The QRPer Board

I wrote to John, WA3RNC to ask him about it. He said he'd prefer to look at himself. Long story short, he said the issue was that my Talencell battery pack has a noisy internal voltage converter that caused the noise. I was very impressed that John looked over my radio and had it back to me in about...

I just finished building my TR-35 and have been testing it out as best I can with the bands. I have two issues that I'm concerned about. 1. The receiver motorboats on 40 and 30m, but is quiet on 20 and 17m. The motorboating subsides when I turn the VFO but immediately resumes when I stop. 2. The rad...

I'm going to try a 29/17 EFRW. My home antenna is a 35.5/17, and works well enough for me. For the choke, I'm using N6ARA's choke design - 12 bifiliar turns on a T50-43. I've got it all built, and I hope to get some time to try it out today.

More great ideas - thanks!

That's a great idea!

I'm working on that exact idea - a housing with a 9:1 unun and a choke, and those brass connectors that are used for linked dipoles glued to the outside to connect the wires. I have a 35.5/17 foot EFRW as my primary home antenna, but I can have both 35.5 and a 29 foot wires for portable operations. ...

I like the idea. I think I forgot about it because it's too big for me to take on an airplane, but for a local activation it would be perfect! However, I'm glad I broke the base of the magloop close to home - I was able to modify the design with a thicker base and reprint it that evening. 73, Mike, ...

Ok, now I feel like a dummy. I have a TransWorld TW2010 (pretty much a commercial version of your double T bar) but I was concerned about taking up too much space in the car. Next time...
