I don't agree that Win7 is more unbreakable, it broke plenty and that's why I went back to XP. Haven't tried VirtualBox on a Win7 machine, but you might run into problems with drivers from the Linux guest, but it is certainly more convenient in general not to have to re-boot.<br /><br />If for no other reason I prefer to Linux on my HD in addition to Windows as it takes very little space and is a great backup OS if Windows fails. You can do a lot of repair and data retrieval from the Linux side. Vice versa doesn't work, though. There is a message in that which also has an appeal for Linux if you know what I mean.<br /><br />73,<br /><br />TI2/NA7UCasey Bahrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01638230726171327005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714430268801266608.post-33652602304519403532011-05-07T23:08:27.275+02:002011-05-07T23:08:27.275+02:00Hi Kevin

Compared with a half-sized (52 feet long)G5RV at same height on 40m and 17m both the same but MFJ loop much less TV/Mains/computer noise etc. Now at new QTH, very small garden so is Vertical hanging from wooden pole - bottom of loop 3 feet from ground! Even better than previous. 40M stateside stations 55 to 59 0200hrs UTC. Yes, tuning is a pain. I like to jump about and trawl across all the bands. I just "stab" at the fast up/down buttons and peak for maximum "hiss" (AGC = Fast) then fine tune the slow up/down buttons. Before installation I had to adjust the internal "coupling loop" for best/lowest SWR on my preferred bands. Controller tunes most to less than 2:1 but some just under 3:1. Use Kenwood internal ATU to then match RIG to loop.<br /><br />73 Alan G0TUD EnglandAlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06572537428979572495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714430268801266608.post-12172378575102392112011-05-04T00:58:34.344+02:002011-05-04T00:58:34.344+02:00Hi Julian and Martin!

I have purchased a noise canceler from MFJ to try to cancel out as much QRM as possible together with a pa0rdt-Mini-Whip. I have not yet tested this setup. My experience is that my signal is getting out with the mag loop but I can't hear the other station. The antenna is mounted on a tripod inside my upstairs shack and I'm running 5w SSB. <br /><br />I will update my blog as soon as I've done some tests with the noise canceler.<br /><br />http://www.py2mg.qsl.br/Arquivos_PDF/pa0rdt%20whip.pdf<br />http://www.mfjenterprises.com/Product.php?productid=MFJ-1026<br /><br />72/73!

Wondering how your MFJ magnetic loop is ...Hi Mads,<br /><br />Wondering how your MFJ magnetic loop is working. I am living in a first-floor apartment and I keep coming back to the MFJ magnetic loop as my best option because I have no space or permission to put up any antennas and there are no trees to string wires in. Are you using the antenna inside your house in the shack? That may be what I'd have to do in the winter months, although I do have a small patio I could work with, but it's still ground-level and quite close to the building. I am hesitant to purchase the antenna because of the price but also I don't want to be disappointed with poor performance.<br /><br />Kevin, K0KDS<br />Des Moines, Iowa<br />http://www.k0kds.com/Kevin Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09805822881095856771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714430268801266608.post-31454494814922349282011-04-12T09:56:21.264+02:002011-04-12T09:56:21.264+02:00Thanks for your comments and suggestions!

I think both the Outback antennas and monoband whips are as good as, if not even better than the ATAS-100 but I love the fact that I can change band on the FT-857 and just press TUNE on the radio to QSY to another band. I have been looking at this mount from MFJ. Do any of you know if it is suitable for a HF antenna like the ATAS?<br /><br />http://www.mfjenterprises.com/Product.php?productid=MFJ-340<br /><br />72/73!

I use the K400 mount with mono band antennas. Now it seems from what you are saying you want to use roof racks as the mount. I did see on the site you had as a link a universal mount. Maybe you could get some U clamps mount it to the rack and then add a ball mount to mount the antenna too.VE9KK https://www.blogger.com/profile/04720839744779758420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714430268801266608.post-69576010428827493452011-04-10T10:57:38.205+02:002011-04-10T10:57:38.205+02:00Hello Mads, great results I think with the mobile....Hello Mads, great results I think with the mobile. I recently purchased a outback antenna but never tested it yet. I also have a magnet mount but a single one. Seems to be, from what I read on the internet, one magnet is too small for such antenna.

I usually send him a description of my idea of the design and he will provide a sample by e-mail. After checking out the sample I let him know if the design needs to be changed in any way.<br /><br />I use a program called LogPrint to print QSO data directly on the cards or to Avery labels based on ADIF output from my electronic logger. The beauty of this piece of software is that it handles simple IF statements. I use this to decide whether to print TNX QSL! or PSE QSL! on the cards based on the contents in the QSL_RCVD adif field.<br /><br />http://www.ux5uoqsl.com/<br />http://www.logger32.net/files/logprintfull300.zip<br />http://www.logger32.net/files/logprintupgrade310.zip<br /><br />72/73!
