Hello Jack, > What am I missing? What is wrong with "long skip"? Nothing, as long as it's not your only choice. Normally, you can "generally" choose your skip distance by selecting the appropriate band for the time of day. 20 and up for longer distances. 40 short during the day and longer at

Check out either amfone.net or amwindow.org . Tom, K1JJ, I thought built a pair of 813's X 813's triode connected. I don't think it was link coupled though. Mod-U-Lator, Mike(y) W3SLK - Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Discussion of AM Radio in the Amateur Service'"

Yes, if anyone can suggest references to published plans for push-pull 813 rigs, I'd like to see those too. I have a recently-acquired partly-completed rig here with PP 813's in the final, plug-in coils with swinging link and etc., and I'd like to find out what plans the builder was working from if

I am in the thinking stages of my next rig and would like some ideas. I am thinking of a pair of 813's or maybe even 4-250's but I can't seem to find any specific plans or designs on line. There must be lots of them out there. I found a thing called the 813 Maul which is 813's modulated by 8

Nothing wrong with "long skip" except when you're trying to work stations close in between 100 and 600 miles. If I wanted to work "long skip", I'd work 40 or 20 M. 75M is supposed to be for "short skip", and "local" work, not specifically DX. Ed, VA3ES --
