Re: Topband: V73D question

Art, According to http://earthdirections.org/locate/ the Marshall Islands are about 286 degrees from Michigan. (16 degrees north of due west.) That doesn't necessarily indicate that their signal was coming directly from that azimuth. 73, Mike www.w0btu.com On Fri, Oct 23, 2015 at 12:54 PM, Art

Topband: V73D question

I am curious what beam heading (for lack of a better term), you received them at this morning. I was unable to copy them on my SW BOG or on the Inv L, but had pretty decent copy on my OCF antenna at 50ft. The ends of the OCF are E/W. 73 Art NK8X Michigan ᐧ _ Topband Reflector

How well are they hearing central and eastern North America on 160? http://v73d.mydx.de doesn't list any RX antennas. 73, Mike www.w0btu.com On Fri, Oct 23, 2015 at 2:18 PM, Kenneth Grimm wrote: > I copied them briefly at sunrise in Virginia. The only beverage I could > hear

Re: Topband: V73D question

From that page: "...the problem is a high man made noise ... That means we are hearing not good and are not happy about so many signals just in the noise. That means your signal must be over this noise. The noise level from 160 to 30 m is never better than S5 noise, on 80 m extremely bad with

Re: Topband: V73D question

Art, V73D was in for a long time this morning from roughly 1100GMT to 1145GMT here in eastern VA. Signal reception was roughly from the west. They are clearly having difficulty with RX. Best luck to you . I hope you work them. 73, Tom WA2BCK -Original Message- From: Art Snapper

Thanks for the reminder JC.    Remember. 160 meters was not included in most ham gear not so long ago. It's a gift we should treasure.   73 Bruce-k1fz   BOG antenna notes have been updated at a new address.   www.qsl.net/k1fz/bogantennanotes.html     On Fri, 23 Oct 2015 08:57:38 -0400,

Re: Topband: V73D question

This morning I could hear them S5-6 on 80M and worked them there but they were clearly having trouble hearing. On 160M I couldn't hear them at all although I heard stations calling them around 1015UTC. Their web site says they have high noise levels on 80 and 160 from the resort hotel they are.

Re: Topband: V73D question

V73D best heard today (and most previous days) on SW setting on my K9AY loop. SP beam heading from my central California QTH to V7 is 267 degrees. V73D TB signals this AM (Friday) were light. I have listened to V73D on TB most days since they first came on. I can not recall a single day when
