Re: Mini DXpedition 2016
Nice site. What kind of antenna(s) did you put together there ? I just checked the specs of that Palstar receiver. Cute, but For the bucks I would have expected some kind of passband tuning and at least a 500 & 250 Hz CW filter on it ! I guess it's made for ease of operation and not bells and whistl...

Re: Travel Back In Time To Buy A Good TV Antenna

Re: Travel Back In Time To Buy A Good TV Antenna
That 8 ft parabolic dish has an apeture of something like 5.97 wavelengths, at mid UHF TV frequencies. The DB gain is proportional to that but I think you have to also factor in the focal length . An unholy marriage of optics and antenna theory. :D Anybody who can figure out the gain out there? Spea...

My family went out there to visit over a weekend and early one morning (before sunrise) we turned on his TV to see what was on the air. He had found the biggest an...

Re: Then, there's this.....
Speaking of Spell Check, does any one else watch the closed captions option on TV ? I have to turn down the Volume when watching TV since my Wife is overly sensitive (oh crap, I just turned 70 and can't hear worth crap anymore) so I turn on the closed caption options.

This was available 24 hours a day if we were on 24 hour weekend call. The pagers were small and li...
