• Corned Fed Delta Loop - Author found a ratio between the lengths of the sides of the Delta Loop that give reasonably low SWR into a 50 ohm coaxial cable almost independent of the high above ground and other surroundings. This ratio also gives good results no matter orientation. Includes an online delta loop antenna calculator.

• Types of Coax in Satellite operations - Coax is a very important part of a satellite station. It is almost as important as the antennas you choose. This article discusses choosing coaxial cables for satellite communication, emphasizing factors like line loss. It compares types such as RG-8, RG-58, Belden 9913/9913F, LMR-400, and hardline, highlighting their impact on signal preservation.

• Repair or Replace Electrolytic Capacitors - For low voltage applications, like cathode bypass capacitors, most vintage types have an axial configuration, which is less common today but still available. Electrolytic power supply caps likely constitute the single worst liability in old audio, radio and test equipment.
