[Elecraft] Local Beacon Splatter

[John Stengrevics]

Many thanks for all the suggestions.  Some points:

1.  I am literally a couple of miles from the K1MS/B beacon.  So, it has always been really loud here.

2.  I did change antennas & feedline recently.  I now have a 9 element LFA at 50 feet fed with 7/8” hardline to the rotor and Messi & Paoloni Ultraflex 13 to the antenna.

3.  I don’t believe that the increased splatter coincided with putting up the new antenna & feedline.  I haven’t experienced any other antenna-related or other events.  The splatter from the beacon is directional.

4.  I will send K1SG an email.

73,

John

They contacted me to design and build a rugged small yagi for that beacon as all the previous commercial ones they used fell apart in the winter.   I am sure those guys would help you with the key clicks.  K1SG has his email listed on QRZ.com <http://qrz.com/>.
