As if I didn't have that on all bands. ;) 17:01:03 Robert: I suspect you probably have an opening too; it's just that you don't have enough power to use it. 17:01:08 * kc5tja is JUST BARELY at the minimum power required. 17:01:21 If I had, wouldn't I hear people there then? 17:01:26 I hear _nothing_ 17:02:05 And I can't hear too many people on 20m or 40m either. My DX record is the middle of Russia, otherwise Europe only. 17:02:50 Of course I don't have the best of equipment/antenna. But I think the conditions are part of it too... 17:03:53 DEPENDS ON ANTENNA A 17:03:56 LOT. 17:04:03 WTF? 17:04:25 Huh? 17:04:44 Not sure how my keyboard got into caps-lock mode. 17:04:45 Typing while keying? ;) 17:04:46 That's *weird*. 17:04:48 Hehe 17:04:54 I wonder if it's the 100W. :D 17:05:29 But since I hear pretty weak and distant statoins (and can reach them too, with just 5W) I think the equipment isn't THAT bad. 17:06:06 I know, I'm just saying. 17:06:09 --- quit: qFox ("if at first you dont succeed, quit again") 17:06:18 My ability to get out is actually at QRP levels, even though my rig is pumping out 100W. 17:06:26 So that should tell you a lot about my current antenna setup. :) 17:06:37 I've been hitting Australia on 8 to 12W of power for the last three days, which is nice. 17:06:47 We're trying for an RST exchange on 10m now. 17:06:55 * kc5tja is waiting for him to set up his key. :) 17:06:56 Yep. Good conditions! 17:07:05 Hehe. Don't drop any more books. 17:07:10 Still, I'm really upset about the power loss in my antennas. 17:07:15 Yeah. 17:07:18 :) 17:07:23 It was my 65816 programmers manual too. :D 17:07:28 _In_ the antenna? 17:07:33 What kind of losses are that? 17:08:44 ehm, or i 17:08:45 is* 17:10:12 The antenna is not resonant on 10m. 17:10:16 So there will be area-effect losses. 17:10:20 The tuner represents a loss. 17:10:26 The connections TO the antenna are losses. 17:10:30 Etc. 17:10:36 A dB here and a dB there all add up. 17:12:24 Didn't know it wss THAT bad. 17:12:39 I guess I have a pretty decent efficiency. Not with the loop though 17:14:44 Well, if I had the real-estate, I could eliminate a lot of losses. 17:15:02 A properly sized antenna would be resonant, and therefore not have any significant losses for me. 17:15:16 The use of 450-ohm ladder line would cut line losses by a factor of 10m. 17:15:18 err 17:15:21 10 rather. :) 17:15:52 Ideally, very simple auto-transformers can be used instead of pi-network tuners, again to minimize losses, etc. 17:16:13 I read about some guy who did US - Europe with 50mW. 17:16:35 Unfortunately, I live close to downtown San Diego, in suburbia, where a full-sized antenna would be grounds for having me exiled from the city. 17:16:36 That's 20dB below me. 17:17:05 :( 17:17:30 As I watch the people walking by my front yard, my antenna already draws a lot of attention, attention I'd rather not have. 17:17:35 Fortunately, nobody has yet complained. 17:18:12 Why would they? As long as you don't fry their pets/TVs... 17:18:52 Because it devalues the property. 17:19:14 Heh. 17:19:16 And if it devalues the property, their land ownership investment goes down, which means they end up losing cash (like a stock market player would lose cash if a stock went down). 17:20:05 Why not paint yourself black just to see the value sink further? 17:20:09 I bet they'd like that 17:31:04 so does it run on MOS ? 17:31:14 blah 17:31:16 wrong chan 17:32:18 --- nick: kc5tja -> kc-away 17:42:07 --- join: SDO (SDO@chcgil2-ar7-4-34-128-174.chcgil2.dsl-verizon.net) joined #forth 17:46:49 kc5tja: mark slicker misreads a lot of your posts 17:47:02 and gets quite annoyed at them it seems 17:47:08 Yep. 17:47:21 * kc-away is *still* waiting for his roommie to tag along to get food. >:( 17:47:26 If it's much longer, I'm going alone. 17:47:49 fridge: He really does have major problems with the English language. 17:47:51 It's very sad. 17:47:56 He's so intelligent otherwise. 17:48:00 re SDO 17:48:11 SDO: Check out my new site design; http://www.falvotech.com 17:56:13 Rebuttal posted.
