Chuck Grandgent [EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- I'll put a vote in for the Radio Works Carolina Windom, by far best antenna I've ever had (compared to the dipoles and verticals I've had). I use the T4X barefoot, so no power problems with it. Can finally do 160meters, which was a boyhood dream (wanted a rhombic) that I was never able to fulfill because of lack of real estate, no longer a problem. I use it with the MN-4 and tunes up great on all bands. On 160 it is connected direct, but it appears my MN4 was modified with a switch on the back for extra capacitance, I have to investigate that some more to see if I can tune the MN4 properly on 160, though it tunes up fine without it with low SWR.

Richard Arland, W3OSS [EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- Gang: Gotta put my $0.02 in. I have known Jim Thompson owner of The Radio Works, since he first started the business in the early 1980s. I have reviewed a number of his antennas over the years. The number ONE thing about t The Radio Works and Jim Thompson: consistency. He builds quality products AFTER he researches the topic. There is NOTHING magic about his antennas; just solid antenna physics, quality components, and excellent quality control. He can back up his claims with data taken from antenna modeling and actual on-air use. In 1987 I had the unique opportunity to test one of his standard G5RVs against a full size 40M dipole, both erected at the same height (about 45 ft) of the ground.. Hands down, the winner was the G5RV! Absolutely the best antenna when compared to the dipole. There was no formal test bed, just on-air testing and the G5RV easily outperformed the dipole. Six years earlier, at the RSGB HF Convention at Oxford (UK), I was able to get 20 minutes of one-on-one face time with Lou Varney, G5RV. We discussed his mystical antenna and I got quite an education. First of all Lou designed the antenna as a single band (20M) gain antenna TO BE USED WITH AN ANTENNA TUNER!! The fact that it worked on other bands was a definatet plus, but Lou was specific when he talked about the antena that bears his callsign: it was a single band wire gain antenna! Having said all this: if I was limited to only ONE antenna for HF work, it would be the G5RV, no question. Even at low heights this antenna works great. They are inexpensive, easy to erect (just like a diople) and since the feedline terminates in a piece of coaxial cable routing the feedline into the shack is not a challenge. REMEMBER to use a tuner!!! The antenna, while being multi-band, will tune most, if not all the HF ham bands (160 might be a little tough, but mine would do it) howver, a TUNER is MANDATORY. If you go with an altered feedline configuration (300 or 450 ohm ladder line all the way in from the antnna feedpoint to the transmitter) you can achieve true multiband performance.

Re: [RE][drakelist] Request Drake users experience, opinions and comments for an all
Hello everyone Another $0.02 I agree with Rich. I use a G5RV at 45 ft. in a crowded neighborhood. It has 450 ohm ladder line coming straight down from the center. I use coax into the shack and a home made balun where the feed lines meet. I use it with my Drake transceivers. I can work anything I can hear barefoot and tune it to almost unity with either of my Drake tuners. Real sweet on 20m. One thing I found important is a good ground to everything. It is neighbor friendly as it has darker wire and dark nylon support lines so it blends right into the background of trees and such. Like Rich said, inexpensive and easy to erect. I plotted tuner settings for different bands and noticed that it tunes a little different depending on the weather but nothing significant. Lots of rain out here in Oregon.

[drakelist] TR-4C
I am still working on my TR-4C. I now have the filter problem fixed and in fact have the correct signal going all the way to the 12BY7 driver tube. I do not have any signal coming out of the driver to the finals. The tube is good and I have substituted another with no change. The voltages all check good on the 12BY7 except for pin 8. It has the full 250 volts on it so no grid current is flowing there. What might cause this? Has any one out there run into this problem before and maybe could tell me where I should look for the problem. As always any help would be appreciated.

Re: [drakelist] Request Drake users experience, opinions and comments for an all band HF Antennas
[EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- I want to echo Don's comments. I've been licensed since 1974, not long to sum and a over a lifetime for others. I've worked in communications over 20 years specifying, purchasing, designing, installing, and operating various types of equipment including HF antenna's. Oh I use G5RV's at home, the Office, I recommended them to emergency services organizations, and used them during emergencies and disasters. However, when I stop thinking that I didn't have the room to install an 80 meter fullwave loop and listen to my friend and mentor George Runyan, WB6YEC actually building it, the light came on. Remember it doesn't have to be shaped square, or rectangular. There are many possibilities. We used 14 ga stranded wire, 450 ohm ladder line, and suspending it 32' above the ground using old well pipe for supports, the results were beyond my expectations. No it doesn't tune 160 as a balanced antenna but it work's just fine when I short the ladderline then configuring it as end fed using the loop as a top capacity hat. The signal reports on 160, well, the comments have been Best Signal out of San Diego on 160 No its not the Holy Grail but for my many years of experience as antenna's go, the 80 meter fullwave loop using 450 ohm ladderline has my vote. 73's and I wish you all the best, John N.

The antenna you are asking for is the 'holy grail' for us all, so the best you will come up with is some form of compromise. a full size loop or longer dipole type with a good tuner will go a long way. myself, I haven't been too happy with the G5RV, but others have been.. same thing with windoms, bazooka's etc. and for me, these are types for me to tinker around with and have some fun with it.

