Sorry about that, I went to bed without testing the link and forgot about the subscription process. I hope everyone has the correct info now. Any questions send me a direct email. Carl KM1H _________
I regularly copy the LF BCB from EU/AF and the Mideast down around 200KHz when skywave is good. Granted they run super QRO but they have poor ground efficiency and are meant for country coverage only
Its a comedy of errors as besides my goof the W5JKV link is 2 years out of date. Ken manually fixed several subscriptions and this is the proper link http://w7ekb.com/mailman/listinfo/600mrg_w7ekb.co
Absolutely! Switching multiple RX antennas is always a major headache. Ive been scratching my head so long trying to figure out how to handle 3 hubs Ive worn down my fingers since the skull is so thi
Ive said several times that my 500' BOG's dont need a preamp. The signal level may be 5-6dB lower than the elevated ones in the same direction but thats more likely due to signal angle. One or two on

I went with the 2 BOG's stricty because of noise crud from yuppie neighbors in line with the SE and SW elevated 2 wire reversibles. When they shut off their toys and go to bed the elevated ones are b
Two winters ago I had insulated #10 stranded chewed completely thru in a few places and all concentrated in a 100' area. Spliced and soldered and it hasnt happened since. Lots of deer and other critt
I dont find WD-1A or WF-16/U to be lossy at all when properly terminated at both ends. Thats what is used here for the 5 reversibles and a reversible BOG will be tried soon. Carl KM1H _______________
Its very easy to match when using the BN73-202 if you use half turn steps when needed and use an antenna bridge to confirm since ferrite Al values have a wide tolerance. And with a low impedance line
Gary, the coyotes you and I grew up with were the stadium cheerleaders between Valley Stream Central and North. Boy, they were worse than the guys! Carl ______________________________________________
There is a major difference between a resonant antenna and a one wire transmission line whose sole purpose in life is to be unbalanced in respect to ground. Trying to compare them doesnt work well an
But you want it insulated. Id suggest #18 Copperweld with a PVC lacket. A PITA to unravel and hold in place but should be up to the task. Carl KM1H _______________________________________________ UR
I bet 240VAC on a long run of 2 conductor junk wire would reduce the critter population. Question...how long before an area is cleaned out and is their a racial memory such as chipmunks have for trap

In the 50's as a HS student I worked many 160M AM mobiles out to 20 miles or so and they worked each other out to about 10 miles unless they were along the salt water area roads and then they were mu

That makes absolutely no sense when at the edge of reception. Carl KM1H QRPers generally do not need Beverages as much as other stations do. Think about that one for awhile. jim / W1FMR -- On Mon, 3/
