Bob,
Done any comparisons of the MP1 with a full size vertical or St Louis
vertical on 40 meters ?
Thanks,

Bob,
My favorite antenna for portable operation has been the PAC-12, by Pacific
Antenna. I built the home brew version some months
before they began marketing a commercial one. I've used it on 40, 30 and 20
meters, and have recently wound coils for 17 and 15
meters. I haven't had the
Instructions for the Pac-12 antenna can be found here:

Overall, the PAC-12 takes less than 10 minutes to set up or take
down, is light to carry, and produces lots of contacts. IMO
I have not had my K2 on for several months now due to the other things in my
life. I turned it on this morning and started working K9OZ (another K2 Addict)
and the audio started to dwindle. I had to crank up the audio all the way to
hear the CW. I have check antennas, coax, and listen to

describe in the manual when ajusting S Lo and S Hi.

It's great to see this Eurasian ECN activity. I'm hoping that

Hi all,
Getting to the exciting bit of the amp now :-)
A quick question about the measurements on page 43 of the manual. There
are 4 to check.
D13 Cathode: 90 to 150V (I get 128.3V so ok)
U4 pin 8: -5 to -25V (I get -22.6V)
TP1: 0 to 0.1V (I get 1.5mV)
The last one is where my question is ...

Not sure if this has anything to do with what you are seeing, but...
How close is your work light to the finals? Does the measurement
change when you move the light away?
Hello Jean-Francois,
Also, be sure that the AGC is in fact turned ON. To be certain that it's
on, simply tap the AGC button once. If it was previously off, that will
turn it on, and if it was on already, it will simply change the AGC
time-constant from either fast to slow, or the other way

Sherman, and all,
Any objective measures of performance of these antenna's ? Vertical vs
Pac-12 / MP-1 ?
