Topband: Ground screen question

Topbanders, I searched the archives under "ground screen" and could not find info on my situation. I have a 15 foot by 70 foot, 6 inch thick concrete parking slab along side our house. My tower is about 15 feet away from the side of the slab. I am planning radials to extend out from the

Re: Topband: Carrier on 1814.0 kHz

Hello John and top banders. I have been hearing what appears to be the same on/off carrier transmission. I also hear one up near 1830 at the same time. The same slow CW tones. I believe these transmissions to be a form of QRSS or Very slow CW. We had an offending signal we thought was a stuck

Topband: an antenna problem

i normally run a half wave inverted L, 125 up and 125 out. with our great winds here in the pac north west this December, my inverted L got caught in a tree about 50 feet from the supporting tree i cannot pull the wire down from either end. two options: 1)take the far end and add a bit (60 feet)
