    Easiest way to view WWDX

    Believe me I know that ads pay for this site and it's important that we view them, but on mobile maybe I'm doing something wrong, but viewing it through a browser on mobile I am completely covered in ads. I mean you click one thing on this forum and boom you have ads top to bottom that cover the...

    Choke input hv power supplies

    Maybe some greybeards on here remember when choke input power supplies were the norm. Every amplifier had them. The wisdom that was preached is that they offer better regulation. I worked on plenty of amplifiers with them both large and small. The largest supply I've ever used with a choke input...

    Tx on all 40ch at once

    I was told a story about a Cobra 29, you were able to broadcast on every channel simultaneously. It's just a goof. Is it as simple as making the pll unlock? Will the radio still function on receive? How would one modify a Cobra 29 to do this?

    Tower switching service as antenna

    Probably over a decade ago I remember looking at a website and this gentleman did something very clever. He had a couple of stacked Yagis on top of a tower, each one covered a different band.. but he did something with a box with a bunch of relays in it where I think what he did was disconnect...

    Sirio mobile antennas, which is which

    I've been thinking about mounting a roof mount sirio antenna on one of my vehicles. I like the size of the base and I like the fact that they have their own internal matching device so they do tend to tune very well. I have not been impressed with the quality of Wilson's in recent years. All...

    What's inside the yaesu 101 filters?

    Even though the yaesu 101 is an ancient radio by today's standards they still get used, traded, and sold. In fact, I'd argue they are an easier sell when they are in working order than loads of their more modern counterparts. There are a handful of places that still repair them as well which is...

    Bucking? Transformer

    I can think of nobody specifically to pose this question to. I have seen mention on various electronic forums and I think this one as well, a technique of using the secondary of a second transformer, just the secondary I think, in series (I think) with the primary of a high voltage transformer...
