Good Evening,
Both bands were weak and unstable, here one minute, gone the next.
However, QSB improved signals enough to copy some of what you were
sending. I was switching from one antenna to the other. I could hear
better on one and you could hear better on the other. Roy remarked on
I buy all my hook up wire from All Electronics in the L.A. area. But I don't do
super special type of electronics, just general stuff. I wind almost all my
antenna toroids with their wire. Mike n6zw

Thank you, real good information. We need more info such as this.

Hi,
I use the M22759 series for everything I build both at my home shop and lab at
work, a large defense related company.
It's inexpensive and Teflon insulation.
I bought 2000 ft of #18 last week for work and it's right at 12 cents a foot.
It doesn't melt when you solder to it and is easy to
If you want the best, super easy to solder and strip, there is M16878/4.
M16878/5 or M16878/6 Silver plated stranded Copper wire with Teflon
insulation. It is very expensive and I can't see where to buy small
quantities except on eBay where it may be sketchy. /4 is probably most
typical 600V

I had a problem w/ a chirp on one of my radios. It was a s/n 8xxx with the
old synthesizer. I first noticed "dead spots", primarily on 40 and 160.
These dead spots would be a specific point. There were several and they
were repeatable. I got some reports of bad chirps and figured out

That modification is by GM3SEK (about 2015).
Yes, I remember that, and it looked good.

Help:
My son has been having trouble with the quality of hook-up wire he's
able to buy for his projects. There's clearly a difference in vendors.
I'm sure Elecraft uses the best. Any help here?

In my design, you can make the changes to a steppir on a tower if you
can reach your passive 6M element. You don't have to order any
parts to make this work.
The GM3SEK modification can also be made "on the tower" as both the
new elements are less than 4 feet from the mast. Ian spent
There is always an ongoing discussion about this in the SteppIR forum on
groups.io. The key to making the SteppIR antennas anything more than
pathetic on 6M is adding a fixed reflector. Some in the group have modeled
and developed 6M antennas on the same boom that rival commercial monobanders
on
I added the 6M element and wasn't happy with the performance.
I remodelled it and I was able to improve a number of things and posted the
measurements on my QRZ page if you are interested.
Not only did it model better it performed better and loaded better as the
SWR was lower. A bunch of my

If you do not have the added 6 meter element it should be a worthwhile
addition. I think it makes the 3 element antenna
a 4 element antenna on 6 meters and greatly improves the F/B ratio and adds a
