So let me interpret. KK6ZM contacted you and by doing so all is well.
I don't agree. It would take much more than a contact to make it well
again.
So is that all that took place? Or are you hiding the details. Or are
you
at fault?

It was interesting to me this morning to listen to the K1N operation attempt to
put into their log some JA contacts.
For approximately one hour before their sunup the K1N operator was making calls
for JA only.
The first time he tried, he did not pick up any JA. But, I heard some JA
calling.
Eddie, you beat me to it! :-)
Just one person out of line on 160. I know that's one person too many, but
compare that to the breathtakingly insane level of deliberate QRMing of K1N
on the other bands!

Andy,
The Clifton Labs Norton and the RPA-1 are both Push-pull designs and thus
have high +80dBm second order intercepts. This is essential to avoid BCB
mixing products affecting TB.
Single ended amplifiers like the W7IUV may need some pre BCB filtering.

Art, from what I’ve read, I understand that the non-vertical part of the
Inverted L does not have to be completely horizontal - it can slope with little
detriment to it’s radiation pattern. I have two - one for 80 and one for 160.
Both of ‘em slope away from the top support.

One of the best things to happen to me is my K3 and my logging
program, the pair are among the worst as well. The K3 remembers the
settings I was at when I switch bands, I count on this, my logging
program is the Loki in this.
If I click on a spot I see in my logging program look at the
If the KK6ZM story is fact, then he did what I would have done based on the

Perhaps the REAL problem began with the guys in the chat room urging him on

I recall VP6DX at Ducie Island was using two ways to fight dQRM; slightly
moving TXQRG up/dwn which brought difficulties to the jammers to follow; QSX
up 4 and then dwn 5 for example. Those who did not copy could hardly call at
the right QRG.
I spent a lot of time listening and I found

for many years i used the Palomar preamp. it worked well in the presence of a
50kw AM station on 1550khz. though it may be of older design and there are
better pre-amps available it may be available at reasonable cost.
good luck.

He's not the only one. I worked them last night -- not very loud,

Eddy, Mike, Doug, and Len,
I have been contacted by KK6ZM and all is well.
There is no need for further comments.
RE your question , Len, that is correct. Only the DX operator can make the
decisions which are necessary to mitigate what ever circumstance. It is up to
the rest of us to honor

For the most part, NA stations stood by and allowed the process to go
forward. However, one station in particular, even after being asked by K1N

Hi Jim,
That has to be CARDINAL SIN #1 if you're a DX-peditioner, as it's YOU who calls
the shots, and
The most important part of an inverted L is the counterpoise, be it raised
radials, buried or on-ground radials or an FCP. Be sure you can do a
counterpoise well. Otherwise the counterpoise can be a huge RF loss, easily
negating anything done well with the L wire itself.
Next the vertical part of
Why not call around 0700Z after the

I got up last night for my nightly bathroom ritual and just for grins
listened to 160. They were calling CQ and I worked them on 2 calls. Not many
trying to get them. This was 1035Z.

as a matter of courtesy i sent KK6ZM a personal email suggesting that his

I have been looking at locations on my property to install an Inverted L
for 160.
How important is it for the top part to be led away at a right angle?
I was considering running it vertically 80ft, then about 25 feet at a 45
degree up angle and 25 feet at a 45 degree down angle, over the top of
25 matches
