Hi all, Not long now before E season and to keep you lot busy, I have lots of brand new designs (antennas) on my site. I have posted a selection of 50 Mhz...
i am sure all of you are familiar with the 50 mhz dx cluster i have a vhf band 1 tv dx and fm broadcast dx cluster running on skype at the moment. its sporadic...
Nice idea David, I will add you. I take it this is just for TV and not 6 metres? also, where can I find a list of European and Africa TV station frequencies?...
hi there already is 50 mhz clusters so there is no need for 50 mhz on my one its just for vhf band 1 tv and fm broadcast dx. here is a tv video offset list...
It is nice to see the E season start with a bang! I worked many European yesterday and was hearing beacons in scandinavia until well after dark. How was it for...
Nice, loud signals from the Carribean into the states almost all day yesterday. I saw some cluster spots for stations further south, but never heard them. I...
Was 6 open today? Have church in the morning and often company most of the afternoon - just turned on the rig and heard a QSO on 50.135 but the QSB took them...
I saw that on the map...about 1,000 guys calling him. Of course the band is deader than a doornail here. Once again the skip is north and south of me. I've...
Well apart from one EA on Friday,one startled SM3 who disappeared in QRM, and 2 ON's in their contest at the week end, not much of a bang in Abingdon so far -...

Looks like this may breath some life onto us for a short time. Fingers crossed this is the start of something big... ... From: kd4e To: World Wide Six Meter...
Mmmm, Gama match means uneven pattern or patern distortion for a start. Don't know the antenna but I have just released details of my Loop Fed Array Yagi's...
50.0-50.5 1:1 is neat but what about above that, please? Is it the full-wave driven element entirely in the horizontal plane that narrows the bandwidth? How...
I am real shy about it as well because it is a resurrected design from the wildest days of CB ... modified for 6M. Even so, the curious mind in me wants to...
Hi Again, Generally, most 'serious' 6 stuff happens at the bottom end of the band so most antennas with focused atributes site around here. Your verticals and...
Justin, Pretty decent work! Approx gain/fb 5 el/6 m boom? Did you, by chance, ever try using a folded dipole as a driven element? Please give details so I can...
Is there any reason to prefer the AMECO CN or CB-6 model 6M converter? The CN uses one tube and three Nuvistors and has some sort of control on the front. It...
I have just added the first of my Loop Fed Array Yagis to my website that have been deisgned specifically to reduce unwanted city noise from any other...
hi just to say that my vhf tv and fm broadcast dx cluster on skype is going quite well . there are users from all over uk and eu etc anyone interested just...
Justin, I read with interest about your design for a 5 element 6M LFA Yagi. One detail missing from your published design is if the reflector and director...
The grounding to boom vs not grounded also has an impact on lightning management, doesn't it? That's a major variable here in central Florida, in addition to...
Yes, and that's why I'm interested in a design with grounded elements... We have quite a large number of electrical storms here on the coast in South Carolina...
I feel sorry for anyone NOT on six currently. An amazing start to the season with Carribean and South America every afternoon and Japan each morning with a...
