Some words are being misunderstood and mis-used. Polarization describes the geometric orientation of the antenna and the resulting EM field. Polarity is the positive or negative going sense of voltage or current in a circuit (what for decades we mistakenly called "in phase/out of phase).

Dave AB7E, I have been doing something similar with my K3 with subRx: I feed signals from two antenna that are orthogonally polarized (one is horz and other is Vert polarity, both pointed in the same direction and essentially in-phase). I use the eme sw MAP-65 to process the output of both Rx

Yes we were running about that rate on cw up here in Oregon. 4A 5w on our KX3s. Some of the visiting new hams had never seen real cw with a paddle (!) in action. We had 3 antennas-ZL special,2 element 40m wire beam and a rhombic switchable open/closed loop for either 20 or 80. They were all

As was explained very carefully to us last fall before the election with that proposal, it would take a change in an international agreement for CA to go on full-time DST, so don’t hold your breath. Now, it that wasn’t true, it definitely wouldn’t be the first time the Sacramento politicians

I have a fully provisioned K3 with some of the K3s upgrades. I have the P3 with transmit sensor and SVGA additions. A few years ago I had it serviced and everything is working nicely. By now I am comfortable with operation and I have figured out how to tune things up for maximum performance.

Very good review and information Doug. Thanks for taking the time to do it. I too will be ordering a K4, probably in the second production run. I may wait until the super het version is available. Alan K7FH > On Jun 26, 2019, at 11:01 AM, Doug Turnbull wrote: > > Dear OMs and YLs, >

Thanks to all who took the time to suggested a different category for me on FD but I was 1B - battery operating in my backyard with the KX-2 running 5 watts and not using my regular station in the basement. The antenna for the day (end-fed 40-20-10) was set up on the Saturday and the only AC
