Topband: Strange 160m intruder

I have been observing an intruder whose behavior is unlike anything I have seen before. It consists of a comb spectrum of CW tones in the 160m band. They pulse on and off at a regular interval. There is never any form of identification transmitted by it. Thanks to my Elecraft P3 panadapter,

Re: Topband: Topband Digest, Vol 160, Issue 25

For what it is worth, I have a Pixel up and running and several 200 foot terminated bogs. The Pixel is not a bad antenna but it will not beat a properly cut and terminated BOG on 160M. My Pixel has been in operation for 2 years and the BOGS the same. The Pixel is mounted about 5 feet above the

Re: Topband: Pixel vs BOG

On the vidhe says the Pixel is 30' high. That is too high. My Pixel is nowhere near that noisy. It is 7' high located in the clear. 73 David Harmon K6XYZ Sperry, OK -Original Message- From: Topband [mailto:topband-boun...@contesting.com] On Behalf Of Kenneth Grimm Sent: Monday,

Re: Topband: Pixel vs BOG

Hi Ken, Small diameter "magnetic" loops such as the Pixel can be very effective in nulling a single vertically polarized local RFI source, fortunately most local RFI sources are vertically polarized. Their deep narrow beamwidth null is also very useful for determining the location of an RFI

Re: Topband: Pixel vs BOG

Wow! The BOG blows the Pixel loop away. The loop sounds like my vertical! I wonder if there might be a feedline problem? Surely the loop isn't meant to be that noisy. 73, Ken - K4XL On Mon, Apr 25, 2016 at 9:55 AM, K1FZ-Bruce wrote: > Mixed reviews. > > Pixel loop
