Frank,
“Must” is a strong word. What goes wrong if you cross them?

Nice to hear all the comments, recommendations, and indeed some success
stories here. I too have a treadmill problem. Although I'm blessed with a
radio-friendly spouse who always asks before she starts it up, I'd like to
add a line filter. Ferrites on the cord don't by themselves squelch it.

Thanks to all for the comments. I will pass them along to Dale, who is not
on the reflector at this time.
(I need HH on 160 too!)

N3BNA and friends are "definitely going to Haiti," and have acquired a
300-foot tower in The States they plan to ship down and build there.
Details are not finalized. Once the tower is up, there will be

Interesting. On every other band from the West coast, south is usually
better. I've always blamed the auroral zone for that. I guess this is a
case of 160 once again showing its unique character.

I guess Jim must have missed the opening last January. On the 8th through
10th I put PA, S5, GD, SM, OH, LA, and TF in the log from Oregon - 4 new

Nice! Interesting that it took a couple days to reach you. Monday had the

On my 80 meter NTS net last evening (1830 local time) I noticed that the
critical frequency had dropped below 3.5 MHz. I could barely hear some
stations that were only 40 miles away and my neighbor Claire N7CM reported
that she heard no one but me. (No problem working 5T0SP, however, which

Yes, a good point that I neglected. This entirely circumvents my yammerings
about reciprocity. Reciprocity is a characteristic of a single pair of
ports in a network. Introducing separate receive antennas can surely cause
a one way effect. Consider what happens when I hook up a dummy load as a Rx

I'm weighing in with Tom here. The reciprocity theorem in electromagnetism
is well known, and it shows that no amount of focusing, defocusing,
scattering, refraction, or reflection will by themselves cause one way
propagation. If you take away the earth's magnetic field and its attendant

Which gives me an opening to air a pet peeve. NEVER when contesting (or
DXing) send a "K" after your call sign! Maybe not so bad for a 1x3 or 2x3

Heard you CQing 5 x 5 here in Oregon last night, Herb. I didn't have time to
get into the test this weekend so I was just having a quick listen to see
what was up. Can't fathom why you didn't get any answers.

Heh heh. Good one, Herb.
Adhering to ITU phonetics one should say "Romeo" but I've never heard that.

FJ/OH2YL was an easy new one for me the other morning about 0930. T31A also
