Re: [IRCA] IRCA Digest, Vol 127, Issue 37



Hi Gary,on the phaser I use a 35' vertical antenna for one antenna and it
is fed directly to the phaser . The other antenna comes from a control box
and it is a combination of 1 to 3 antennas switched in or out to minimize
the station I want to phase. Then it's just a matter of tweaking the phaser
controls to reduce the iboc noise. The 6 antennas connect to a remote
switch out in the tool shed and I can combine up to 3 of them with the
control box next to the radio. The antennas are a 300' ground level loop, a
PAR end fed inverted L, a vertical 150' loop fed with 450 ohm twin lead
oriented N x S, a NW oriented double KAZ, a 120' W x N sloping L, and a
200' vertical loop oriented SE x NW. None of the antennas are above being
reconfigured if the mood strikes me. Most of this was achieved by trial and
error and not based on any theory except to properly match each antenna to
the feed line using home made torroid baluns. Being retired I have plenty
of time to work on them and adjust and repair them as necessary.  Hope that
helps,   Jim

Hi Jim,
Could you give me details on the antennas you are using and how you are
using?the phaser? I am playing around with some stuff here in Southington,
CT and could use your input. 73,GaryWA1TJB

 I recently had my old Quantum Phaser tuned up at dxtools.com. Trying it out
I discovered that although I can't completely null local WTIC or WBZ, their
signals can reduced enough to dx the adjacent frequencies without the nasty
iboc splatter. This is something I haven't been able to do in a long time.
As I write, I got a nice ID on 1070 WFLI Lookout Mtn TN.? ? Jim? Spfld Ma.
