Good Morning John
I just got home from the hospital, I don't like the 2:30 AM trips, it upsets
the wife. After talking with you the other day I felt you were on the way to
having fun with your Orion at the new QTH. I have read most of the answers to
your RF Feedback problem with your Drake Amp.
I have a friend in Lavonia, Mi. that also has the Orion and the Drake Amp. Ron
is also on the second floor of his house and runs the amp all the time on 40
meters, I will send you a e-mail with his e-mail address so you can talk with
him.
The one thing that I have not found in the answers you have received is the
fact you are using open wire feed line to tune the 102 foot antenna for all
bands. I feel you have a voltage nod at your tuner and radio. Ron had this
problem and did play with the feed line, making it longer or shorter and moved
the voltage nod the the outside of the Radio Room wall.
One orf the reasons I never had the RF Feedback problem with my Orion is the
because my antenna's are around 200 foot away for the Radio Room. I also bury
the coax the whole way to the shack.
I do not have your e-mail address, if you will send me an e-mail I will returen
it with Ron's address. You may know Ron also as he and I talk on 7.178 when
the band is open between us.
