Joy, about painting; Any kind of enamel will work to protect the fiberglass rods from UV. Go to OSH and get a big can of their brand spray black enamel. Gloss or flat, your choice; heck you can use

Paul, The way my "MacLogger DX" logging program works is, it gives you a spreadsheet like list of spots from its spot cluster. When I select a spot from this list, it tunes the radio to the selected

Joy, Old-school since it went up 30 years ago 73, Eric NF6S ex WD6DBM ?

I use the makers rotor controllers.? One less cable, plus computer to configure. Besides, the computer logger can't guess what station you are trying to work until you are ready to log the QSO.? On

Do you just use the controller that comes with the rotor to exclusivity rotate your antenna, or do you add a third party box that allows you to have the computer control your rotor with your logging

I plan to be there for lunch but I will have to leave afterwards. Joy

If you are having problems with the bands, so are the hams on Mars. It appears that even ET8 has been affected. Here is probably the reason. Epic solar storm effects seen by Mars rovers

I plan to be at the Baylands starting with lunch. Hope to see many of you. Hiroki AH6CY

I wouldn't discourage you from adding it. If it shorts, it's easier to replace than a FET, cheaper too. --Jeff [email protected]> wrote:

I've been in chester the past several weeks, and the blustery winds kept me from putting up antennas.? The road thru lassen is not yet plowed, so no hf or vhf ops for me.?? As Cliff mentioned,

Last Saturday during the VHF contest I heard some ops on 2m QSY to 6m, fm, 52.525. so that's 2. Otherwise, yeah all the action is FT8, 50.313. no CW, SSB, AM. Shame, waste of 4MHz. Contest wise, the

And can anyone give me a reason not to install the diode?? I'm trying to learn

The diode is between drain and source on fet.? Source is ground.can you explain why it works??

There are two different mechanisms for reverse breakdown in diodes: zener and avalanche.? Generally diodes with low reverse breakdown are in the zener mode and diodes with higher breakdown voltages

It gets back to the question: is the Avalanche Breakdown characteristic of the FET more delicate than that of a 1 watt zener. Maybe the 1 watt zener is tougher than the FET. Counterintuitive results

The zener in the video is connected across the FET, between source and drain. That zener is definitely not subjected to RF AC output voltage. [email protected]> wrote:

Doesn't Hiroki's video disprove that?

There's another possibility: the zener is so weak, it blows open the instant the transmitter comes on. [email protected]> wrote:

Here is an empirical proof to show how a single 1N4756 zener diode actually protects against high SWR. I ordered a bag of 10 1N4756As. I won’t need all of them. Anyone who needs one would be welcome

There are pictures of both rigs with diode installed at the beginning of this thread.
