I finished my helically wound windom antenna and worked Cuba(5x8 report) today on 20 meters ssb with 100 watts. The antenna is an 80-20 off center feed with a...

Fellow Radiators: My name is Steve, NU7T. I built a 160m helical from a description Frank, G3YCC, had posted, somewhere. I used this antenna for a 160m...
Fellow Radiators: The CQ 160m contest is over. I used the 160m helical. About 70' (21 meters) of house wire wound around a 10' tall and 1 1/2 " (3.8cm) ...
... Gee, it's only about 2000Z here. Still about four hours to go in the contest. I figure to get another 2 and a half hours of operation or so as it gets...
... I'm sure I'm not the only one to ask this - how do you fit a 130 foot radial on a "small city lot"? The UBC standards in the US now define "standard city...
