Good day all. I have used the DX Engineering F6. Available in bulk (can't
remember if 1000 feet or 500) it works well and is well constructed. Have
eight 530' antennas each fed with a run of that cable. It is not, however,
critter-proof! Steve, NN4T

I could spot, he stayed within the range of 1-2 up. I did not spot anyone
higher than that. Just FYI. Steve, NN4T

Good evening Paul. I cannot speak for your personal remote but I can tell you
the rules at RHR: you identify the state (or grid if on FT8 or JT65) of the
station from which you are transmitting. Those are the rules under which you
agree to operate. And that is the only warning you receive.
I am under the impression that most contests have rules regarding the proximity
of both the transmitter/transmitters and antenna/antennas used for receiving
purposes. At the moment I do not believe DXCC proscribes that. It is obvious
that technologies such as remote receivers (although hardly
Thanks Tim. I should have done my homework. Now I have 8 580’ terminated
beverages with Array Solutions transformers and terminating resistors. They are
quite robust but when the warmer, less stable weather comes I disconnect both
ends of each antenna to protect the hardware. Even so the odd
Good morning. I am searching for the most efficient way to monitor the
activity of the countries I still need on 160 (other bands also). Currently
I am going to DX Summit, putting on the 160 filter and searching for the
prefix of the countries I still need. I then print the results, if any are
In my 40 years of DXing I have encountered my share of clueless operators,
even on Topband. I am reasonably certain most of them were not operating
remotely. The recent decision by the ARRL should have laid to rest the
question of remote operations and DXCC. I would respectfully suggest to

Edmund Burke was a great thinker and observer of mankind and politics. I
suspect he would view all this gnashing of teeth over such a trivial matter
as just what it is: a waste of time and energy. ISIS, who kills hundreds of
people every day, is evil. Thousands of people dying all over the world
I was rereading the article by Cary Oler and Ted Cohen (N4XX), published in
1998, which provided a good primer for understanding, as much as we can,
propagation on Topband. In one section the impact of a high K index on the
auroral oval, and its subsequent impact on signals passing through the
