"Hey, what happened to my SWR?
Oh..."
or
"Are those all left-wing birds on the HF beam?"
Several options (newest pages listed first):
- how to Bury Radials for a
vertical antenna -- the easy and effective way!
- how I make a Big Ugly Balun -- a
work in progress -- how to decouple your feedline for a vertical or dipole
- how to mod the 6BTV for 12m & 17m -- a
work in progress -- take a 4BTV, 5BTV, or 6BTV, and add 12m and/or 17m --
cheap!
- setting up a remote HF station -- a work
in progress -- running remote HF 900 miles away with a Kenwood TS-480

Collin County
