This Week at Radio Station N8VCL 2-8Jul22

  34 Contacts, 3 continents, greatest distance: LU7HH in Argentina at 5575.6 miles. Seems kinda rinky-dink compared to 85 contacts last week...

What temp do you like for soldering in your radios?

Thanks guys. Doh! I'll try it again, the right way... appreciate your responses!

Need suggestions:
50KW unrestricted AM station tower 6 miles fm qth. Makes a mess on HF. Got a cap and coil to make a trap to shunt 1110KHz to ground and pass the rest to the rig.
Cap: 365pF adjustable
Coil: 220uH toroid.
Put them in parallel. Antenna center conductor to the tank and trxcvr.
Shield to shield on trxcvr.
Output of tank to shield, and later to stati in n ground.
Practically zero difference.
Halp! ; ) Any tips?
