@carl-blare We're having a heat wave here in the Pacific Northwest. It isn't as bad on the coast as it is in the interior, but temperatures are still...

AliExpress is basically a Chinese marketplace. Prices are less, and you can purchase items internationally that you can't get in your local market. ...

@mark You're aware, I'm sure, that radio stations in Canada require both an ISED license (technical standards) and a CRTC license (content). The sole...

This has to be a version of what I accidently ran into with my Decade antenna and WH3. I'm actually a bit surprised it made that much of a difference...

I find it interesting that the WH3 range was increased, while the Decade's wasn't. Perhaps the Decade is better grounded than the WH3. The WH3 mana...

Here is a link that discusses 2 Element Yagi Antennas.

The results of using a driven Decade, with another Decade close by with the antenna extended yielded no useful range extension. Further investigatio...

I'll be doing antenna tests later today, but my suspicion is that I've accidently invented a variant of the Yagi antenna. It consists of a driven ele...

There definitely is some sort of effect in the setup I described. The range of the WH3 definitely increased; it wasn't as much as previously but then...

I will do that. First, later today, I'm retrying the WH3 experiment. I also note that the Decade is in a metal case, and the antenna (i.e., wire) of...

@mark Yeah, the range was effectively doubled from the MS-100. Of course, the fact that even without that, the ranges are pretty much the same means ...

The difference in range sitting in front of the Decade was quite noticeable. While my range tests were not scientific by any means, the signal from t...
