Hello all:
First post here. Newbie on 160, and want to do things right the first
time (or at least avoid making some very time consuming bone-head
moves).
I have been reading "Low Band DX'ing" and want to put up a couple of
beverages for use on 160 and 80, but can't seem to find a source for the
Indiana General torroids which John recommends. Can anyone send me in
the right direction for a supplier?
Also, can you recommend another book or general reference material
applicable to Beverage antennae. I understand there was an excellent
booklet published by the FCC many years ago regarding the use of
Beverages at broadcast stations as a part of the CONELAD program. Would
gladly pay for copying costs if you could help me out. Thanks in
advance for the opportunity to learn a few key points from you fellows.
My limited experience on 160 last winter has me convinced that it truly
is a "Gentleman's Band" and the quality of QSO reminds me of what I used
to hear on 20 metres about 30 years ago. 73 de
