It was fun! I was putting LEGOs together with my son so didn't start
until 0227Z. Started on 40 but kept getting beat out so went to 80 early and
just stayed there. Shooting for 100 but not quite. Some LOUD sigs out there.
N2IC on 40 and almost everyone east of W7/6-land on 80. Happy New Year to all
and hope to hear some of you work my son and daughter on the Kid's Kontest.

You can do a lot at the station end to get rid of this type of
interference without bothering the TV set's owner. Just put your 80
meter antenna up at 140 feet like I did -- bingo, no more ITV!
When he complains about your unsightly tower, tell him you had to do that
in order to get your antenna away from the interference his set was
radiating...

Sorry for the delay but the holiday season had me swamped. This is the
final posting for this contest.
This is the first 160 Meter contest I have done. From reading QST these
are the classes that are used. If you do not put a class, you will be
put in Single HP/Un. Let me know of any corrections. When you see the
number in between Sect and DX, that means whoever submitted the score
added together their multis.

126 QSOs for me. Got off to a slow start...QSO #1 at 0202 after being beat
out three or four times, which was a common theme through the two hours.
With the increased participation, getting beat is the norm rather than
the exception. (Oh no, the sprINT is like a REAL contest now. *sigh*)
Skip was a little too short. 4s and 5s loud, West Coast and New England weak.
There was a lot more 4/5 land activity this time. The Mexican (or whatever)
SSB crud was a real pain in the rear too. As usual, got trounced on 80,
only making 12 QSOs in the last 16 minutes, and they were painful.
Oh and a big AMEN to KM9P's admonition about getting the callsign sequence
right...one loud station in particular had me calling him left and right
while he was in the middle of a QSO...sheesh
And I was wondering how WX9E got from TX to GA to IL so fast, thought
he had hijacked the Concorde or something ;)
Happy New Year y'all,

I'm the log checker for CQWW RTTY DX Contest H.P.
Rodrigo Isola Tarikian, PU2LSR- sent a log for 21 MHz S.B. catagory,
his 5 1/4" floppy disk is bad. I have checked the '95 C.B., Buckmaster,
with on luck.. Does anyone have PU2LSR's e-mail or mailing address..
With as many logs as I have seen his call in, I'm sure he has a pretty
good score, it would be a dirty shame if I can't get in touch with him
to get another log sent to me.. We are 90% finished with log checking.
If anyone can help me find a way to get in touch PU2LSR it would be
greatly appreciated..

Working in the broadcast field as a consultant, I have never heard that
insulated wire works better than bare wire for radial purposes. We have
always used #10 soft drawn bare copper wire for the radial fields under AM
broadcast towers. Even in highly acidic soils, these radials last on the
average of 20-30 years.
Let' stop and think about this for a minute. The principal purpose of a
of a radial ground system is to provide a low resistance path for return
currents to the antenna system. Logic would seem to indicate that by
putting an insulator around the wire increases the resistance in the path
the return current must take to get back to the antenna from the surrounding
earth. The reactive component of the return current doesn't care about the
insulation as it can easily pass through the insulation to the wire in the
same fashion current flows through a capacitor. So my question is, why
put a very high resistance in the path for the return currents?
The only good reason that I can see for using insulated wire in lieu of bare
wire in a ground system is that it will last almost indefinately since the
wire will be protected from corrosive agents in the soil. One thing to keep
in mind though, if you live in a northern area where the ground freezes (as
I do) hard drawn wire will eventually break from the freezing and thawing
stress placed on it by the ground. That is why you should try and use a
soft drawn wire if at all possible. As for you guys using electric fence
wire (I use it too on some antennas 'cause it's cheap!), the stuff rusts out
in about 4 or 5 years. Then you gotta replace it. So use copper if you can.
This might make a fun research project for someone to present as a paper
in the antenna forum at Dayton!

Agreed. This should be part of the rules so that next year people
who, like me, who've never done a sprint, won't feel like so much of
an ass.
Here is the origin of the phrase "ground rule"
Back when baseball was not so "national", different teams would visit
a given field, and before the game started, they would tell the
visitors about how certain lumps in the infield would affect
"grounders". While these were locally-known conditions about the
ballfield (such as 'if you hit a grounder towards Joe's store, the
bounce is really bad'), out-of-towners wouldn't know about these bumps
or ridges, so they asked for a set of rules for grounders which of
course, would vary with the local field, hence the "ground rules".
See you next year.

heard you using my name, with those 100+ numbers. I'll see you next
year, and I won't have a 2-digit score this time.)

Subject: Phased trapped verticals
Message-ID: <00951229024200/0006627542NA4EM at MCIMAIL.COM>
Feliz ano 1996!
Does anybody here in this reflector have had an experience
using phased trap verticals in the low bands?
For example: Imagine you phase the trap vertical antennas for
40 mtrs obviously 1/4 wave apart and it works fine, but what
will happen if you try to use the antennas on other bands like
20 and 15 mtrs? Will having separation for 40 mtrs make the
antennas not worth the try on the other bands, or will they show any
significant improvement over a stand alone vertical on those bands?
You may wonder why im into this, when I have a station in the hills
at 2200 feet above sea level with yagis in everyband? Well its easy
Now I live in the middle of San Juan and dont want to mess with a big
tower in the middle of a nice residential area, but I do have space
for a couple of phased verticals. With the little 4BTV Ive been working
JA's in the morning on 40 mtrs with only 95 watts out of my omni 6
and everyone that has been in the caribbean can attest that JA is not
an easy path from here..
I heard in the last vertical gallop that the best true vertical around
(true=vertical with real radials,1/4wave) is the hf6v, Now, If I could
only phase two of those and.......
Happy New Year!!

Just part time as I had other plans fer evening.
Once I got into swing of it, was good fun.
Even if I cud figure out how to get my log onto this as an attachment it
wud be a total mess since my old version of NA didn't handle the format
too well- duped all the repeat Q's, added mult's, etc. So this post will
have to do it fer me.
