The Yaesu VL-1000 Quadra HF Linear amplifier

A 144 MHz kilowatt amplifier project details the construction and performance of a high-power VHF linear using the GU74b tetrode. This Russian tube, equivalent to the Svetlana 4CX800, is noted for its conservative datasheet ratings, performing closer to 800-1000W anode dissipation in practical applications. The design prioritizes compactness and achieves 1.2 kW output with only 20W of drive power, demonstrating a 70% efficiency at 2.5 kV plate voltage. The amplifier has been successfully deployed in demanding _EME_ (Earth-Moon-Earth) operations since June 1994. Challenges encountered during development included achieving stability with a grid-1 input configuration. The author, _CT1DMK_, opted not to publish the full design due to its complexity, suggesting it might be difficult for less experienced builders to replicate successfully. However, he invites direct contact for those with specific interest in the design. Future plans include a "144MHz GS35b compact amplifier" project, promising another kilowatt-plus design. This resource offers insights into high-power VHF amplifier construction and the practical application of specific power tubes.

Operating a G5RV antenna effectively often raises questions regarding its installation and performance across various bands. This archived discussion from the TowerTalk mailing list captures a real-world exchange, where KI0DZ shares practical insights from her own setup. She details her G5RV strung diagonally between trees, sloping from 25 feet to 10 feet, and notes its use with a Yaesu FT-757's automatic antenna tuner. KI0DZ recounts working 80 meters with 100 watts, achieving contacts up to 1000 miles, and confirms the general requirement for an antenna tuner. The thread also touches upon the G5RV's performance in an inverted V configuration, with a recommended angle of at least 90 degrees, and the ease of building one's own versus purchasing a manufactured version. While not an "antenna expert," KI0DZ's field results and direct experience provide a useful perspective on the G5RV's capabilities for "modest purposes" across multiple bands, offering practical answers to common inquiries about height, configuration, and band coverage.

A 90-foot vertical antenna constructed from **aluminum irrigation tubing** is detailed, focusing on its innovative raising and lowering mechanism. The resource describes a **45-foot ginpole** system, allowing a single operator to erect or lower the antenna in minutes. It covers the mechanical design, including the pivot base, insulated joints for the tubing sections, and guy wire attachment points. The antenna consists of two 30-foot sections of 4-inch tubing and one 30-foot section of 2-inch tubing, stacked with the smaller diameter at the top. The electrical design incorporates PVC "condulet" boxes at the 30-foot and 60-foot points, housing relays to change the effective height for multi-band operation on 160, 80, 40, and 30 meters. Ferrite rod inductive chokes are used for DC control and to tune out gap capacitance. The antenna is fed with 1000 feet of open wire line, connected to a matching transformer comprising stacked toroids and a coaxial/toroidal balun. Grounding is achieved with a 3x3 foot grid of 16-gauge tinned copper wires with soldered crossovers.

Demonstrates the design and construction of a 9-element Yagi antenna for the **70 cm band** (432 MHz), based on the DK7ZB concept. The resource details EZNEC+ calculations for a single antenna, providing gain, sidelobe suppression, and front-to-back ratio figures. It also presents a comprehensive analysis of stacking two such antennas, including optimal stacking distance (1000 mm) and the resulting performance enhancements for the stacked array, such as an increased gain of 17.03 dBi. The article includes detailed drawings, wire file dimensions in millimeters, and azimuth/elevation plots for both single and stacked configurations. Practical construction steps are documented with original photographs, illustrating element mounting, the **28 Ohm matching system** using two quarter-wave 75 Ohm transmission lines, and the critical N-connector wiring. It also covers the iterative process of fine-tuning the driven element length to achieve a return loss of 20 dB, validating the EZNEC+ simulation results with actual measurements.

Commercial software developed exclusively for scanning 25 to 1300 MHz. No other PCR1000 software offers as many innovative scanning features.

Presents a construction project for a linear-loaded 40-meter rotatable dipole, detailing the design evolution from mid-element coils to 300-ohm twinlead loading. It covers material selection, including repurposed fishing poles and EMT conduit, and outlines the assembly process for the antenna elements and mounting plate. The resource provides specific measurements for element lengths and linear loading sections, along with SWR plots demonstrating the antenna's resonance at 7.035 MHz with a 1.1:1 SWR, and bandwidth up to 7.120 MHz below 2:1 SWR. The article documents the antenna's performance during various RTTY and CW contests, including the SARTG RTTY and SCC RTTY contests in August 2006, and the ARRL DX CW and CQWW WPX RTTY contests in February 2007. It reports successful operation at 500-1000W, noting improved performance after replacing a faulty coax cable. Specific DX contacts from British Columbia, including stations in Europe and South Africa, are listed, illustrating the antenna's capability despite its shortened length and relatively low height of 55 feet. The content highlights practical considerations such as weatherproofing the connections and supporting the fiberglass elements to prevent sagging. It also includes a brief comparison to an inverted-V at similar height and a ground-mounted vertical, noting the rotatable dipole's quieter reception. The author shares insights into the iterative design process and tuning adjustments made to achieve optimal resonance.

The Icom PCR1000 review by GW0KIG

Demonstrates how to construct an automatic band decoder, moving beyond manual selector switches for antenna and filter control. It addresses the challenge of varying band data outputs from different transceivers: Icom rigs provide voltage values, Yaesu rigs use Binary Coded Decimal (BCD), and Kenwood rigs lack direct band data output. The resource highlights a clever solution utilizing logging software like _CT (K1EA)_ and _DX4WIN_ to emulate Yaesu's BCD output via a PC's printer port, making the decoder compatible with any rig. The author details experiences building decoders based on designs by Bob _K6XX_ and Guy _ON4AOI_, noting K6XX's simple TTL chip design and ON4AOI's more comprehensive, opto-isolated unit capable of controlling ten outputs and bandpass filters like the _Dunestar_. It also references a _W9XT_ board design, which Steve Wilson, G3VMW, modified with BD140 transistors for source drivers, emphasizing safety. The author successfully cased an ON4AOI-based decoder in an old modem case, connecting it to an FT1000MP or a PC printer port to drive remote relays and a Dunestar Band Pass Filter.
