Roger,
Thank you forthe sad news.
David will really be missed. His signal was always tops.

Aside from 160 meters, David was my first G and second European
qso on 6 meters , back in 2006
Not too long ago I had a real nice long chat with him...
His voice still rings within me ...

So put you're receive antenna hat on. We suspect the ground is the
problem. We are located on the shore of Victoria Lake at a resort. The
soil appears to be sandy but with fresh water lake nearby. 200 feet. The
beverage is in the clear away from large metal objects.

This topic has been covered before on this list. I believe that my recent
experience is also worth reporting.
After over a decade of operating on 160m, I'd never experienced any significant
problems with BC carriers other than very weak carriers on 1810, 1820, 1830,
1840 kHz etc. The greater
Hello... B-4 the upcoming contest weekend. I need to make a 1/4 wave shorted
stub for my 160 station. Other then RG8 or RG11 can you use RG6 ? Wayne,

Frank - the Magic T's were one of the changes as well as using a switching

opportunity to try it out and do some comparisons. We can discuss these

0730 UTC, insomnia and DX overstimulation to the brain, I was on TB and I
worked ZL1BYZ (thanks for new DX, John, #93 on TB).
My first ever ZL on 160 (heard or worked). John was solid, S8 on peaks on
the HiZ (which helped cut down the t-storm static). And John was working EU

I have the same issues here. And the similar observation - filtering before

If you need VU on 160 look for VU2BGS at his sunrise. He just installed a new
FCP Inv L antenna. He told me that the FCP has made a big difference in being
heard in Eu and over the pole to NA. I notice that N0FW spotted him at 0028Z
yesterday morning. He apologizes for not being able to
I bought a similar deal from them about 3 years ago, great for Beverage and

I have been wondering if the antenna element in phased arrays could be a loop
rather than a vertical. My thinking is that the loop has some level of
directivity so phasing two of them should result in better side lobe
suppression compared to a vertical. Is there any merit to this thought?
So here we go, The first VU2 I've ever heard on TopBand and I can
hear him faintly but clearly.

Hi Dave
Greetings from Western Australia!
I had a number of contacts on 160m with Paul Wyse 5X4F during the later half of
the 1990s. Paul had a great signal on 160m with only a 240’ dipole at 36’, fed
with open wire, and 100W from a TS450S. He had no separate receiving antenna
but could hear
A question to the informed masses.
A year or so ago I purchased some wireless remote control, 8 relay, modules
from some source on E-Bay.
Obviously at the time the units appealed to me, and apparently the price was
right because I purchased 10 of them.
Well, they have sit in the USPS shipping
Hello Rudy,
I am using a pair of VE3DO loops in a phased array for 160 meters. The two
loops are spaced 5/8 wavelength (at 1830 KHz) apart at K3LR - aimed at
45/225 degrees (a DPDT relay selects the direction for each loop).
The VE3DO loops are simple to construct and work very well. The in
