Any build is always a learning process, so I think I’ll hang on to it ‘just in case’. You never know where we might end up !

Thanks Den 😊. I fear this may not be the most effective £50 I’ve spent ! I’ll finish the build though – what else can I do with a ferrite the size of a door stop 😂 You’re right, the train line is not

I’d seen Ian GM3SEK’s 2019 lecture but never got around to buying the big ferrite – his ‘problem solver’ ! However, Dom’s email and Simon’s comments prompted me to get the parts to build the complete

Was anything ever so inappropriately named ? If we have to consult a table of calculated wire lengths to determine how long our non-resonant, end-fed wire antenna needs to be, then it’s length is anyt

Hi Dom, many thanks for your thoughts and experiences. Your EFLW is exactly the sort of antenna that I had in my mind – but I have to confess that as I started to read the email, I did wonder “why is

Many thanks Viv, those comments are really interesting and it’s helpful to just go round a train of thought, as you’ve reminded me of some issues that I’d let slip. This is a rented house that we’re i

Viv, am I right, the 100 Pro is not a remote tuner – it has to be used in the shack? For a non-resonant antenna, with potential swr much greater than 3:1 (that the rig can handle anyway) I’d assumed i

Many thanks Viv. Yes, I think flexibility is one of the main benefits of the LDG tuner – just use the appropriate balun/unun. I wonder if the coax feed would have been more efficient if the tuner had

Hi all, Does anyone use a remote automatic antenna tuner? I’m assuming to feed an end-fed non-resonant long wire or perhaps a non-resonant doublet with open wire feeder. I’m imagining using one to end

Some fantastic results there, congratulations to everyone. I too dipped in and out, not sure how many hours, certainly less than 10, my results were: QSO’s: 53 DXCC: 32 Zones: 10 I’ll just be submitti

Graham, you’ve solved the problem – thank you ! You are absolutely right, the answer lies in the help pages with the words: If you have received DXCC award credit by submitting QSL cards for QSOs made

Hi Graham, many thanks. I’m afraid to say that I did exactly what you have described. I did Part 1 and clicked continue. Part 2 said … So I clicked the ‘link it’ and got … I entered my call sign and h

Hey Marc, Thanks for that and well done on 98, you’ve probably got 2 in the pipeline waiting for an upload from the other stations. I thought that I already have a DXCC account – in fact, it was creat

Hi all, I’m delighted to have just achieved my first 100 LoTW confirmed DXCC entities – yes, it’s the Mixed category and most are by FT8, but, hey, it’s a start! I’m now starting on ARRL’s tortuous pa

… me too ! ☹ I’ve changed the password now though 😊

Matt, have you used your membership number as your password? It appears that I have, and so it looks as though the password is printed on the cover sheet whereas in fact it is the membership number. D

Yes, mine arrived as well ! I’ll re-set the expected date 😊 Cheers all. David

Thanks Den & Mike. Maybe I’m ahead of myself ?! Cheers David

Cheers James. 73

Hi everyone, Has the October issue of RadCom been received yet? I'm sure I've usually received mine by now. Many thanks and 73 David G7IXU
