Hello to the group I'm a newbie to 160 having only participated in various contests over the course of the last two years. I used an 80 meter aluminum tube vertical with a Reyco trap affixed to the t

I cannot get the inverted L to provide a dip on my MFJ 259 analyzer anywhere in the 160 meter band. I get dips at 8.2 MHz (R=36 ohms X=0) with reactance on each side of X=0. At 5 MHz R=40 ohms X=0 wi

You might be dealing with AM BCB being detected by the meter - and masking what you are looking for. _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband

You might be dealing with AM BCB being detected by the meter - and masking what you are looking for. No, because he gets a dip to zero reactance. If that happens anywhere, there is no BCI. 73 Tom ___

Thanks for this tidbit of information. As soon as this white manure melts (some people call it snow) I will do a re-check on my shunt fed tower. I think I did have at least one dip to zero and never

Tom <<Maybe you saw my post where I stated that the MFJ plunged to a minimum reading of 4 0hms at 1825? Does this reading mean that the L is near ground potential and 'in union' with the grounded Sky

To my amazement, a 5000-watt AM station on 1550 KHz 5 miles away is enough to clobber my MFJ-259's usefulness during the day. Fortunately they drop to 6 watts at local sundown (what do you suppose th

Thanks to all who responded to my post I will consider all of the ideas that were presented including improving the ground radials. That's a given. I have an ICE broadcast filter for RX...can this be

Sorry I sent the last post by accident. To the point what I'm seeing is a resonance OF THE TOP WIRE ONLY. This explains why my MFJ reads R=4 ohms at 1820...it's grounding or shunting the whole vertic

Chet Tom's right. I get a clear dip at 8 MHz with X=0 and 5 MHz with X=0, both with good indications of varying reactance on both sides of the resonant freg. I'll give his suggestion of 129' length a

When using a gamma match you are usually going up on the tower beyond the 50 ohm point. From that point down the gamma rod and the tower is acting like a parallel wire transmission rod, transforming

Herb, you can feed any number of bands through one gamma arm or wire as long as the highest frequency to be used is less than 1/4 wave length on the gamma arm or wire. The appropriate matching is sti
