Hello,
Yes, there is an SSB net each Sunday morning on twenty meters.
However, I am not sure of the time or the frequency. Can someone with
better information please help Mr. Bridge? I seem to remember it's
around 10 AM my time (PST).

Robert,
That depends on what you want to achieve. If it is more gain broadside
(perpendicular to the antenna) then the answer is yes. On 80 meters the
160 meter elements alone will be Two Halfwaves in Phase and will have 2
to 3 dB of gain broadside to the antenna.
Of course, that gain

Only a few more weeks before the sun turns the corner and starts
moving again. That means I think I have found the proper times for the

seemed to have OK propagation. Nothing fantastic but quiet and
The 80 / 40 M fan dipole fed with 300 ohm transmitting line {The Wireman
#562} and then use the balun at the point where the feed line enters the
house would be preferable. That configuration reduces the weight of
the balun on the antenna. From the balun to the station, use a good

Ron...
Would such an antenna cut for 80m, fed with ladder-line, and used on
40m, be a better performer on either band than an 80-40m fan dipole fed
with 72ohm coax? Leaving all other extraneous but influencing parameters
aside. I have the second antenna; the weight of all that wire and the

Don is of course correct in his reference to the antenna actually being an
"extended double zepp" using the dimensions in my example.

Ken and all,
More correctly if the terminology of hams is to be deemed correct, it is
a "Double Extended Zepp". The radiator each side of center is 5/8
wavelength long (at 20 meters). The 32' 300 ohm ladder line is for
impedance transformation. It does provide some broadside gain on 20
Ian,
I would believe that all the "I's are not dotted and T's not crossed for
the website links and FTP site.
The new website has caused a bit of a stir at Elecraft and the 'kinks'
are being ironed out daily.
Wait a bit and it should be corrected.

Ware you using the K3 Utility to Copy New Files From Elecraft button? Mine
just updated. You don’t have to chase down the files on Elecraft site.

Anyway, even if it is a standard new firmware, it is not available for
download with the Elecraft K3 Utility.
Is there any problem?

The EZNEC+ model I did showed the same thing ... the two lower wires had
to be much longer than I expected in order to get even a moderate SWR.
The pattern looked awful even when I did so.

Good morning listers,

thanks for any advice. Looking forward for my kx3 arriving next
While in Ecuador I tried this skeleton discone. Did not work well.
Actually I had to extend the lower wires from formulas by about 30 %
to get a low <3 swr at design freq, 40 meters. I did not try adding more
wires.
I had several good antennas I made so I did not do further investigations.

G'day Eric,
CONFIG > KPA rotate VFO A knob from PA nor and select Fn1, Fn2, Fn3 or
Fn4 for increasing constant fan speed.
It is sticky and survives a power cycle.
At a glance there doesn't appear to be a command for this in the
programmer's Reference.
The fans only draw outside air
My dual-band inverted-V is 45 foot high at apex and 20-feet high at
ends. Years ago read this would make a good NVIS antenna. Its a fan
type dipole with about six inches spread at ends. 40m bandwidth is
narrower than a separate dipole. I have the longer legs tuned for
3900 KHz so to work
Has there been any thought given to adding a fan control command to the K3/K3S?
It would be nice to get some cool air inside the radio after repeated
extended digital transmissions below 12 watts. The radio gets very warm.
