Hi Tom and all... I got the new QEX yesterday, and -- with excellent timing -- Zack Lau W1VT has published some of the same balun experiments that Tom has been working on. The results are essentially

Mark and all, This waveform is, as Tom notes, a classic example of shaping with an R-C time constant. The leading edge will not likely cause clicks, but at the turn-off point on the trailing edge the

Pete, Check the ratings for the device itself, plus the design of the preamp. In general, higher voltage will result in higher quiescent current and better strong signal handling, but it might increa

Osten, There are many variable factors that affect receiving antennas. At one past QTH, there was so much local noise that nothing helped -- I tried a coaxial loop and a EWE with no improvement over
