Hi Dave, Have you actually tried one? Mine seems to work. I was ready to put out radials also, but doesn't seem to be necessary. - Jerry KF6VB On 2022-01-16 10:07, David Gilbert wrote: That post illustrates the mistake in thinking that a lightning ground (Ufer

know how well it's calibrated, and it doesn't do peak power. So I just ordered an LP100A. With the work I've been doing with linear amplifiers, I am very interested in accurate power readings. - Jerry KF6VB 73, Josh W6XU Sent from my iPad On Jan 13, 2022, at 5:19

So how about a stereo effect where the position of the signal depends on its frequency? Low frequencies on the left, high to the right. A linear progression across your head? - Jerry KF6VB On 2021-12-25 22:59, Victor Rosenthal wrote: I'll try that. I was also thinking some

It depends on the wire. I have a roll of "high temperature" 16AWG that laughs at my attempts. I generally keep my station at 750, that seems to work OK for the low temperature stuff. But even with the lo-temp stuff, you have to be patient. - Jerry KF6VB On 2021-1
