Activity Stream

I was up at 4:00AM and checked 14.000 and checked again now....It's still there. It's a continuous wave RF signal. It also varies in strength,...

One of my CB buddies from years ago (RIP Larry...) used to have a dual-polarity Avanti omnidirectional. Essentially a 5/8w vertical and a full wave...

Do some math with your rig...14.0 - 8.83 MHz = IF Trap mis-adjusted? That's one of the things I check on an x30 hybrid. FWIW, I learned about this...

When I first got my Novice my 10 meter antenna was an Avanti Sigma 5/8. Worked well and the loading coil was obvious around the base. It worked well...

Hmmm...I just checked and it's a broadcast signal at 14.00 (and no it's not my calibrator). Maybe its God, giving me a "heading Beacon".

Which frequencies are you hearing these on - precisely 14.000 and 14.350MHz, or somewhere else? And what sort of signal - steady carrier, CW ID, FSK?

HMMM....I have a Kenwood TS-830...Not exactly state of the art. I only work 20mtrs. Very strange. Thanks for the input

See my sig line...

Never heard of anyone actually transmitting band-edge signals but I know a lot of newer transceivers incorporate a band-edge notification feature....

The thing to watch with 5/8w CB antennas: Most have a matching network/loading coil internal to the base, and most of them used etched PCB as the...

Welcome to The Island! Pull up a deck chair and I'll bring you a drink. What's your drink of choice? Nice work up there in the above posts! I...

Thanks Fred! What an honor to hear from you. Thank you for your vision and creation of the QRZ resource, for the Ham community. 73 Earl

Thanks That would be Great! Earl

Very nice work Earl. I need to send you one of my old WN3VAW cards from 1979-1982. Illustration done by Sally C. Fink (at the time, the XYL of...

Ooh, that's nice. Welcome! I have tried my hand at drawing without success, not at your level. Rudimentary stuff, I'm your guy. Thinking about...

Years ago just getting back to active, I found a 5/8 wave CB ground plane attached to a house during my usual drive home. The gentleman who put it up...

Bump.. Could repurpose into 6 meter service. If you have the activity there for it. The antenna I put up for 10 fell into 11 with a better...
