Hmmmmmmmm - Sounds like a good buy or three here and I probably would
bid on another 706 BUT.......wasn't this posted a little after the May
31, 1996 cutoff date? Or am I missing some subtle humor here?

Hello Loren,
We have returned after a most successful trip to Rarotonga. Thanks to
Kenwood and you it was a very enjoyable trip.
The PS-40 will be shipped to you very soon. It performed flawlessly,
powering all our 12vdc equipment. There was no trace of any switching noise
in any of the equipment. (this included an FT-900AT, Laptop PC, Timewave
DSP-59+, etc.) The power there was 240VAC 50HZ and the power supply never
gave us anything but the greatest performance we could expect.
The carry case is really neat. You should advertize it more! I carried the
radio and PC in this as carry-on baggage. It was comfortable to carry and
protected the equipment very well. The side pocket was handy for stuffing
the travel documents, passports, boarding passes, tickets, etc. and made
them readily available throughout our journey.
We are very grateful for your support and thank you very much for all you
and Kenwood have done for us. I have the logo disks, and will see to it that
the picture qsl cards have your logo on them.
I have made arrangements for lodging on Manihiki in the North Cooks as we
plan to return in November of '97 or '98 depending on finances to operate
CQWW DX CW and a lot of low band DX for a week. This will be part of a three
week trip, two weeks will be on Rarotonag again in the South Cooks. I have
received many requests to provide RTTY Q's on the next trip and this we will
do as well.
I hope you don't mind my copying this to the reflectors as you certainly
deserve to be recognized world wide for the support you so graciously and
generously provided.
Thanks again from the ZK1 team,
73,

Moe
For nearly 10 years the HF9V (actually HF6V in those days
+160M kit +12/17M Kit)was my only antenna. With the exception
of 160M I have over 200 countries on each of the other 8 bands. Two
years ago I finally moved to the country where I have 15 acres
and lots of tall trees. I now have lots of wire arrays and dipoles
up really high and they all out perform the The butternut which
is is still my all band backup antenna.
Overview by band.
160M: About as effecient as a "tree stump". Definitely a
compromise antenna" for this band. I did however work 3Y0PI on
160M SSB using the B'nut, good for local rag chews. 2:1 VSWR
Bandwidth is about 20KHZ. If you get more bandwidth than this
your ground system is no good!
80M: I have worked some pretty impressive DX on 80 and have
almost 250 countires here. I was never the first one through
in a pile up but I do get through. The Bandwidth on this band
with a good ground system is abouit 60KHZ. I used to mark the
antenna with electrical tape, run out and slide the coil up
and down depending on wheter I was working CW (3505) or SSB at
3795. Later I modofied the unit with a remotely operated vaccumn
variable cap instead of the fixed cap which allowed me to "tune"
the band. Comparing it to a full sized ground plane the full
sized vertical is about 1 sunit stronger.
40M: Definitely the B'Nut's best band. 2:1 bandwidth about 175Khz
30M: Works ok
20M: A three element tribander its not but you can work anything
you can hear on CW and about 1/2 of what you hear on SSB.
17M: The tunning of the antenna is a little tricky on this band
but not impossible.
15M: Again Tunning can be a little tricky here because you have to
resonate the decoupling stub as well as the length of the antenna itself.
12M: Works ok but see comments on 10 M
10M: Works Ok but not as good as a low dipole (8 meter high
dipole will generally out perfrom teh B'nut on this band and 12M).
Because of the small size and relative low heights if your serious
about 10 and 12 meters put up low dipoles instead.
The secret to doing anything with this antenna is a good ground system.
In general I always had better luck with it roof mounted and 4 resonant
radials for each band (36 all together). Since I lived in reneted housing
for many years I never was able to put down a really good ground system
when I ground mounted the antenna.The radials need not always be in a
straight line, but should NEVER cross over each other. I set a wooden
ence on fire once when running a KW on 80M and the 80 meter radial
arced to the 160M radial! My butternut is now mounted on top of a
5M high steel barn with a 10M x 15M steel roof with (no radials) it
plays as good or better than it vere did.
Hope everyone finds this of interest

I beg to differ. Is it not obvious that anyone who eats anchovies on pizza
has had their ment facilities so impaired as to not have proper judgement?
how then could they be a contester when they could not make the right
decision over such a momentous thing as anchovies? something minor like
S&P may be within their grasp, but the overall startegy of the contest? I
doubt it.
Besides is it not obvious that Mr. Walsh has an inate fear of the LaTex
Rookies? As such I can barely wonder that he also would like anchovies.

