As per the VK1OD website chart RG-6 has less loss than anything else
shown. Matches RG-213 at 1.8 Mhz the place we are all looking at.
I can see where perhaps my twenty year old RG-6 could be improved
upon by using the quad shielded variety perhaps. Maybe more help on
receive than transmit by c
Hello All,
I am working on improving my TB ability this season. I have installed 2
sloping ½ wave dipoles. Is there anyone on this reflector that is using the
Comtek ABC-4 with a phased pair of antennas that I might take advantage of
there experience and ask them some pointed questions?

As I found that posting I need to set things right. The spots on the DX-Cluster
are false and someone misused my call. I am an enthusiastic topbander and I do
not have the need to do such things. I have my own station with several RX
antennas like Beverage, rotatable Flag,... I work what I can h
Ive been using BN73-202 cores on 2 wire reversible Beverages in the 500-900'
range. They work fine down to 150KHz with surprisingly good directivity on
the LF BC stations as well as NDB's
They are wound as isolated winding transformers with Teflon sleeving to
minimize interwinding C which has r
Hi,
..and thanks for including me on the Top Band reflector. My interest in
electronics generally and ham radio in particular goes back to the 1950s
although I didn't get my license until 1980. No elmers were available
and life had other things taking too much of my energy for a lot of
years. I di
I've used lots of RG-6 over the years for transmitting. It handles full
power fine, even through F connectors (got that tip years ago from KM1H)
for various antennas 160-10m. Though most of mine is hard-wired.
Mine wasn't new either -- most scrounged from dumpster at local CATV
company in the '

Hi All,
An antenna for 160m is ready...its inverted L with SWR 1,2 on 1825 kHz.
Temperatures are very high and he has sunburns already...its impossible
to do anything during a full day.
Unfortunatelly a generator is producing high noise S7 but NB in K3 is working
quite well.
Jacek has so far exce
