Battery connectors ???
Does anyone know if Tim O'Rourke still has the miniature battery connectors with pigtails as mentioned in the FAQs ? There's no mention of an e-mail address for Tim. I'd like to find out if anyone

Re: WPX Contacts...
I too had similar experiences.... not as many contacts because I didn't spend as much time... using a G5RV up about 50 feet.... contacts were always exciting.... been using qrp over the past 30 years

Re: Best filter for PSK
please note, that with the optional CW- Filter installed and using PSK31-U with NAR filter on, you are most likely NOT TRANSCEIVE ! I mean, that bandpass is offset by about -200Hz, when switching NAR

Re: An MP-1 that is very hot
I think this is a good starting point. After trying with radials of different lengths, I tried the MP-1 with the steel tape measure counterpoise I used with the ATX. I managed to get good SWR on all

Re: Pictures ...
On the Elecraft list recently a couple of postings didn't rate the Outbacker much at all, especially when considering its price. Just goes to show how subjective people's opinions of antenna

Re: At least one MP-1 which is not so hot.
Gene, dont forget this points: 1. The PM-1 will result in a 2-3 S-Units lower signal compared to a dipol in good shape. If you produce a "just above noise" signal with a dipol, you will not be heard

Re: At least one MP-1 which is not so hot.
Gene -- an MP-1 has its place, but as you learned, it has its limitations! Maybe if it had been 20 feet off the ground, the results would've been better. It would really be fun to have an antenna

Chalktenna
I was intrigued with W3VET's idea of making a roll-up antenna out of a chalkline. So when I spotted them on sale for $2.99 at the local hardware store I just had to give it a try. Here's the

Re: An MP-1 that is very hot
Hi Bonnie, Yes, I find the B&W AP-10A works somewhat better than the MP-1. The B&W antenna is more efficient than the MP-1 (Q of B&W coil (length to diameter ratio = 2) is higher than for the

Re: Best filter for PSK
With PSK31, the real bandwidth you use is set by the DSP filters in the soundblaster-based PSK31 software you use. The reaso for using a narrower bandwidth filter is to reduce the clutter & intermod
