I have been using a large EWE Loop (K9AY is a derivative of EWE) for 18 months and can confirm Cardioid directional pattern and low noise performance. 73s Laurie.
Hi John and all, Alans report on CFH last night indicates that there was a period between 0200 and 0400 when T/A signals should get through. So I will run the beacon tonight from 2300 utc on 135.922.
Steve, It seems to me that the current difference can only be due to 1) Radiation from the coil (unlikely) 2)LOSSY capacitance from the coil/feeder to surroundings. I found that my Ant. current varie
Thanks John for the report. Looks like we can make it across in less than ideal conditions. I will give it a rest for a few days and then try again. 73s Laurie.
Many thanks Uwe for the nice pic. I was running with very long gaps 25secs, total element length 60 secs. Looks like SpecLab does a better job separating the elements than ARGO or mebbe I hav'nt got
Hi Tom, Grounding is the big problem at LF as I am sure you know.Radial systems that would be effective on 40, 80,or even 160 are impossible (100 X quarter wavelength makes the mind boggle)Ground pen
Hi John,Jim, Alan,and all, Beacon ran fine last night, from 0000 to 0400 no fires! Alan reports fairly quiet conditions,so lets hope some copy over there. Will run again tonight, might as well catch
Hi John,Jim and all, I think that Solar conditions are now as good as they are going to get for a while,so I would like to try the beacon again for 2/3 nights.John will you be able to "look" starting
Hi John, I hope to have my TX operational again by next weekend,so if you will have a recieve capability I will try to join Jim with some transmissions.Hopefully the present high Sunspot No's. will h
Hi Tom and Jim, I can contribute to this discussion. I terminate all wires at least 2M from any leaves etc and notice no change when they are wet or dry,also no difference when the trees came into le
Hi Paul, I think you have a very good situation there with your 130 ft tower and tall trees.I should not atempt to feed the tower ,but use it as a support for an "L" shaped ant. with one or more top
In a recent mail Mal said that he was not surprised that my sigs were heard/seen in Canada, and that all that is required is a high/ long Ant and 1-5W ERP. This is quite true but I should like to poi
Hi All, I have just dismantled the B and K 1000 watt amp that failed the other night. I found a 2X2 inch area of the PCB completely burnt out ! including all the components in the output filter and r
