I can offer some comparison. I have an 260 foot horizontal loop that is 20 to 30 foot high. Also I have a 75 meter inverted L. The L has about 35 feet vertical and the horizontal section goes from 35 feet to about 40 feet above ground at the end. The inverted L has about 30 radials at the...

If you are wanting to have a Panadapter on the FT-950 you will need to get the interface board and install internally. RFSPACE IF-2000 Then you can connect something like an LP-Pan or SDR-IQ to complete. Related information at...

He must of realized that taking his bio down was admitting that CBradiolover = W4WXP = Assaulter and the other user names when he posted the links to his videos.

W4WXP aka CBradiolover Assaulter / CBradiolover / W4WXP Chris I have to give you credit for promoting your videos on all of the different sites. You sure must enjoy getting a rise out of the folks on QRZ.com and eham. --- http://qrz.com/db/W4WXP/ profile page: I enjoy a little bit...

I agree it was a good show. They did a nice job integrating the music with the storyline and the old news footage. The Justice Dept guy that the show opened with is well on his way to being owned by her. If they stay on track it will be a show that I'll watch each week and I don't tend to...

So could Keri Russel recruit you to spy? :)

If you are needing to put up a stealth antenna you will need to provide more information about your situation. Are you in a house or apartment? If an apartment ground level or what floor? Do you have a balcony, How big? What is the construction of the building or house? This impacts...

A tri-band at 50 feet gives you a nice boost in your signal. I'm running a ground mounted vertical for HF. Also have a wire at about 30 feet for the lower bands. When I decided to get active on HF I tried out a Kenwood TS2000 but didn't like the front panel. To many very small buttons...

Gary I think the thrill of working behind the iron curtain during the cold war days would be hard to top anymore. Bruce It sounds like 15m is your money band. What are you running for an antenna? Also are you running 100 watts or do you have an amp?

I agree it can be challenging lately on 10 meters. I was really hoping to do some damage in the recent 10 meter contest and the band was pretty flat. I set DXCC as a goal a little over a year ago. Longer term I would like to reach DXCC on each of the main bands. I've noticed that it...

Congrats on DXCC. How does it break down by band? I'm at 91 confirmed (mostly on LOTW) Hoping to ramp that up I went ahead and sent out paper QSL's to another 10 countries during December. The higher bands have been the best for me. I have 50 confirmed on both 10 & 15 meters. On 20...

During some of the other recent HF contests I had competing family obligations that limited my contest time. So for the 10m contest I had cleared the deck and could spend as much time as I wanted. Naturally Murphy choked propagation and made for poor conditions. Signals briefly coming up...

I did a Google search and found this interesting thread: [RFI] Trane Furnace RFI

Shayne are you aware that being licensed in Japan would not give you any licensing privileges in China? You mention traveling around with your radio. Keep in mind that each country will have their own licensing requirements. I would be reluctant to travel around China carrying transmitting...

The contest was fun. I fired up the radio Friday evening for a few hours and some more on Saturday and Sunday. I ended up with 81 QSO's and 42 countries on 10 meters. Also 20 countries each on 15 & 20 meters. Added some all time new countries: Bonaire, Aland Island, Romania, Finland...

Are you planning to use a remote tuner with the 31 foot vertical? If not on most bands a lot of your output power will just be heating up your coaxial. With what remote tuners cost I put in a Hustler vertical and have been happy with it as a second antenna option. (The other being an 80...

I've also noticed that the audio on the K3 doesn't sound as good. Especially compared to the Kenwoods. I tried to talk myself into the K3 and looked at them a lot on line and also in person at Dayton. My impression of the physical feel and the look of the K3 in person ended putting me off...

Here is a guy with a bunch of links for EME. Welcome to the W7GJ Home Page! When 6 is open he always has a great signal.

That is an interesting looking radio. You might join the harris-radio Yahoo group and find more information.

LMAO - he even has listed a "white van" scam stereo system. MCLAREN TECHNOLOGIES HT-81 - retail $3499 for only $1500. Yeah right! For that kind of money you could get some fairly decent quality components at a Best Buy type store.
