If you have never tried WSPR or watched the WSPR Map then you are missing a
great beacon tool for openings and RF paths.
WSPR is a beaconing tool and I have used it very successfully as a
propagation tool.

Cheap power supplies lack mains input filtering at the PCB, that is, at
least one mixed or common mode inductor, three or four capacitors, a
couple of resistors.
The best ones also add a similar filter between mains chassis socket and
the PCB.

Hi Fred,
When I moved to upstate NY 25 years ago I put up 3 beverages ranging in length
from 300-350'. That was the max length I could fit on my property. They had
directivity and some F/B. I should add I am using these receive antennas for
160M. My 80M wire 4-sq always seemed to outperform my r

Hi,
One solution is to use batteries. Charge the batteries while you are
*NOT* using the radios and noisy power supplies won't interfere (unplug
those rascals). I am using a combination of batteries and old fashioned
'iron' chargers. There is no power line crud conducted into my radios
and no
I have now tossed all my Amateur switching supplies (almost). The older
they got, the noisier they got.
The last one to go was the Alinco DM-330V. I really liked this as a bench
supply, but its time has come.
It was bad on 160M and even bad on 6M. I replaced it with an old iron

One more I forgot. I have 2 bikes and I have battery tenders on them. These
things make lots of noise all the way up to 40m.Battery Tender is the brand. I

I second the power supply as well. I used
to build a computer with every new
generation of chip that came out and found
the cheaper supplies were usually noisy.
There's several good brands today & the
last one I used was either an Antec 700W
or OCZ 700W. I can't recall which but both

On CW? If so, nice!
I was up trying to find their CW sigs this
morning from 11:45 on & nothing here in

time but couldn't pick up who they were
calling.

Couldn't hear anything from H40TT but heard the horde calling so guess he
was there. Not a whisper from VK9CZ, but did hear RT0F who peaked out of
the noise at my sunrise and that gave me a new country and zone for 160m.
Antenna is inverted L with 70ft vertical. Many radials...

I have an HP laptop charger that sings like mad. Interestingly enough I have

Does anyone know why Tony does not show any CW contacts ( 160 or
otherwise) in his Online ( club-log) Log? The FT8 & FT4 confirmations
are there but no CW. I have asked him a couple of times about it and he
ignores the question ...odd
