Re: Elmer 101 SSDftra
Rob, I assume that it is copyrighted. However, I don't believe that any of the lessons ended up referencing it, so you are probably fine without it. It is a great resource and well worth the purchase.

Jerry...You will want to make sure you do 2x the skin depth if you use a strip...the rf will be on both sides if it is a single strip like mine. The lower the freq the thicker you have to go. I will

Re: Magloop prototype
From web calculators, even with 5w into a mag loop there will be on the order of 1kv across the cap. And it goes up from there with the square root of the power. An air dielectric repairs itself, so

Hi, I haven't been reading this entire thread so I may have missed some statements. A daily driver is the car (or truck) we drive to work every day. And to grocery store. As opposed to a precious

Re: Magloop prototype
You should cherish your critics because they make you better. Sorry if I got hot under the collar, Kirk. Thanks for the link to the controller...good stuff. Shirley...great point...I mainly care about

Re: Magloop prototype
Kurt, lQQks gQQd Thanks for sharing I dabbled a bit with homebrew STL and always considered WSPR one of the best tools for both signal strength and directivity reports. For example.. Rotate STL 90

Re: Magloop prototype
A great deal of hard earned wisdom resides in those words. There are many, many ways to make an antenna that's worse than a dipole, and all of those that are better than a dipole are at least an order

Again, there's nothing special about the NorCal version of these docs. The originals are on my qsl web page. This is the site that was used during the original class back in 1997. All the authors (me

Re: Magloop prototype
Nah, don't give up. I'm quite curious as to what you come up with. Experimentation is the best part of this hobby. Don't confuse advice from experience with a personal attack. Sometimes stuff works,

Re: Magloop prototype
You can use WSPR for antenna testing for other modes. Just cut your output power to compensate for its power efficiency. Use at least 20dB less power than you would for CW, so if you're trying to see

Re: Magloop prototype
Well hell...you are telling me I could have done all this work in my basement and not the kitchen table? Wow. My wife will be happy to hear that. They really have a racket going to claim WSPR is good

Re: Magloop prototype
I too am curious on the details of why teflon is not a good choice. If so, homebrew air variable caps could work, they just have to be big enough for a suitable air gap. It's a hobby, and an

Re: Magloop prototype
Sorry, Kurt, A "daily driver" is an antenna that stays in service for long periods of time and is used daily (as opposed to something whipped together for one reason or another). It's a motor vehicle
