Re: Topband: Info wanted

The problem most likely is not the raised radials per se. That he does not have space for buried radials most likely means he also doesn't have space for full size, dense and uniform all around raised radials either. Without details, but after 5 years of hearing about what people have actually

Re: Topband: Info wanted

YES! With elevated radials, a good common-mode choke at the feedpoint is a must! I used a design from K9YC's RFI PDF. IIRC, about 6 turns of coax through 5 stacked 2.4" #31 cores. 73, Mike www.w0btu.com On Oct 17, 2017 3:52 PM, "S57AD" wrote: Common mode choke, and maybe

Common mode choke, and maybe a relay to disconnect feeder from inv L and raised radials. 73, Mirko, S57AD 2017-10-17 21:57 GMT+02:00 K1FZ-Bruce : > Have a friend that is getting noise from raised radials connected to his > inverted L antenna. > > He can not bury the

Topband: Info wanted

Have a friend that is getting noise from raised radials connected to his inverted L antenna. He can not bury the radials due to space problems. Are there any recent solutions to the problem.? Thank you in advance for your input. . 73 Bruce-k1fz _ Topband Reflector

Re: Topband: 3C0L

My station has not been configured for Topband for this season yet. All rx antennas are disconnected/removed and my inverted L has not been inspected yet. Usually the elevated radials need maintenance after the summer if the wire is still up. I saw 3C0L spotted for some time but did not

Re: Topband: 3C0L

I also heard 3C0L well before sundown and called for about 30 minutes. Realizing that he was only coming back to Europeans, who were undoubtedly much louder than I was considering that they were in full darkness and I wasn't. I watched TV for a while and when I heard them beginning to work the

Re: Topband: 3C0L

Great job by the 3C0L on 160. They logged about 900 Qs last night on 160. They started slow but picked up steam later. I can only imagine what that enormous pile must have sounded like on their end. Also started hearing them 1 hour before my sunset, although weak at that time. Later they

Tim, They were good copy here also one hour before sunset ! I am close to salt water, an inlet just down the hill to the south. One hour early is great propagation though. 73 Bruce-k1fz On Tue, 17 Oct 2017 09:48:01 -0400, Tim Shoppa wrote: 3C0L had superb signals on 160M last night and a

Re: Topband: 3C0L

I got them on 160 last night as well. They were loud but I was fighting significant QSB going between loud/solid copy and no copy at all within minutes. He may have come back to me once or twice but I wasn't sure due to a QSB fade, then another time someone tuned on top of him but it would

Re: Topband: 3C0L

I would agree on the huge pileup and very very poorly behaved.  I guess people still can't copy their own calls. He was decent copy and then would dive into the noise and come back.  I just got my 8 element circle back up but I am not sure it is operating right as sometime they were stronger

Topband: 3C0L

3C0L had superb signals on 160M last night and a ginormous pileup. Their signal started out an hour before my sundown, on my NE-facing K9AY loop, but began showing QSB there an hour after my sundown. I then checked and was surprised their signal was so much better on my transmit antenna. This is

Re: Topband: H40GC

Congrats Gary! I've worked H40GC twice now and he's good copy this morning an hour before local SR. The antenna is a still-in-work inverted-L with a too sparse radial field and no separate RX antenna.  Look at https://www.qrz.com/db/N7WS to see what I'm up against re: radials. Since early

Topband: H40GC

I've been getting up to try for them but they've been showing up later than I expected, after sunrise and as things worked out, I kept missing them. Heard them this morning and clearly, but they sounded like they went to KA1O & I'm KA1J. So I called again and QSB, couldn't hear a thing.
