Relay Control Box for Turnstile Antenna
Presented is a relay controller for operating two orthogonal 75m dipoles to make them operate as a circular polarization turnstile antenna.
NVIS 80m with 160m Full Wave Loop is less than ideal
Big HF loop antennas provide great performance, but they can’t do everything. 160 meter full wave loops won’t work well for NVIS when used at 3.8 MHz.
