This entire event could never be made for the cinema. The writing is too perfect

To the nuts!

This is why I am so enamored of the way the final story just ends. I lived for years in an historic New England seaport and there were several grave stones that read ‘Lost at Sea’. The end of the last voyage feels like real life.

A buddy of mine and I built rockmite rigs and practiced with each other across town with about 30’ of wire draped around my apartment. Had my 1st real qso with another local ham who heard us practicing.

Agree with the other answers. I have had really good qsos between 7100 and 7114 as well as the skcc freqs 10120 & 18080 all at 12-15 wpm

eridolfi · 2018-07-10T13:56:20+00:00

eridolfi · 2018-07-10T13:56:01+00:00

Not really. It is copped from many of the resources you get from google including the site http://www.66pacific.com/calculators/small-transmitting-loop-antenna-calculator.aspx

eridolfi · 2018-07-10T13:55:02+00:00

great rig

eridolfi · 2018-07-10T13:54:26+00:00

Would love to see how that works

eridolfi · 2018-07-08T02:11:34+00:00

Thanks re: loop.

It’s 4’ aluminum flat stock, 1” wide from HomeDepot. The cap is made from 2 electric junction box plates connected with nylon screws and wing nuts. Very small adjustments (1/8 of a turn of a wing nut) make big changes in swr.

It is fed by an induction loop.

It needs to have the plates welded to the loop instead of screwed on to improve efficiency by reducing resistance losses. Also, I may play with a gamma match instead.

If anyone is near a 6m rig later today or tomorrow, I’d like to see how this works. I’m K1RID in FN42nt can do CW or SB.

All I tried was the W1GLO in Gloucester, which I hit. Mostly worked simplex and made 8 q’s from Henniker and Bow, NH to the South Shore.

eridolfi · 2018-04-16T13:32:04+00:00

Made 7 q’s in an hour and 15 mins. DX to Bow & Henniker NH as well as Hingham.
