- I found that disconnected script worked well. I could not print that fast
- and regular script presupposes that you know what the next letter will be

- Subject: Antenna Price vs Performance
- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- FWIW here are my thoughts on the price/performance ratio of Ham HF antennae.
- The BEST and most expensive for point to point communication is a BIG
- multi-element rotatable directional antenna mounted at least one and one half
- wavelengths high over a saltwater marsh. <BG> Since this type of installation
- is not doable and/or desirable for most of us we need alternatives.
-
- In my years of Ham activity starting in the late 1940's I have owned
- or used many types of antennae including some that came close to the
- theoretical BEST. I travelled extensively and used borrowed/scrounged
- stuff when I had to. The usual antenna would be a trapped 1/4 wave vertical
- dipole of some sort with whatever ground plane I had room for. I never
- noticed a bit of difference in performance between any of the major brands
- providing that they were of about the same physical length. I had the
- impression that a roof mounted vertical with four quarter wave radials
- worked better than a ground mounted vertical with the same radials. It
- should but I never ran any real tests. I also used wire dipoles and long
- wires at various times. In all cases I had a usable Ham station. I could
- communicate with other Hams all over the world as long as the propagation
- would cooperate.
-
- My present antenna is a 105' G5RV strung haphazardly through the trees
- in my backyard. It works as well if not better than anything I have used.
- Because it is mounted more or less horizontal it does exhibit some lobing
- on the higher bands. I have tried a shorter G5RV (52') mounted vertically
- and was impressed with its performance even though the top was only 40'
- or so above the ground. We just folded the excess 90 degrees a few feet
- above the ground. If it ever gets warm again I suspect that a vertical
- G5RV type dipole will become my prime radiator.
-
- I have found that the old adage "The more Copper the better." is true.
- I have found that a long piece of wire hung from a tall tree is usually
- better than a trapped vertical, be it called quarter or half wave.
- I have found that the tallest commercial Ham vertical works better than
- the shortest. (See "more Copper")
- I have found that to work DX the fewer skips the better. This means height
- to lower the radiation angle.
- I have found that even a 10' random wire will work under good band conditions.
- I have found that a 20 meter beam at 30' is not much better than anything
- else at the same height. (Yes it's a little quieter.)
-
- All in all I'd recommend a wire antenna as high as possible. Mount it
- vertically for an omni directional pattern or horizontally to favor a
- particular direction. Put your money in a tuner with a VSWR bridge.
-
- If you can't hang a wire someplace a roof mounted 1/4 wave vertical
- with a minimum of four radials is probably the least expensive option.
-
- The point of all this is that there are a myriad of antenna options and
- that for the most part the difference in on the air performance is marginal.
- The point is to get on the air. 73

- The items in this week's bulletin are courtesy of Bob, W5KNE; QRZ
- DX; and the Ohio/Penn and Yankee Clipper Contest Club PacketCluster
- networks. Thanks.
-
- PETER FIRST ISLAND. 3Y0PI has been active for several days. The
- last 100 PacketCluster spots show stations in the northeast US
- working them on all bands 40 through 10 meters.
-
- On CW try 1826, 3522, 7022, 10104, 14024, 18074, 21024, 24894 and
- 28024 kHz. Listen for their SSB on 1845, 3785, 7065, 14195, 18145,
- 21295, 24945 and 28475 kHz. For RTT
- and 28180 kHz; and satellite action on 145.890 MHz listening down on
- OSCAR 10 and 13.
-
- On HF the split windows are 5 to 10 kHz wide maximum on CW and 25
- kHz on SSB. Stateside stations are being worked by call areas
- following propagation patterns, typically 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 0, 5, 7
- and 6.
-
- At around 1800z February 3, the DXpedition crew had some problems
- with their generators. The icebreaker that is to pick them up is
- running six days behind schedule, so the new pick up date is
- February 19.
-
- MOUNT ATHOS. Monk Apollo, SV2ASP/A, has been heard on some of the
- WARC bands with a very strong signal, most notably on 17 meters.
- Also check between 3790 and 3795 kHz at 0530 and 1700z. He recently
- showed up on the 21335 DX Net around 1345z.
-
- KERGUELEN ISLAND. New amateur Pierre, FT5XJ, will be on the island
- until July for a three month leave. When he returns his stay will
- be for a year. He has been on 14250 kHz at 0500z, 14191 kHz at
- 1420z and can sometimes be found on 14198 kHz. QSL via F5NLL.
-
- TONGA. Jim, VK9NS, is on as A35MR. He was worked on 21260 kHz
- between 2100 and 2200z. A35KB has also been active. Nob, JF2MBF,
- ex VR6JJ, along with Yasu, JI1NJC, will start a four week Pacific
- DXpedition from Tonga as A35JJ from February 12 to 20. This will be
- all band CW, SSB, RTT
- JR2KDN.
-
- TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS. Ed, K9IMM, and Carol, NS9L, will be on
- Provos from February 17 to 24. K9IMM will operate the ARRL CW DX
- Contest on 160 meters as VP5B. Before and after the contest Ed and
- Carol will operate as VP5/ their own calls on 160 through 10 meters,
- some of which may be with QRP. QSL via WB9NOV w/SASE.
-
- THIS WEEKEND ON THE RADIO. The North American Sprint CW, sponsored
- by the National Contest Journal, NCJ, runs for four hours starting
- at 0000z February 6, or Saturday night local time. Check around
- 3540, 7040 and 14040 kHz. Complete rules appear on page 127 of
- January QST
-
- The 1994 Classic Radio Exchange is from 2000z February 6 to 0400z on
- the 7th. Amateurs are encouraged to operate restored equipment at
- least 10 years old. Exchange name, RST
- transmitter type. CW action will be 60 kHz up from the bottom of
- the band. For SSB try 3880, 7290, 14280, 21380 and 28320 kHz.
- Novice/Tech stations on HF will be 20 kHz up from lower subband
- edge.
-
- The Vermont QSO Party, sponsored by the Central Vermont ARC, is a
- must for those needing Vermont for their WAS awards. It starts at
- 0000z February 5 and ends at 0500z on the 6th. Activity will be on
- 160, 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10 meters.
-

- I need a pointer to a list of automotive models that have real problems
- when amateur radios are installed. Primary culprits, of course, would
- be unshielded/undershielded engine computers. I know that _SOME_

-
- What models have problems? Is there a list somewhere?

- Subject: Radio microphone monitor?
- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- We have need to monitor some radio-microphone frequencies to determine if
- they are in use. Telex radio microphones use discrete frequencies in the
- range 165 mHz thru 216 mHz. Low-cost scanners only search to 174 mHz.
- Any suggestions for a LOW cost scanner, or modification, that will permit
- reception above 174? I'm not particularly interested in the $400+ all-
- band scanner -- only the low-cost units, because we only will need them a
- few weeks.
