16 hours ago Discussion ongoing on one of the Cold War groups. Fascinating. Any guesses? ... See MoreSee Less Well is circularly polarized so it can only really be for one thing. Can you say Sputnik ? CPSARC new comp yagi.... fries everything in its path... Good for interstellar comps as well.... 😂😂😂 So, it's not an antenna for a death ray? Powered by Italian watts... ? Helical suggests something that’s likely to rotate and not be perfectly aligned on the far end. Satellite is the obvious one. It’s an end fire with reflector so probably relatively high frequency rather than using a coil as a shorter than quarter wavelength vertical.
The one thing that makes me think not satellite is the support cables look like it only elevates to around 60 degrees max. So on that basis, possibly vhf to planes, particularly military jets as they wouldn’t always be flying level. Eme or inter planet probes? Pretty sure it's one of these. They were a very common antenna system in the 70's and 80's. bloody contesters, how am I supposed to talk about the colour of my coax when they are shouting over the top of everyone? 10Khz wide you know, they don't listen, and what's the point? you're 5/9 all you details again. Why cant they give proper signal reports and why cant they just use certain portions of the band.........😭😭well there's nee one on now so knock yourselves out 🙂 2 days ago I spotted a nice rare DX station on the DX cluster, went to his frequency and called him. He didn’t answer so I put the amp on and called him with 400 Italian watts for about half an hour and he still didn’t come back to my call. I’m guessing either he didn’t speak English or he couldn’t hear me for all the QRM. ... See MoreSee Less You were on the wrong frequency dude 😉 Maybe there's something wrong with your flanger You have got a flanger haven't you ?? 400 Italian Watts?. Italians burn up at least 400 in just the losses alone! 😂 You should have kept listening. It's pretty good once the drums and bass kick in.... DATA Posse..... Make some Noize!! 1 day ago Wee treat to myself for being a good boy. ... See MoreSee Less You mean you bought this? Not made from the spare parts bin?
