  1. Tonight’s (already running) A/B #HamRadio #antenna test is #160m #WSPR (RX only) between 6-80 #DXCommander vertical & this ferrite rod magnetic loop, indoors, on my bench.

  6. Callum, the #DXCommander, shared a YT the other day about A/B testing of antennas. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c845... I'll do one better, & use a #python script, written w/ #AI help, to auto-run un-attended overnight A/B #antenna test. "Keep a careful log of times you change ANT." No. PC does that.

    RESULTS: What the Data Actuall...

  11. Finished my DX Commander Signature 9 and so far it’s performing well. Just need to do a tuning tweak, add the heat sharing and button it down for the winter. #hamradio #DXCommander

  16. Although I do sometimes get European hits on 10m, it seems more often it’s like this, where ALL the 10m stations I hear are Central & South America. Is this what you other midwest hams see? Or should I consider moving my #DXCommander vertical?

  21. There’s a #HamRadio YTer who makes antennas with ribbons of #FaradayCloth And LTA makes inflatable masts up to 60’. If I win the lotto, I’m building a #DXCommander that goes up in 6 minutes, & never has tangled element wires.

  26. Did some testing of my new #DXCommander carbon fiber pole with my #PackTenna 20M raised about 9’ in the air. Super solid almost 1:1 SWR and no #rfi issues that I could tell.

  30. My #DXCommander, essentially a fan #vertical for, in my case, 10,15, 17, and 20m shows minimum SWR for 10m at around 26.4MHz.
    This seems a long way off...

    The 10m element is 2.5m long. Has 20 surface lying radials. Is fed through rg213.

    SWR indicated my LED bar on transceiver.

    Any thoughts about what's going on?

  33. My newly resurrected rig: unguyed truncated (no 40m) #DXCommander and elderly #Sgc2020 seems work. Running SSB 10W I get 59 from 700/1000 miles into Europe on 17m from here in Cornwall - extreme SW of UK.
    Take off is good all round except to SW, and sea is only 800m away to North.
    How do I get further? #DX

  37. Radials down: 20 various lengths 2, 4, 5, 8 metres to fit the space. Mostly around 5 m.
    Grass and clover meadow mixture now showing nicely.
    PL 259 plug on this afternoon when it's drier.

  38. So foggy I can't see the top of my #DXCommander

    I was planning to put out the radials today but will wait until WX improves.

  39. @alex @kr8e Made some progress today building my DX Commander Classic. Between being legally blind, temps 110°/43.3° + every day progress is slow.

  42. @F1RUM @DL9DX Thanks for #WRAC band advice.
    I will add an element for 17m to my #DXCommander and give it a try.
