Bob Shohet, KQ2M, a Superstation unto himself, presents (circa 2016) his winning techniques from decades of hard work and hard knocks. Bob clues you in to his strategies, listening more than just *putting* it out there, and how a little courtesy before and after contest events can make easier contacts in the future. Enjoy- […]

A Quad antenna is a full wavelength conductor in the form of a square (or circle or diamond). It is actually two half wave dipoles spaced half wave length apart, bent at right angles at l/8th wavelength points and joined together. If the Quad is fed at either sides it is vertically polar­ized and if…

This is a portable dipole I built for 20 meters. It works great. The SWR is really low. I would not recommend this for permanent use just because it is not build like a rock. It will do just fine for portable in the field operation. It is a great backpacking antenna. I only used…

Receiving HF signals at my location is a compromise situation due to the antennas I use and the high noise environment in the city. Although my transceiver has good selectivity and excellent filters, I suffer from high noise conditions that at times make receiving a chore. This is true for both weak-signal DX as well […]
