Yes, superb condx. Called cq for abt 3hours, many RBN-spots from NA over
30db.
15 NA in the log. Guess lot`s of folk have free from job.
kh2/n2nl works 60-70 EU in 1hour...LA is not KH2, but it may display
something.
NA: little less conversation (on reflector) little more action! Remember
The December Doldrums are officially over.
For the second day we had good long path/skewed path conditions in the
pre-dawn hours.
This morning's excitement started with VK3IO (579) calling in at 1018z
and VK3ZL (599!) at 1037z. Often when the VK's are this loud it's a sign
the band will be

Ha ! Ray,
From NH I heard EU stations but with a stealth condo endfed and K1 QRP rig
I may as well have been in W6 land :-)
However, hope springs eternal,
and for some totally unexplainable reason, I made
a (confirmed) contact with NH7O the other night
and am still on a tremendous high from
Any series resistance or inductance will slow the incoming wave down and
increase the tilt and the length where it reverses direction can be
calculated since a 50% VF is the crossover point. A Beverage by definition
is a slow wave antenna.

Got a note from Gary K9AY, he says no time to make the RAS8x2 switches, real
work is too busy. So I suspect until Gary can make more they are not
available.

Yes, Quite a morning on 160! I heard XU7ACY via LP (on 213? Beverage) here
in SNH for the 1st time. I called him a few times but no QSO. Gone at my
exact sunrise. Quite a thrill just the same.
Cheers, Dick, W1ZC

Let me applaud David for his post. This in informative - relevant to
160 meters and does not get into the emotional area that I was trying
to nip in the bud with my previous post. It should be noted that
some people took offense at my position and even at least one
unsubscribed from this list
Ditto here, only LY7M and that was not strong at all. Been quiet this
season. I could just barely hear the V5/DJ DXpedition, but no way I was
getting through that pileup.

RAS-8x2 -- yes, production has been suspended while I work on my real job
which now involves starting a new company (www.rfti.com for those who might
be interested).
I have only today started a conversation with

While many were hearing XU7ACY via long path yesterday morning, I heard
stations to the west and south working JAs which I could not hear. I'd be
interested in knowing if they too were worked via long path or direct.
I listened both ways and while XU7 had a very copyable signal here, there was
Interlocked switches should not be necessary for receive applications.
If by interlocked you're looking for a way to deselect one antenna
when selecting the next, check K1TTT's web site. Dave had a push

Yes, but if I were trying to work a difficult path like EU on 160M from

could safely
Thor's very informative post about the far more limited spectrum on
160M in his country was also quite helpful, and it helped a lot in
understanding his concerns. This is the sort of information that I'd
love to see collected for ALL countries on a website. I'd be happy
to post it on mine if

Phase noise is generated by the rig's LO and exists as a more broad band low
level signal. Issue is more significant with modern day DDS than with older
analog-type VFO sources. Guys who operate field day can relate...

Jeff, I suspect that you mean modern day synthesisers rather than
specifically DDS. Actually, the DDS itself has quite low phase noise,
better than -130 dBc/Hz with Analog Devices chips, especially if the
internal multiplying PLL is not used in the reference path.

Greg,
Yes, that's correct. Thanks for the fix. Been a long week.
