Hi Lou, Of all the sources of unique help and info about 160 meters, IMO this reflector is the best one. I suppose you've found the searchable archives, which I've found invaluable many times:
lists.contesting.com/archives//html/Topband/ lists.contesting.com/archives//cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?idxname=Topband There are other sources, notably ON4UN's Low Band DXing, published by the ARRL. Everyone with an interest in 160m should own a copy. There are a number of other informative web sites out there, too. I have some of them listed and linked to from www.w0btu.com (not all on one page, sorry). And there's a page there about Beverage antennas there that you might find useful. Maybe you would let me pick your brain sometime about my swamped-grid dual-833C legal limit amp. It works fine on 160 and 80, but it needs neutralizing if it's going to be stable on 40 (and work at all on 20). I have a plan to neutralize it using a tertiary winding on the input transformer, but I foresee a lot of trial and error. But I don't have time to work on that right now. I wasn't even sure if two of those triodes in parallel would even work, so I didn't spend a lot of time making it look pretty. www.w0btu.com/833C_linear_amplifier.html Stick around, Lou. Believe it or not, this is usually a friendly forum! 73, Mike www.w0btu.com On Sat, Jan 16, 2016 at 9:31 AM, Louis Parascondola via Topband < [email protected]> wrote: > I came to the group to try to pick up pointers on improving my 160 meter > experience.
