Hello Guys, The fanatical mega-loopstick experimentation withthe SRF-39FP has reached a new level (perhaps along with the eccentricityof the experimentor). Using two 7" and one 6.25"

Hi John, Im familiar with your excellent articles on balun fabrication and in fact have been using them as a reference for ages. I was just wondering what cores are used in commercial rx baluns which

Paul, You might check the World Records at various transmitter powers. You might be setting records for 50 kW stations, for instance. In any case, a great set of loggings! John Bryant

Dear folks, Gary's mating of a large ferrite bar to the SRF-59 would be highly desirable. Like another earlier post, I shy away from opening radios as "disaster would be sure to follw". I am
