New York, Cape Cod, Carolinas, Bermuda, Jamaica, coming into Central Texas this morning, best Qso was 1543 Bermuda on 38lsb, train wreck now, will try 27.5550 when work is done this afternoon

swapped the diode back on the air

A schematic available PDF or something?

Is this part between the power and ground (sr36) a diode? If so it has continuity both ways and is possibly my problem ,

So my beloved Stryker 955 poped the fuse when accidentally touchy the ground wire to the positive lug, now doesn't power up, fuse pops as soon as connected, is there anything I should check before shipping it out? I'm no tech and while I can do minor component testing and replacement , just...

QSO with WD 45 Nova Scotia, BRD 124 South Africa today, good while it lasted 38LSB

Had no idea this was a controversial subject , do you want your mast to be part of the antennas counterpoise or not? doesn't really matter to me, just wanting to see a good example of an easy way to accomplish this for my antenna which I figured out now thanks to Sp5it

I will try that just for experimental purpose, been putting it there on my home brew 1/4 wave antennas, I don't have a common mode issue, it's quiet as a mouse like it is, if it's a resonance thing I would say worth trying, but doesn't really make sense to me otherwise

The mast becomes part of the antenna when connected , I don't have a good way of explaining this but the mast is taking away from the the antennas resonance, or robbing usefull power , one example was imagine the antenna is a barrel and your filling it with water,( rf power) the mast and coax...

thanks, should be pretty easy to figure out, not sure what blue water pipe is but I suppose any nonconductive water pipe that will fit over the mast will do the job

Interested in how more experienced folks than myself have solved the mast to antenna isolation issue

Tallman was my friend on wwdx , RIP Tallman :(

Keep a log myself and will have a look at 11/4, great to DX with other forum members
