I don't really understand that. As I recall the reason for stopping
production was that he moved and could no longer get the PVC pipe
required for manufacture.

If you ask me, PVC pipe can be shipped anywhere, so supply shouldn't be
a problem.

If he'd care to contact me with the particulars, I might just start
building the darn things here!

There is obviously a market.

BURR,

For AFRTS at 10.320 MHz from Hawaii.

Try one of these two Antennas

SLOPER:
* Simple "Sloper" cut to about 97 Feet, that is 'Bottom Fed'
with an angle of 30 Degrees and an Apex of about 48 Feet.
* Position the "Sloper" so that the 'Slope of the Antenna' is
facing in the direction of Hawaii.
* Coax Cable Feed-in-Line with a Matching Transformer and
Ground Rod at the Bottom Feed Point would help a lot.

DIPOLE:
* Simple "Dipole" cut to about 47.7 Feet, that is 'Center Fed'
* Each Arm of the Dipole would be 23.8 Feet
* Height of the Dipole between 23.8 to 47.7 Feet
* Position the "Dipole" so that the 'Arms of the Dipole' are
Perpendicular to the direction of Hawaii. (Broadside)
* Coax Cable Feed-in-Line with a Balun and Ground Rod.

It's 7:45 here and I'm trying both day and night from Hawaii,
Nothing!!!

Here a bump from time to time.

I am 85 miles inland at the Ont. airport.

I am using my Sony AN1 with my YB 400.

I also tried these freq.'s at home on the Sat 800
and the Drake SW8 using a long wire.

So far, I just can't get them.

N8KDV,

Last I heard "CS" was working on a new Loop Antenna design that
was based on a Ferrite Rod Core, vice an open Air Core Loop.

That's reasonable assuming it's working (no reason it wouldn't be that
I know of). They work about as well as you can get a single loop to
work, balanced and aimable to a fine degree, stable regeneration
to narrow the bandwidth.

For about $600 you can set up two active whips and an ANC-4 and
do better than a single loop (or set up a whip and an active broadband
loop with an ANC-4, so they can be co-located). So that would be
an upper limit on what the Kiwa might bring, but below that it would
still make sense.
