    HF 6-160 VERTICAL antenna best price??

    Ok, I must admit, This discussion has had me doing some research......Gotta love ham radio!!!! The following is a quote from the ARRL antenna hand book, and is sited on several sites around the net. "As the included angle of the inverted vee becomes smaller the two radiators interfere...

    HF 6-160 VERTICAL antenna best price??

    W5LZ I understand why people argue the polarization of an inverted V, But fact is, the antenna is vertically polarized, But not omni directional. It presents lobes off the broad sides of the antenna. Here is a decent read on the subject Radio Antenna Engineering - Traveling-wave Antenna for...

    HF 6-160 VERTICAL antenna best price??

    The problem with verticals is having enough space for the radial field. You want at least a 1/4 wavelength radial field on the lowest freq operated. So on 160meters, you will need a radial field that stretches out 131 feet in all directions from the base of the vertical element. Thats alot of...

    ROHN BX64, How much did you load it?

    Just wanting to see how much people have put on these towers. I know the specs are not all that impresive and the biggest issue is long beams "torquing" the tower, but I am interested to know what you have on yours. PICS ARE BEST

    Galaxy DX 88HL reads really high on driver bias

    First ensure the supply voltage is 13.8 and not 15 or so...... Check R219, VR11, and R218, for proper value. Verify with an ohm meter. Preferably out of circuit, but not needed to be. If either of these were too low in value, that would cause excess bias voltage and added current. Since...

    Radio Oddities # 798

    On a second thought as well. Check the negative DC input. If your radio is relying on the ground through the coax, its likely that ground is not a very good one. see if radio turns off when you remove the coax. So the static shock you deliver to the case could momentarily raise the entire ground...

    Radio Oddities # 798

    I would say check the grounds on the ta7222 audio amp. Its possible that you have enough static charge that if one of the grounds is loose, the static charge is popping the audio amp and its droping the gain a result. Radio cools down and the connection is fine until the next arc creates a high...

    No offense, But you couldnt be more wrong. USAF has more specialties to support combat operations than any other branch.

    Palomar 450 FET PERFECT!!

    I bought this amplifier to do some testing for a friend. I did remove 2 capacitors and replace place them with lower value capacitors. The reason for this was to allow for lower drive and still retain a decent output. After testing for a couple hours using my FT817, I put the original capacitors...
