If what you see is objectionable we make a set of filters that install at the antenna/element connection that will help. Let me know what you think and if needed I will describe the filters to you.

And that you for the quick e-mail reply.? Tuning up and down the band, I did notice some BCB interference. I haven't had that problem with my beverages, so I am thinking I should pickup another PS that has a higher voltage output today. Do you think I should I should also get some sort of BCB filter ?

I am using the Hi-Z 8 Circle Array. ?Just finished it up a few weeks ago. ?Since that was the case, my 160 season has been kind of slow, though I did work the FT5 a few days ago. ?Now I am listening for the TO7 and the 5I0. I am using the remote RF switching of the array, and it works very well. I mounted the transmitter in a plastic NEMA box on our TV tower at about 40 feet so it can see the receive unit at the array about 1,100 feet from the house. ?I mounted the receive unit in another NEMA box at on a pole about 8 feet height. ? Also I am using the power over the coax cable power injectors. ?As it turns out, I am feeding the cable with 35 volts so I can see 13.8 volts at the array. (when the array is connected) The coax cable I am using has a copper clad center conductor. (my bad) as it has a ton of voltage loss. When I redo the RG-6 cable runs for next season, I will be replacing the current RG-6 coax with a pure copper conductor. Brian, KG8CO P.S. If you want some photo's please let me know. ________________________________ From: Lee K7TJR To: Hi-Z Group Sent: Saturday, February 8, 2014 6:41 PM Subject: [Hi-zreceivingarraydiscussions] Two items today ?

They were 4K6FO and the recent operation at FT5ZM. Alim, 4K6FO, was only running 100w and that's a tough part of the world to work from the Midwest. My ambient noise level out here in the rural Iowa countryside is very, very low which allows my four square transmit array to here quite well. In many cases it hears as well as the 8 circle array as I'm not noise limited. However, in the case of 4K6FO he was extremely weak and not copyable at all on the TX array. He was Q3-Q4 on the Hi-Z 8 circle. I was able to successfully make the QSO on 16 January (and not a large number of NA did). The situation with FT5ZM was not quite as marginal as they were Q2-Q3 on the TX array but solid Q4 on the Hi-Z. I might have been able to make the QSO without the Hi-Z (not 100% sure) but with the 8 circle it certainly made it easier and gave me confidence that I had a valid QSO at the time. I have had at least four or five similar situations over the past two or three years. In addition, we now have three Hi-Z arrays (160m 8 circle, 160/80 8 circle, 40m 4 square) at the N0NI contest station. They have all performed well have contributed greatly toward our success in the contests. Not only are the Hi-Z products terrific performers, but the Hi-Z crew and support are excellent. 73. ..

I am blessed with a very quiet location and it is amazing what you can hear when the noise is that low. Sorry about your line noise problem. It must be pretty bad if you have to get the FCC involved! No, I am not using any APF or noise reduction. I do have the filter tighten down some but that is all. I am still learning how to get the recordings better. Today I now figured out and can record both sides of the QSO now. Very Best, Rich K7ZV > Yes, I got the file Rich thank you. I worked them right after you shut off > the recoding.
