Mal, Do get on the 8kc band. You have lots of room for big antennas and might be the one to cross the pond. There are a couple NE USA stations working on their receive setups and they would be the on
Hi Stefan, How many turns should I wind for a primary side? 8 to 10 maybe? I was using a 48.4 milli-henry primary winding with the secondary at 4.2 henry. There are many primary windings on this tran
I vote for frying the neighbor's noisy electronics...hi hi Mike WE0H It seems that the whole discussion gets out of the hands now. We started to state that some serious power is necessary for 9kHz DX
I have my DDS VFO putting out a .7v p-p signal into the transformer with a and 25v p-p output on this TV transformer with a 8kc signal into it. It's 40/9 on my TS-930 with my transverter, but that is
Hi Rik, Dang, that is a serious arc. All my flyback transformers have a case around them with epoxy potting compound. They are out of computer monitor boards. I will look for an old TV chassis here a
We all started in tiny baby steps in life. It goes the same with successful radio experiments. Start out with small experiments and that can grow to larger experiments. You EU guys are the pioneers o
I found my 1986 TV and will take the flyback out of it. It looks like the one Rik showed in the picture with a separate primary winding out in the open air. Perfect. Thank you guys!!! Mike WE0H Mal h
Hi Mal, The only problem I see with this is it's an appliance, not homebrew...hi hi Mike WE0H Mobile on my BlackBerry From: "mal hamilton" <[email protected]> Date: Wed, 12 May 2010 11:23:42 +010
Lots of stations in the USA running way over 1500w into the feedline too. The FCC doesn't care enough to do anything. Sadly it seems the Amateur bands in the USA are a free for all. Mike WE0H mal h w
Now it's time for Mal to crank up a few kilowatt into one hell of a large antenna. You have a listener on this side of the pond Mal. Be the first to cross the pond before Stefan does it...hi hi Mike
My TV transformer works very well from about 4kc on up. I get 300v p-p out of it with just .7v p-p input from my DDS VFO. I tested some mains transformers and the loss was too high at even 4kc. They
What would be a good affordable wire to wind a base loading coil from? It can't be too small diameter or the losses will be huge. That is the only part of the station that seems like a big undertakin
Hi Rick, Hell is about an hour west of Detroit. It is a neat little town. The XYL & I are going to get married there. Nothin like going to Hell to get hitched!!! hi hi 73, Mike-WE0H Rick W wrote: Hi
Wow that is cool if Mal is seeing your signal Wolf. Can you describe the antenna system and the radio equipment? How tall are the trees to your antenna and how many trees? This is sounding very promi
