Topband: Topband Phenomenon

2019-02-03 Thread Dan Atchison via Topband
During the CQ WW 160 CW contest a week ago while operating at the N1LN M/S station, I happened to be in a fantastic run of EU. On one and only one QSO, I worked a "G" station whose callsign's last suffix letter was at least 20dB stronger than the rest of his call.  I mentioned this to NR4M

If you cannot use radials laid on the ground, you could use at least two (ideally more) elevated radials loaded with inductors or the relatively new Folded Counterpoise (FCP);bhowever, the FCP requires a special antenna matching circuit. Huh? No matching network on my FCP antenna.
