Re: Topband: RG-6 Coax again
That would have been me Dave. I have been using Garden Variety RG6 on my 160 array for well over 20 years. I tested a single run of it with a pair of heathkit dummy loads. Test piece of cable was 10 feet long with F connectors to F-UHF adapters. Brick on the KEY on the Amp until the Dummy loads started to smoke. Amp off and grabbed the coax. No heating observed in the coax or the F connectors.

Topband: H40KJ
Hi All, Till 13 October Jacek worked 350 QSOs on Topband ( almost 3000 total) from which 50 QSOs are with Europe...not counting Ukraine and European Russia. He wrote the Island is in a widest place only 30m wide now ! ( On Goggle map it seems to be wider but probably its an old picture) and there is no open area but a bush and a few houses...so he was not able to build any receiving antenna. he was trying anyway. 73 and GL Rys SP5EWY ___ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw?

Re: Topband: Fwd: Capacitor for Inverted L
- Original Message - From: "ZR" To: "Jim Bennett" ; Sent: Friday, October 14, 2011 8:49 AM Subject: Re: Topband: Fwd: Capacitor for Inverted L I dont understand the sudden urge or desire of some to suppress all high angle radiation from an inverted L. It is well established that even a low horizontal dipole can work amazing amounts of DX on 160 when conditions allow and having both possibilities present in the L is a benefit.

Topband: ICE 196
Anyone have the specifics of the parts used in the ICE196 front end protector? A picture of the interior shows two binocular cores, two diodes, a resistor and two ceramic caps. The manual does not list any details, windings etc. nor can I find anything web surfing. Thanks - Steve WB6RSE ___ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw? BK
Topband: RG-6 Coax again
I think I saw someone talk about using RG-6 75 ohm coax at a full KW and F connectors on 160, but I cannot remember if it was on this reflector. I have some "high Quality" RG-6 cable with the "right" vp, but before trying this I would like to hear from someone who has successfully done this already.
