The deadline is the 25th of this month. Just 17 more days left. Even if you
have zero interest on what goes on above 1850 kHz, it is still crucial to get
this passed. In the albeit unlikely but finite possibility that radiolocation
beacons will ever return, it would impact all users of the ba
A source for copper radial wire is old transformers and chokes that many may
have in storage areas. In general wire removal is easier from chokes, but
both can be rewarding. Use the suitable wire for radials, and maybe sell the
remaining copper to a junk yard.

I'm starting to think about antenna work this summer and one of the items on my
list of improvements is my 160M capability. I have 2 150' towers on my property
that are 192' apart and lined up at about a 39 degree azimuth. I was planning
on building a phased array of inverted L's 255' apart (1/
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for pointing that out. I'm sure 60% copper clad aluminum will work just

Be advised that the wire in the Ebay listing is Copper Clad Aluminum. The fine

While I'd have no qualms about using it for my seasonal, above ground radials,
some of you with higher standards and deeper pockets may prefer all copper.
