I just wanted to mention my method of soldering large count litz wire.  I set a spoon on my electric stove, then melt a large drop of solder in the center of the spoon, "guessing" just under 3/8"

New version has solved some problems on the MW? see here https://imgur.com/a/c5dzHGx

Mark Connelly's doctrine of getting right up to the salt water edge was proven again during file review of daytime DXing in Macau-- a strange gambling enclave located 50 miles west of Hong Kong. On

Absolutely no arguments from me on this last bit. But really, I use the meter on the radio to point an antenna, or compare received signal strengths for logging. So an indication of r-f voltage across

Thanks for the suggestion Phil! I suspect though that I will go with the wire Gary has been using since he has used it on a number of projects and had very good results. The 1200 strand wire is an

Very good and interesting information Richard. Though I have never considered the readouts on my ultralights to achieve metrology grade accuracy. Rather simply a relative indication of signal

Hi Gary, Amazing antenna and very impressive demonstration. Best regards Chris

Many Ultralight receivers include a display of signal strength and S/N for the received signal. This information is useful, although it doesn't accurately show the field intensity of the signal
