As I have posted elsewhere, I am limited to a 4-foot  diameter mag loop
on the porch, power limited to 15 watts.  I wonder if I would have a
better signal with 100 watts into my MFJ dummy load.  :)  (To be honest,
I have a separate amplified receiving antenna that does have ears.)

[Elecraft] Low activity

2019-09-13 Thread Dauer, Edward
There is one additional drawback.  

Last weekend, after having been off the air for just over three months, I went 
to the shack to operate in the Nebraska QSO Party -- needing only NE on 10 to 
finish the CW 5BWAS.  Dead quiet on 10 meters.  After an hour of CQ NEQP every 
20 seconds, a familiar old-tyme burning smell filled the room.  By sniffing 
everything I found the culprit.  Somehow in my absence (or in the absence of my 
working memory) the KPA had been switched to ANT2, which is my dummy load.  
It's rated at 1500 watts but it has a time limit.  I guess I exceeded it.

But no matter.  I opened a window, aired out the room, took the fried dummy 
load out to the patio, switched the amp to ANT1 (a real antenna), and the sound 
of the band didn't change.  At all.  Nada.  All day.  What fun.

Ted, KN1CBR

A 50 ohm dummy load.?? There's never any noise, never any QRM, the 
frequency is always clear, and always a 1:1 SWR.?? Of course getting a 
DXCC is much more of a challenge.

Re: [Elecraft] Low activity

2019-09-13 Thread Mark Petiford via Elecraft
 I posted the question, "What is the BEST antenna to use with my K???" as a 
"tongue-in-cheek" question to see if it would generate some activity, and it 
was wildly successful.  I posted it at about 12:30pm PDT and it is now almost 
5pm PDT.  There are over a dozen responses, and at least two threads spawned.  
That question ALWAYS generates LOTS of activity.  I guess it is because there 
is no single answer to it.

it's stuff.  I am an Elecraft junkie... because I love their stuff, and, all of

Good idea. A fellow ham I worked with once had a rhombic favoring the south

Put up a Rhombic favoring the direction of your most wanted DX.
It can be used as a multi-band antenna with lots of gain.

Well, the best antenna for me so far is the only one I have, a 51' G5RV 
Junior dipole 30' above ground fed with ladder line into my KX-3 with 
KXP100.  (I also have a Buddipole for remote operation.)


Given that you can never have enough antennas, what should I add?  My 
situation is perfect, with no houses except mine around, no power lines, 
and plenty of space.


Here's my thinking at the moment:

1.  I already have a new G5RV that I could probably string between some 
really tall trees to give me a dipole perpendicular to the one I have.  
Need a launcher, though.


2.  I love to climb, and the kid in me would put up a 250' tower on the 
hill behind the house, but my wife keeps showing me articles about 
friends dying when they fall off roofs.  And I'm not excited about 
putting a lot of metal in the air at our historic farm, anyway.  A 
mono-pole might be OK.


3. We have a barn connected to the house with peak at about 35 feet 
(that's where one end of the G5RV Jr. is attached.)  It would be easy to 
put something against it, say a mast with a hinged anchor mount on the 
ground, then attach a line up 30 on the mast and pull it up from inside 
the barn.  Would be easy to lower, I think.  Not sure what I would put 
on top yet, though, maybe start small.


Of course I'd like to buy a K4, but for now, any antenna thoughts?

In the meantime, the rest of us are too busy daydreaming about being able to go

Rhombic or Sterba curtain. Unless you're doing pedestrian mobile, in which 
case...AX1 :)

Speaking strictly for all of us, the Elecraft Elves are so busy K4ing that some 
aren't posting as often as usual.

During last week I got very few e-mails. Is it low activity or e-mails 
lost somewhere?
