I called twice but I guess he didn't hear me. Also heard the station from Cumbria running 25 watts, but again only a few dB over the noise. I actually could hear better on my 10m dipole. Signals were lower but the noise was even less. No chance of transmitting into that, though.
All rigs had very clear audio that made it possible to copy despite the poor S/N ratio (no doubt the K3 RX helped.) I have come to the conclusion that the slinky dipole is useless. I would like to try a loaded dipole but I don't have the time to make one at the moment, also I don't have an antenna analyzer so making one would be a bit tricky. It would need to be no more than about 40 feet end to end to fit into my attic without doubling back. Anyone know of something like that which is commercially available? All I could find was the G3OJV 80plus2 which is just over 50 feet long, and I am not sure if it would fit, or work, in my attic. ----- Julian, G4ILO http://www.g4ilo.com/ G4ILO's Shack http://www.ham-directory.com/ Ham Directory -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/UK-Elecraft-net--tp676986p683856.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
