Good Evening,
Another cool week but there was more sun, the undergrowth is filling
in the scars from the timber thinning operation. The deer and elk
trails are becoming more regular and easier to follow. Previously they
trended east to west but now there are a few north south paths. The
huckleberries are not ripe yet though the blackberries are starting.
The wild strawberry season is almost done.
A real sunspot has popped up and lasted for more than a day. It is
from cycle 25 and should be visible projected through a telescope or
binoculars. It's a start.
An antenna design is stuck in my head. It consists of three legs,
each 1/4 wavelength long. One leg is vertical while the two radials are
120 degrees below it. The two radials are connected electrically while
the vertical leg is fed separately. If it had more radials it would be
called a 1/4 wave vertical. But the one stuck in my head has elevated
radials and only two of them. I cannot remember what this antenna is
called. I know 'inverted Y antenna' doesn't work as a search term.
Does anyone know what this is usually called so I can use a better
search string? The low take off angle would be nice. It looks like a
20 or 40 meter version would be easy to build and raise.
Please join us on (or near):
14050 kHz at 2200z Sunday (3 PM PDT Sunday)
7047 kHz at 0000z Monday (5 PM PDT Sunday)
