If you want to build an active monopole, Chris Trasks "secret" design is far better and far more manageable than the AMRAD: http://www.home.earthlink.net/~christrask/Paper007.html I built this one with BFQ19+BQ149+J174+J310 all in SMD parts. (J270 is a better choice than J174 which tends to forward bias) With my primitive measurement methods, it was flat to 100 MHz and tapered off just short of 800MHz. In the other end it reliably pulls out the Russian ELF (OMEGA like) navigation system down around 10kHz. Chris mentioned that a kit might be underway, but I havn't seen any sign of it anywhere... -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 p...@freebsd.org | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
