The Elephant Cage Antenna

The Wullenweber Array

I’ve owned the MXL 990 Condenser Microphone with Shockmount for some time now and I would like to add my two cents worth. The MXL 990 Condenser Microphone comes complete with the Shockmount in the box, which adds more value to the package. Shockmounts aren’t cheap. Another bonus which may be irrelevant to some, the […]

Potato Launcher And Antenna Launcher

Watch ham operator K7ZS, as he demonstrates his powerful antenna launcher. His potato launcher does great for hanging those hf antennas high in the sky. Ham radio operators want to launch their wire antennas for ham radio use, and the goal is to find the highest tree branch and aim. I believe the goal here […]

Peaberry SDR Kit On The Air

I was monitoring my station when I heard a Peaberry SDR Transceiver Kit (an HF transceiver for Software Defined Radio) on the air, and I was impressed with the transmit quality. The ham operator said he was doing QRP and he said he was using only 1 watt! Impressive for sure, considering that the propagation […]

Winter has come and is on its way out. I had a 1/4 mile roll of #14 gauge electric fence wire. I was about to make an attempt to finally get on the Top Band, with the building of the giant 160 meter dipole. Bring it on! I’m going to tell you that it was […]

Kenwood 570 Settings

The Kenwood 570 settings are few in number, but necessary for enhanced TX and RX audio. The Kenwood TS-570 is quite a workhorse of a radio, even though it has been discontinued and now considered a relic. A small amount of time and patience is required to achieve favorable results. With proper settings, a good […]

Kenwood 590 EQ Settings

Kenwood 590 EQ Réglages The Kenwood TS-590S EQ settings will give the user optimum TX audio if properly configured. This transceiver is hard to beat for the money. Some will use the default mode, while others take the benefit of the ARCP-590 software. Follow this and you will have sparkle and articulation. TX EQ Settings […]
