Hi AllArgentinaian stations are hard to work indeed from VK2. After 12 months
on Topband I did finally work LU8DPM on 28 July 18.73Adrian VK2WF

I have heard Manuel a couple of times, just, but VK3 to anywhere east of the
west coast of South America is difficult.
Thankfully, I do have one QSO confirmed with him from two years ago.
As far as regulars heard, I would have to mention AA1K, N0FW and K4IQJ,
amongst others. At the very
Top-band email test please ignore.
Thank you

It's much more useful to think of RX loop antennas as having directivity rather
than "gain." The full size flag has a rather broad pattern of around +/- 60
degrees so that it can be pointed to improve SNR vs directly towards the
heading of interest. If a pre-amp increases the signal and noise
But that gain is in the vicinity of small pennants, f;ags and others.
I often use smaller loops and flags with a preamp. At 160 and nearby, I believe
my preamps (Clifton Labs, ARR etc) have goodenough IM and NF properties to not
affect results in a negative way.
Having said that, the
does anyone remember the sked between ZL and W6KIP(??) back in the 60s? I can not recall any details,
but I do remember hearing Alex (W6KIP???) every night during my very early years on top band. That's
when the band was severely limited in frequencies and power & we got to listen to LORAN.
good work, don and manuel !

I often saw your spots, but the hours were just awful for me in AZ. Too late to
stay up late, too early to get up early.
I am reminded of some skeds that W7UBI (SK) and I ran on another part of the
spectrum, 2-meters, on meteor scatter in 1978-1979 For over a year we did a
half-hour skeds
Congrats on the 95 percent success rate.
This reminds me of the QSOs VE7SB (I think I remember that call right) and
VK3ZL did. They managed to make QSOs like everyday for over a year I
believe. Someone else on the list might remember the details better than I
can.

On Thu, Aug 2,
For those of you that have been getting up early each morning to listen for
LU5OM, just wanted to let you know that we have reached the end of our year
long test. Manuel (LU5OM) and I (WD8DSB) are pretty worn out getting up
almost every morning (0845 UTC) for one year. Manuel will still continue
I currently have installed a 8 circle array by DXE. It works fine. It
is built for 40/80/160 with the 50 ft radius as that is about all the
space I have. I find a rarely if ever need it on 40m so I was curious
if a wider spaced 4 sq for rcv would out perform the circle enough to
really
I would not use any inductance unless the tower naturally resonates above
1800 kHz. If I were going to use a cage for the gamma connection, I would
make a small cage that would only be on one side of the tower. I find that
the shield of old coax spaced a couple of feet from the tower works fine. I
I built a LoG antenna last year and evaluated it. Most of the claims
for the performance of this antenna are in error. I posted the summary
of performance here:

I will copy that message below, so you don't have to go
I recently installed a 2 element 40-meter beam and a 4 element 20-meter
beam on top of a 90-foot tower which I use for TX on Topband. The tower is
cage fed with a 3-wire cage spaced24 inches around the tower, I am able to
get 1.2 to 1 on 1845 by putting about 1200 pf and a 500 pf fixed HV cap to
tnx I'll look at that

David,
The NEC-4.2 engine appears to give very good results with buried and
close-to-ground wires (the NEC-4.1 engine compares favorably, too). It is
instructive to read N6LF's July/August 2016 QEX article on his modeling
efforts with buried and close-to-ground wires.
You can get Rudy's article
I am at a loss to know how to model it with any confidence, for wires close
to or on the ground.
