MEMBER CONTRIBUTIONS TO AMATEUR RADIO

Under our FWDXA header you probably saw the little note that said; "Home of many 160 nuts". Indeed there's a group of FWDXA'ers that take a great interest in 160m DXing and contesting. And when there's a great interest in something, knowledge is gained.

Here is a list of some of the technical contributions that these 160m aficionados have made specifically for 1.8 MHz operations.

Carl, K9LA pens the propagation column for World Radio News, and is an occasional solar reporter for the ARRL Propagation Forecast Bulletin. Carl welcomes propagation questions at k9la@gte.net. You can occasionally catch carl operating from ZF land and other suprise locations.

Need a good high dynamic range preamp for your Beverages or Ewes? Check out KD9SV's "Variable Gain 160-Meter Preamp" article in the 1989 issue of Ham Radio.

Got a tower and want to use it to transmit on 160m? WA9GFR and KD9SV describe how to do it in their "Low-Band Verticles And How To Feed Them" article in the August 1990 issue of CQ.

Finally, if Beverages or Ewes aren't for you, maybe an array of four short verticles will fit your receiving requirements. K9UWA, KD9SV, and W7EL described such a system in Volume 3 of the ARRL Antenna Compendium titled "The Square-Four Receiving Array".

If you can't get copies, K9LA (CBA) or E-mail to k9la@gte.net will gladly send you a copy. All he asks is an SAE with the proper amount of return postage. Each article requires one stamp.
