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

[KF7IJZ - Jeremy Kolonay]

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.
