There is where you and I would have to disagree. I think the BC1-T has to

I recently restored a Gates BC-1T and it has been a great rig on 160. No
special modification was necessary to go all the way up to 1985 kHz. It was
already tuned near the top of the broadcast band, 1590 kHz, so I just retuned

I completed 3 contacts between 6:45 and 7:30 central time this evening. They

Counting my contact from yesterday, it's been a long time since I made 4 AM

I'll check both 10 and 15 after work on Monday to see if I

Thanks Jim,
I wonder if your buddy in Mountain Home
is using the coil option or the 40 meter stub (MK-160)
option?
Thanks,
Rick/K5IZ
Don't know for sure Rick.

It seems like I've seen or read info about such antenna for top band.
Thanks for the info. I hope to get this hy-tower up, it's been in the crate
for a couple of years! Yep.. Procrastination plus!
Thanks,

Cool! That's basically what the MK-160 (not the coil) option does. I think
the wire for the option is a little over 100 feet, but I might be able to go
split the wires due to space like you suggested. I may have more questions
about the shunt feed and how you think it might affect the other band

Thanks Jim,
The manual states when using the optional 160 meter coil not to exceed 150
watts output power or 300 watts pep. With the MK-160 modification, which
requires over 100 feet of horizontal wire attached to the top it will then
handle 1500 pep watts. Of course, it will handle legal limit
If I wanted to use the Hy-Tower on 160m at 1500 w p.e.p.
there could be two alternative choices:
1) I would just leave off that coil and add a top section as a
capacity hat to increase the effective length of the radiator to
where it can reach 2 Mega-sickles. You could experiment with a
horizon
There is no reason the Butternut won't work Rick, however it
will be band narrow. Put as many radials under it as
possible and see what happens. 4 is very marginal, but will
work, 8 is just a bit better, 16 is getting better, 32 is
adequate and 64 is OK.
The Hytower is a good antenna too, b
It seems this was discussed a while back, but I need some updated info. Has
anyone used a Hy-Gain Hy-Tower vertical on 160 meter AM? I have tried every
way in the world to come up with some kind of wire for 160, but I simply
don't have the room. I have a Hy-Tower vertical that is still in the cr
Some of these new CE's like the sandstate stuff. They can be lazy and swap
modules if it fails. The local AM station used that excuse.

This thread reminds me of the article that appeared in the local
newspaper this week, explaining that the local AM radio station's
absence from the airwaves was only temporary, due to a transmitter
problem that "couldn't be fixed because parts for the transmitter are no
longer available".It
