But the one I have used (Larsen) is a 1/2 wave antenna...and supposedly does not need a ground plane. AEA uses the same design idea for the AEA Hotrod HT antenna. Now if it were a 1/4 wave or 5/8 wave design, then the ground requirement would still hold. But end fed 1/2 wave antennas are supposed to be more ground independent.

To: info-hams@ucsd.edu In rec.radio.amateur.misc, MROWEN%STLAWU.BITNET@cornellc.cit.cornell.edu (Michael Owen) writes: In a recent posting, Joe Skoler asked about 50-75 ohm transformes so he could use CATV line. Here's an answer: You don't need them, even at UHF. All you need to do The basic principle is that the impedance of the load end of any feedline is repeated at 1/2 wavelength intervals along the feedline no matter what impedance the feedline is. So you just trim the feedline until its input end falls at a 1/2 wave multiple and it will look exactly like the antenna's impedance. In addition, at UHF, the feedline's loss will further improve the picture. It may improve the load that the transmitter sees but it will also increase the amount of energy lost in the transmission line. If transmission line were lossless the only issue would be matching the TX to a load which is not longer that of the antenna. However, running a lossy transmission line with high SWR (50/75 ohm mismatch is not terribly high swr) results in higher peak voltages and currents on the line and results in more dissipative loss... the bottom line is less power gets radiated by the antenna in such a scenario. In my opinion, this procedure is far less lossy, and certainly simpler, than installing 50-75 ohm 1/4wave transformers at each end of the hardline. I have done it and it works. I don't agree that it is far less lossy but it certainly *is* simpler and for many situations may be just fine. If your antenna tuner/tx can match what it sees you may be able to get by just fine with out doing *anything*. That was what my previous reference to HF operation of such lines/antennas was about.

This change was effective March 16, 1991. All amateur stations are limited to 200 watts in this subband. Amateurs may use CW, RTTY and data between 3.725 and 3.750 MHz. Phone is prohibited in this segment. ------------------------------ Date: 8 Apr 91 08:48:03 GMT From: hpda!hpcuhb!hpsqf!hpqmola!hpqmolb!dstock@hplabs.hpl.hp.com Subject: Can you really learn Code from tapes? To: info-hams@ucsd.edu It may go better than you expect, Tim. Over here, we've had no-morse VHF licences for many years. Up to about 5 years ago they were banned from using CW. This has since been rescinded, and they may use CW, but must identify in speech ( anomolously, their packet macine id in CW seems to be accepted ) For the past few years, we have had morse-learning nets and 1:1 sessions on the air. The opportunity for talk-back and conversation seem to have made all the difference to people who had difficulties with the impersonal methods like tapes and 1-way slow morse transmissions. The fact that they now have a licence, albeit restricted to >30MHz seems to reduce anxiety and help greatly. One of our locals, after quite a long time has just passed his morse test. First time. He had much difficulty using the old methods and has benefited from knowing that a lot of people were rooting for him. Being involved with others helps you to keep to a regular practice schedule. If you had difficulty, maybe you were trying too hard ? May I suggest that you pracrice reading morse regularly. that you don't keep tabs on your speed. that you don't worry about how long it will take. just have a set number of sessions per week. set the speed down nice and low, where you can comfortably copy, and stay at this speed until you find it boring waiting for the next symbol, then speed up a little. stay at this speed until you find yourself once more waiting for the next symbol..... and so on.... don't try to measure your speed, just ley it sneak up on you. This is not, for many people, the fastest way of learning morse, but it has proven to succeed where others have failed. 73 Have fun !

One case here a bank robber was not captured for several years and when he was caught he had a scanner. Unfortunately, for him, he saw the police first when they all followed him off the freeway. Monitoring the wrong freq maybe, but if he was good at it, he would have know to avoid certain banks. Since he didn't, I figure he didn't monitor effectively. But then when the cops approached, he shot himself in the head and missed.

Ni-Cad Batteries are usually charged at 10% of the amp hour rating for 14 - 16 hours. I assume that means 1/3 of the charge energy is lost, 2/3 goes to the battery. Example 700 maH battery charges at 70 ma for 15 hours, at which time it is fully charged. If you want to charge it in 4 hours: 70 x (16/4) = 280 ma or .280 Amps. If you dare charge it in 1 hour: 70 x 16 = 1120 ma = 1.120 Amps. It is my understanding that battery life is significantly shortened as the charge rate is increased past the 16 hour charge rate. ------------------------------ Date: 12 Apr 91 16:50:20 GMT From: sdd.hp.com!mips!cs.uoregon.edu!milton!sumax!amc-gw!pilchuck!ssc!tad@ucsd.edu Subject: Info-Hams Digest V91 #267 To: info-hams@ucsd.edu In article <9104070433.AA13736@ucsd.edu>, CSMSCST@MVS.OAC.UCLA.EDU (Chris Thomas, AA6SQ) writes: > > > My favorite propagation pgm is W6EL's Miniprop.
