Continuation of experiments with ewe and SRF59', M37V and Sony 2010: Today at sundown, I repeated the experiment on ZBVI and WDHP. The first two radios coupled as expected with the vertical element and both stations were audible. WDHP was much stronger--S9. The 2010 would not couple. Perhaps the ferrite is deeper in the case than the ultralights. I dunno....
Inside the shack, I scramble wound a few turns of teflon coated hookup wire around the M37V and held the wire ends to the Diawa Switch's vacant port's center and ground. The connection was not great, but I was able to hear WDHP's relay of the BBC until the Rube Goldberg creation sprung apart in my hands after a few moments. The rx could not hear the signal without coupling. I'll improve the coupling arrangement and report back. I may rig a ground terminal to my ferrite tuner box and see if I can couple the ewe with it. Sure beats working for a living... 73 Gil SE GA _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
