    Crawdad, we are making progress. She's still in the hospital, and I am still quarantined at home. But we are making some incremental improvements. Thank you for asking.

    What is causing this?

    I will go on a search for this when I get well. Both my wife and I have covid. She's in the hospital, I am fighting it from home. Way to weak, and using a breathing machine to keep up with oxygen.

    What is causing this?

    Could be all of the above. However, this is a new development. We've all been operating without this noise for a few years. It has been happening to the most distant Icom station for about 3 weeks on and off everyday. The nearer Kenwood station has seen it now for weeks, but not daily, and...

    Base Moxon

    1. Did you use horizontal? 2. Did you optimize it fastidious? 3. Did you use aluminumb tubing? Far superior to wire model. 4. Did you get it up as high as possible above the ground? They work at any height, but on a short pole like the majority with 24' more vertical antenna above the pole is...

    5/8 wave ground plane 11 meters

    The 5/8 will perform better with horizontal radials.

    5/8 wave ground plane 11 meters

    All you need is a coil (inductor). Bottom of coil and coax shield to the radials. Center conductor of coax to the 50 Ohm tap point on the coil. Top of coil to the vertical radiator. The radials are isolated from the vertical radiator except through the coil itself. The radials are located at the...
