VE1PZ is a good friend of mine based out of Pictou, NS. ( I say based as at times he's had different houses and cottages in the region) He's never operated remote that I know of. Doug is a stand up guy and the word cheating is not in his vocabulary. I don't know his current stn setup, but

I see VE1PZ is one of the few that worked the E3! Who is he? I've never heard him on Top band. Is this another remote contact? 73, Roger _ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband

Dear friends, we are doing our best effort on the low bands. Being at the end of the rain season, there is a storm almost every day in the afternoon.The soil here is very dark and moist, often we need to tune the high band antennas as the resonance shifts according to water content.On low

Everything takes time. I have a great example of audio latency. Kitchen has television with direct cable input and family room has digital cable box with HDML to large screen LED set. When watching events, like superbowl, both sets might be on. It is highly obvious which television

It would be rare for an internet connection to be a single hop. I forget the command (something like tracert) but you can see the nodes where the connection goes. The number of hops is usually minimized as much as possible. The NYC to KP4 connection is a minimum of 3 hops most likely: NYC PC

Try an insulated wire, 66 meters long, on the ground (BOG antenna) If a transformer is not available, connect directly to the receiver auxillary antenna port. Signals will be weak, but noise should be much weaker. Hope this works, It is easy to try. 73 Bruce-K1FZ

Hi Alfeo On top band we use a inverted L and on 80m a vertical with a parasite reflector.We have the feeling that ous signal is strong enough I appreciate your effort on 160m, actually I am following you on you ban DX expeditions for few years and one thing I noticed is the lack of signal on

I am not sure what supplies that you have available in the Republic of Congo. A Pennant should fit in your operating area. It is pretty easy to build and it is not ground dependent. John KK9A To: topband@contesting.com Subject:Topband: 9Q0HQ From: alfeo...@tin.it alfeo...@tin.it

The flag, EWW, K9AY and others loaded loop antenna are indeed two non-resonant phased vertical phased 180 degree resulting in a cardioid pattern that provide directivity and a good F/B. When you have another resonant element nearby the interaction changes the pattern, depending on the new
