Hey topbanders,
how high is the loss of the reverse direction of the
KD9SV reverse beverage hardware with a WD-1 antenna wire.What is your
experience? Any tipps?

Hello Andree,
The loss you observe primarily depends on a loss in WD-1 wire used as in a
transmition line mode.
As wire made by different manufactures, with different polyethylene, steel
and copper strands, and tolerances in size its impedance is different.
And of course mismatch in
I took this as everyone is chomping at the bit to get outside and work on
antennas. I know I am... :) Fred KB4QZH

I tried calling CQ on CW at around midnight local (0800z) this morning
and worked JE1CTM, G3PQA, G3OQT, and G3OLB in succession all with good
signals into Southern California. This came after an absolute bounty of
European QSOs on FT8, including a number of eastern European QSOs.
HB9BIN was
I was qrv between 0400z and 0500z. Heard and worked K0RF, W0FLS (it was
me Rick, hi) and AA0RS. Until 0500 basically all signals were fading out.

Just to add to the discussion on band conditions, Mike W4EF near LA was
romping into UK this morning, Tuesday at 0800 sunrise, peaking 8 to 9 and
Larry N7DD was well over the 9. Apart from those two, the band was devoid
of CW during the short time I was on.

Well Conditions were good last week . . . On one evening I worked about 30
North American stations on CW, including across to Texas, Colorado, etc.
Rick I was on last night around 0100Z and again about 0300Z. I did work Dave
VE6WZ in Alberta, however, I could see from NA RBN Reports that

What sort of time were your QSOs Rick? (will look out for you tonight)

Kenny,
For the Baker Island KH1/KH7Z DXpedition I developed a 43 foot "T" antenna
with spreader wires (Fat Vertical) with sloping top loading wires. It
performed very well. I have been using a 65' version at C6AGU for the past
two years and it has been performing very well. (There is a picture
Does anyone have any pictures to share of a Titanex V80E tuner (2kw) model.
There are two coils that run the length of the enclosure, one in the enclosure
and one in the top.
Many thanks,

I have an 80' Rohn 45 tower that I shunt feed. At 85' there is a SteppIR
MonstIR. I set it on 7020 when I want to transit on 160M. The setting of the
antenna has a dramatic effect on 160M with SWR.
I have side mounted antennas at 45' and 50'.
The shunt feed is a set of three parallel #16
I’ve got a 330’ unterminated beverage 3’ high which is a fabulous performer!

guys,
Conditions to EU have been excellent this past week from Arizona. Looks like
the sunrise enhancement has finally returned. I have never seen EU with S9 plus
20 to 25 at this location in the past 30 years.
Let's hope for similar conditions for the commons contest.

Well 160m conditions have certainly been up and down the past few days . . .
and open from EU to the West Coast at times.
Hopefully we'll get lots of stations on tomorrow night to see what we can
all work !
