Topband: Audio request

[Nodir Tursun-Zade]

Hi,

I am looking for 160 m audio clips of VP6R and pile ups. I plan to make
video footage but we didn't do any recordings from our side.

Appreciate if someone can share. Please contact me off reflector.

Thank you!

I don’t think it matters what label we use as long as we correctly understand 
its electrical properties.

K2AV says ".BOG is not a Beverage. So don't think about or treat a BOG like
a Beverage."



 

 

You seem pretty adamant about that Guy.

What *SHOULD* we be calling it then please?

Re: Topband: BOG Beverage on Ground Help

[Mikek]

Thanks for the input K2AV. After reading IV3PRK's webpage I was
convinced a BOG is not related to a beverage.
His first line is "yes, this is a resonant antenna, nothing to do with 
beverages!"**http://www.iv3prk.it/bog-modeling.htm

 Is there any advantage to having a BOG 1" or 2" off the ground?
Dry? Filled with water?
 I have thought of running a 1" or 2" pvc pipe the BOG length and tie wrapping 
the wire to the top side.
This would allow weed whipping under and around the pipe and make it easy to 
keep debris from laying on top.

I'm still working on a variable inductor, not that I haven't been able to 
reduce a 100uH inductor to resistance
using the magnetic field from a relay coil. But I need to over drive the relay 
coil. I'm still looking
for a relay coil that produces a large magnetic field. at 12v to 30v. At a 
cheap price! Something may show up.
 If anyone has info on what I should look for in a relay that might tell me "this 
has a high magnetic flux", please pass that along.
 I can also use an AC relay on DC (up to a current limit) if that gets me more 
flux.**

 Here's the original article that got me started on a DC variable inductor.

I have been contacted privately by a couple of hams to comment with my call 
sign.
Years ago I got a Tech license, and thought it expired, so I haven't used it. I 
went to
renew today and found I did renew and it's good until 2028. I have no recall of 
renewing it.
"Getting old ain't for sissys!" ARRGH!
