[Elecraft] Nearby Ham Interference

[k8kzb at charter.net]

My neighbor is a ham, right now I set up a webpage for us to coordinate what band we are on so that we are not on the same band at the same time. I originally set this up for field day but it also works good for us.


We are both CW ops and have not ran into issues yet but, there is always a but, we both want to make sure we do our best to protect our equipment which we both have K3's.


I have a beverage that i use for 40 through 160 and i have a front end protector on my rx input but what about 10 theough 30? I have a beam and rotatable dipole for those bands so how do i protect my receiver better on those bands?


Our tx antennas are roughly 300 feet apart, he has a vertical right now and i have both a vertical and a beam to switch between. He plans on a beam this summer and it will be the same distance apart.


Thoughts...