Sure sounds like you did good at ZK1! Also, Mike, Ken, and gang did good
from CY0AA, I worked them from two countries, home and VP5!
I could not agree with both of your comments more! What I found on low band
was the guys who, maybe using a memory keyer, sent their calls a regular
speed, over, and over, and over the same way and speed. It let me put the
fills in. The rhythm is what gets it filled in. The slow speed sending DOES
NOT make it thru for the weak signals! The 45 WPM usually doesn't either! {:^)
The fill sending of the whole call is wide spread, K8? K8? and the guy comes
back K8HKM K8HKM K8HKM, when what I needed over and over is HKM HKM HKM!
One IMPORTANT point that I would like to make here is, this applies to weak
signal reception, not when I respond to a partial in a contest pile up. So
often, I had grabbed out something like 8HKM and he only sends my report. If
you don't hear your full call send it! Send it ONLY ONCE. You probably just
got clobbered in the calling pileup, not a weak signal. So often, the chap
comes back with his call 2, 3 and even 4 times! Not needed! It slows your
rate, and mine down!
And folks, turn off the damned Break-In! I can tell it's distracting you! I
can work two of you at once, but you're distracted by my sending, keep
going! I have ya!

Hmm'
I think if you are going to be a purist on this you will need to go with
just pure anchovies. May I suggest a weekend diet of the Korean style of
anchovie? These are dehydrated then rehydrated and marinated in garlic and
hot peppers and then quickly fried up in peanut oil the result being Hot,
Salty, Oily and Boney

Hello there,
I have not read yet the article, but I cannot agree with some wrong
statements (or misinterpretations, I don't know):
> Among the highlights are the following bits of wisdom:

To radiate efficiently the antenna must be ELECTRICALLY resonant,
that doesn't mean necessarily to have a resonant length - loaded
antennas.

The radiation pattern is ALWAYS the same one both for transmitting and
for receiving, no matter good or bad antenna to line matching.
Reciprocity principle.

Main reasons for factor 468/492 = 0.95 scaling are:
1 - capacitive end effect
2 - elements diameter (tapering for aluminum tube Yagis)
Around 0.95 is usual for tube Yagis. For wire antennas uses to be
approx. 0.975-0.98. This factor is tabulated as function of
diameter, and for tapered tube Yagis can be computed with
existing software, usually based on MIT's NEC (Numerical Electric
Code) soft.
Yes, an antenna may change its resonating freq. with the height - that
additional factor will be defined by the surrounding ground electrical
parameters. The higher the antenna is, the higher may be its resonant
freq. I Remember mounting a 3 el 20 m Yagi in EA3VY - close to ground
was on 14.030 kHz, but at 22 m above ground went to 14.060 kHz. Antenna
height is a minor factor compared to 1- and 2-.

I DON'T THINK SO. If the feedline is cut to a multiple of 1/2 electrical
wavelength, you will have at the other end of the line an impedance very
close to the antenna impedance at the feedpoint. That's the only
difference.
A half wavelength feedline means just one turn around the Smith chart.
There is no need to cut the feedline this way. The antenna will work or
not work, regardless of line length (now I am not considering losses
neither on line's copper conductors nor in its dielectric). The important
thing is to match the antenna at its feedpoint, but not at the shack.

For reasons unknown, a copy of a May message about the sale of WRTC
donated equipment was circulated on the Internet DX Mailing List.
All of the equipment was sold in May, as the posting stated. Sorry that
for some reason it took until end of July to make it around the DX
List. Thanks for your interest. The repeat message was not posted at
my request, and all the other lists published the original in real time,
so guess DX List folks missed out.
Thanks for your interest in WRTC 96. It was a blast from here!

like to know if there are any Ham Stores/and or surplus stores in the city

Re the QSP from K6ZH alias G0WJF, someone kindly pointed out to me that
Lundy Island is nowhere near the Isle of Wight, so there is something
inconsistent in Jim's information. Anyway, the message is clear -
work him and say hello if you hear him, he'd probably be happy to hear
from reflectorites - I don't think he is going all-out to win the thing.
