[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] Field Day Planning ON SITE MEETING JUNE 2 at 2PM

[N4CWP at aol.com]

Jeremy/all,
 
These filters look like a reasonable deal and something we needed last  
year.  There was a lot of interference between stations and these appear to  
control that.
 
I wonder if they would give us a special price for multiple filters.   I 
would like to get one 20 mtr unit.

In researching interference issues and looking for a quick  bandpass filter 
that could be easily built, I came across the W3NQN bandpass  filter in a 
1998 issue of QST.  Unfortunately, sourcing parts for these  can be 
difficult, so I've come across commercial alternatives:  


http://www.arraysolutions.com/Products/wx0bbpf6.htm#200W



They sell 2 versions of this famous filter - an "Economy" mass produced  
version for about $65 that is "probably" tuned and a genuine "hand made"  
version by W3NQN (or acolytes) for a smidge over $100.  These filters are  
monoband filters and offer very little insertion loss (less than .5db in most  
cases).  They are suitable for tuned antennas or need to be placed  between 
the tuner and the radio.  I will most likely order the 40m one  for my station 
for Field Day.  This may actually be something that the  club should invest 
in for Field Days to come to all but eliminate cross band  interference due 
to splatter, antenna placement, and CW operators :P


Just passing the information on.

All,
Jack asked me to send  you this reminder that he would like to meet with 
the band captains, club  officers and other interested parties at the Field 
Day site at 2 PM on  Sunday June 2nd to lay out station locations and antenna 
placements, so we  don't have last minute issues.
Please be  prepared to outline what you will need that you have not lined 
up for your  station.  Think Power, Antenna, shelter etc.
