Re: Topband: Phased Short Beverages

My property is similar, sloping away from the house to maybe 40’ below in all directions. I wonder how much of an issue that is with a 4 square. The property is about 300 x 300 square so there is no real room for any beverages. The 4 square would be sitting maybe 25’ below the high point (SE

Re: Topband: Wednesday CW DX Activity Night

They report lots of noise down there. 160 operation must be a nightmare. 73, Bill WE5P Comfortably Numb > On Nov 19, 2020, at 13:13, Thomas Hoyer via Topband > wrote: > > Would be interested in hearing (no pun intended) what type of antenna you, > or anyone heraing the 7q7, are using >

I hope we see the ON4UN join the Stew Perry on the 160M contest menu someday soon! Such a legend. 73, Bill WE5P Comfortably Numb > On Nov 11, 2020, at 12:32, ON4WW_pandora wrote: > >  >> >>> ... family would like to see these many messages >>> ... Please be sure to copy the email address

Re: Topband: 160m QSO W7RH/DL8LAS

When we worked you were right at the noise level but about 5 minutes later you had built to a solid 559. Thanks for hanging in there with me. I’m running a GAP Voyager without an RX antenna. Just enough to function on top band :-). 73, Bill WE5P Comfortably Numb > On Sep 10, 2020, at 01:17,

Re: Topband: Spectrum
