be like old times in the 7
I think a LOT of you guys out there remember when twenty meters was moved from 14.2 to 14.150....back in the 80s as I recall. I was on that particular time and the South Americans went nuts yelling w
