Topband: UA9YAB - Silent Key
UA9YAB, Alex, a Topband op from Asiatic Russia passed away last week. The following was in The Daily DX. 73 Bernie UA9YAB, Alexander A. Sasha Vedernikov, passed away August 11th. It is not exactly clear what the cause was as there are reports it was a heart attack while swimming and another saying he drowned. Alexander was 50 years old and was on a DXpedition to Margarita Island, YV7/UA9YAB and Los Roques, YV5/UA9YAB at the time. A friend describes him as a skilled and experienced operator on phone and CW. He was known for his operations from various former ex-Soviet republics and Mongolia. His home in Biysk was near the Mongolian border. He was active in January as XU7AEQ in Cambodia. Left behind are his wife Natalia and two children, the youngest only three years old. At QRZ.RU donations are being accepted to raise the $30,000 to have his body returned to Russia from Venezuela.

Topband: 160 M FCP Alternatives - Comments Invited
Thanks to all who replied to my request for comments. All of the feedback is useful. I am now planning a FCP installation mounted on the fence, offset with PVC standoffs made from dimensioned PVC lumber. One leg ( 2 conductor side ) will bent 90 degrees, 20 feet out from centre. The other leg ( 3 conductor ) will be straight. Negotiations with the XYL are complete and I am now progressing into the construction phase of the antenna this weekend. Keeping my fingers crossed. 73 Rick ve3mm ___ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw? BK
Re: Topband: Threading radials
At a prior QTH in the 80's I used 3/4 PVC pipe and T's to support a length of 3/4 CATV hardline as the shunt feed. A single piece of #12 didnt work well at all at any spacing using bandwidth and pileup busting as the criteria.

Re: Topband: Threading radials
ZR, Bruce and Bob, thanks for your info. There's the problem. I was using the white ones and didn't know the black ones are UV resistant. I'll check those out. ZR, I need to use tie wraps in my case. I am not, currently, using PVC so I need something that will not make electrical contact which hose clamps would in my case. But that is a good point you make about that thing. If I change my design, which is indeed likely, I will definitely think about using your idea along with PVC. In general, I have avoided using PVC for anything RF.. those tests years ago where the PVC pipes melted and the resulting pictures kind of left a lasting impression that is hard to fight. LOL. I'll get over it, but if you saw the same pictures those many years ago, you would definitely understand why I have avoided it to date :) Mike (AB7ZU) On 8/17/2012 7:42 AM, ZR wrote: Using PVC pipe and their matching T's there is no need of tiewraps.

Re: Topband: Threading radials
ZR, Bruce and Bob, thanks for your info. There's the problem. I was using the white ones and didn't know the black ones are UV resistant. I'll check those out. I learned a lesson a long time ago here, after I used big black tie-wraps on all my cables on towers. I have white ties and ropes that are still good after 14 years, and black that fell apart after a few years. While black color generally slows degradation down, black does not mean UV stabilized or even UV resistant. :-) If you want UV resistant, buy something that is UV resistance material or has UV inhibitors, no matter what color. 73 Tom ___ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw?
