Re: Cheap 32’ carbon fiber mast
Also, carbon fiber masts are conductive, so they're a "no go" if one wants to use them for a vertical antenna, better looking for fiberglass poles, those will do double duty to both act as center support for a dipole/doublet or to put up a vertical antenna just by hanging the wire at the t...

Re: RG316 recommendation

sBitx - any good ?
Just noticed that the same folk(s) behind the uBitx made a new model, this one is called sBitx https://www.hfsignals.com/index.php/sbitx-v3/ and seems to offer quite a buch of features, but then it's an SDR and I wonder if it may be plagued by the same issues of other SDR based rigs, including the f...

Re: Kite lifted antennas
If the UnUn is DC shorted, like this one http://www.jumaradio.com/The-challenging-Unun-Transformer/ and if the ground goes to a decent ground stake, there shouldn't be need for a bleeder since the antenna would effectively be connected to ground at DC; alternatively one may try a galvanic transforme...

Re: Counterpoise with TX500
if using an EFHW then you won't need a counterpoise (ok, a short one may improve radiation but it isn't mandatory), on the other hand, if using an EFRW (a so called "random") then you will need a cointerpoise to both improve radiation and matching through the necessary (in this case) ATU I...