Re: [drakelist] TR-4C
OK Garey, I must have been on the wrong pin before. The voltages on V7 are all ok and close to where they should be in R T. I have a scope (Tetronix) and a Freq. counter. I am testing with the bandswitch in the 20m position. On pin 2 of V6 I show a freq of 10.400 mhz when I go to T and when I talk in the mike I can see the SSB signal there. Still, nothing on the other side of V6 tho. No RF there. Terry In a message dated 3/31/2008 4:21:47 P.M.

Re: [drakelist] TR-4C
Garey Barrell [EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- Well, that's a problem! First thing comes to mind is that the Carrier oscillator isn't running, and you are tuning to the second harmonic of the PTO. On 20M you should have 9.000 MHz from the Car Osc. mixed with the PTO at say 5.200 MHz to produce a signal at 14.200 MHz. You need to see if the 9.000 MHz oscillator is running, on frequency and I would expect about 2V p-p across R77 at T13. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It changes when I tune the VFO.

Re: [RE][drakelist] Request Drake users experience, opinions and comments for an all
And this just goes to show the diversity of our hobby, and antennas in particular. I have never had a g5rv do any better than a dipole except on 20m, and even then it wasn't great. usually worse than a dipole. And I have talked to plenty of others with both the same as my experience, as well as great reports from others. I have seen this same difference in opinions on most antenna's. So I would recommend that you be willing to try them out, if it works for you, Great !, if not, move on to the next design. Things like your lot size and direction, support structures, buildings, trees, terrain, earth conductivity, ect, all add up to make each operating site unique so that what works great for one, may not be quite so good for your station.

I use a G5RV at 45 ft. in a crowded neighborhood. It has 450 ohm ladder line coming straight down from the center. I use coax into the shack and a home made balun where the feed lines meet. I use it with my Drake transceivers. I can work anything I can hear barefoot and tune it to almost unity with either of my Drake tuners. Real sweet on 20m. One thing I found important is a good ground to everything. It is neighbor friendly as it has darker wire and dark nylon support lines so it blends right into the background of trees and such. Like Rich said, inexpensive and easy to erect. I plotted tuner settings for different bands and noticed that it tunes a little different depending on the weather but nothing significant. Lots of rain out here in Oregon. Regards Steve WA7EZB Richard Arland, W3OSS made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- Gang: Gotta put my $0.02 in. I have known Jim Thompson owner of The Radio Works, since he first started the business in the early 1980s. I have reviewed a number of his antennas over the years. The number ONE thing about t The Radio Works and Jim Thompson: consistency. He builds quality products AFTER he researches the topic. There is NOTHING magic about his antennas; just solid antenna physics, quality components, and excellent quality control. He can back up his claims with data taken from antenna modeling and actual on-air use. In 1987 I had the unique opportunity to test one of his standard G5RVs against a full size 40M dipole, both erected at the sa! me heig ht (about 45 ft) of the ground.. Hands down, the winner was the G5RV! Absolutely the best antenna when compared to the dipole. There was no formal test bed, just on-air testing and the G5RV easily outperformed the dipole. Six years earlier, at the RSGB HF Convention at Oxford (UK), I was able to get 20 minutes of one-on-one face time with Lou Varney, G5RV. We discussed his mystical antenna and I got quite an education. First of all Lou designed the antenna as a single band (20M) gain antenna TO BE USED WITH AN ANTENNA TUNER!! The fact that it worked on other bands was a definatet plus, but Lou was specific when he talked about the antena that bears his callsign: it was a single band wire gain antenna! Having said all this: if I was limited to only ONE antenna for HF work, it would be the G5RV, no question. Even at low heights this antenna works ! gr eat. They are inexpensive, easy to erect (just like a diople) and since the feedline terminates in a piece of coaxial cable routing the feedline into the shack is not a challenge. REMEMBER to use a tuner!!! The antenna, while being multi-band, will tune most, if not all the HF ham bands (160 might be a little tough, but mine would do it) howver, a TUNER is MANDATORY. If you go with an altered feedline configuration (300 or 450 ohm ladder line all the way in from the antnna feedpoint to the transmitter) you can achieve true multiband performance. Just remember, it won't be a gain antenna on all bands. 73 Rich W3OS

Re: [drakelist] TR-4C
OK checking at the center pot terminal on the carrier balance control, my freq meter flickers between 8999 and 9000 khz. When I go to T then it flickers between 9000 and 9001 khz.

Re: [drakelist] Request Drake users experience, opinions and comments for an all band HF Antennas
[EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- It is almost all band but my favorite is a 20 meter DEZ at a total length of 86 feet fed with 450 ohm line. I would not hesitate to go against any triband bean with this on 20. Great on that band it is. It worked very well on 40, 30, and 10. I shorted the feed line and laid out a few radials for 160 well ... it worked after a fashion. It was fine on 80 but it didn't seem to get out the yard on 17, 15, and 12. I solved that problem by building a 15 meter DEZ which worked well on 30-10 meters. I hope that gives you a few ideas. 73, Mike WA5POK 343 countries es 9 band DXCC with wire antennas. One of my previous QTH's in town had a very small lot. I installed a 10 ft mast on the eave of my cape house style house and installed an inverted vee fed with 450 ohm line. The dipole was about 130 ft total length. I had to play around with the feedline length some but was able to tune all bands 80 through 10. For 160 meters I fed the ends of the 450 ohm line tied together and tuned it as a top loaded vertical. To do this I also installed a counterpoise. It all worked very well. I want to do the same thing here at my present QTH but currently lack the supports to have the feedline drop near the shack.
