If you are a serious contest op you should not be reading this get back
in the chair and work some more stations.
I have been asked to operate 160m this evening by several Caribbean
stations. Since they are all multi¹s they may have time to read this.
I will make an effort to be on starting at

MST is - 7 hours from UTC, not -6 hours MDT has caused a mental problem I
guess
Anyway 0500 UTC is the correct time for 10 PM Mountain Standard Time.

I may have worked only 10 SP last night. When it is a struggle to work
WY,UT,MT and WA from ID you know something is not right.
I did manage one NY, IN, OH, IA, and ND but could not even hear the ID

I complement the NY station [ note I am not
Is no one going to suggest that a ³gyrator² should be put into the circuit
instead of an inductor?
There was a W3 who had some of the diodes for replacements. They are
surface mount and small! Obviously, one wants them to have a very low
conduction threshold voltage. I suspect Tom can suggest
I am sure [or at least I hope] I could sort through the information
available in books and on the web for the answer to this question, but
maybe someone reading this reflector can give me an 'instant' answer
[preferably correct].
I intend to use a powdered iron core toroid as the form for an
Is this a current Topband topic? Did I miss something. I thought folks
were talking about antennas and some new and unusual ideas with respect to
them.

Is this a typo?
Here in the VI when the power company increased the rates to over $40
per KWH .
I wonder if you meant $0.40/KWH.
At $40/KWH I would guess you could not afford to run your equipment for an
entire contest!

Hmmm.. the heatsink base of this 40 watt bulb also gets too hot to touch
and feels like more than 40 watts also.

I am quite certain that there will need to be different sense antennas for
160m and 630m. I would not be surprised if we did not also need bandpass
filters for each of the bands as well.
As I recall there were several circuits in QST using a single analog
Devices unit to measure RF
Here is a chance to see, if not hear, signals on 600 meters.

I have operated a beacon on 186 kHz - - back in about 1999. I used a
HyTower for the vertical element and then a loading coil to get it to
match. Wait until you see what it takes to build a reasonable Q loading
coil at 630 meters !!!

A trivial point in this discussion, but of some consequence in assessment
of data, the average is almost always NOT the 50% point of a population.
The Median is the midpoint -- that is 50% of the population is above and
50% below the Median.
The Average [or Mean] for a population is very
