The old LNA (1990) with MGF 1502 (placed in shack, 0,45 dB NF), TNX OK1VPZ

Because of terrible QRM from CDMA "Ufon" provider we had to use cavity filter (att. about -2,5dB)..

I compared my RX with Jiri, OK2POI. He has 4x12el yagi with gain 19,5dBd, cable with the same attenuation like me (-1dB) and LNA with the Noise figure of 0,45dB. However Jiri has real RX measured with EME stations 6dB better. While the calculated difference is 19,5 - 17 = 2,5 then 6 - 2,5 = 3,5dB. As Jiri, OK2POI has his QTH in quiet mountains, my RX is killed by the local noise + QRM, digital TV an 3m radio tower just 200m far from antennas + UFON cdma provider for -3,5dB. PS: I use cavity filter only during elevation below 15degrees.

January 2010 - New band pass filter

On 15th January 2010 I got new 70cm cavity band pass filter. Measurements provides after retuning:

Old cavity B.P.F. from NMT network: transit att. of -2,0dB, return att. -18dB, selectivity ± 600 kHz / 10dB

New cavity B.P.F. (on left): transit-att. of -1,3dB, return att. -20dB, selectivity ± 100kHz/± 1dB; ±10MHz /±30dB, middle QRG 432.100 MHz

New B.P.F. provides 0,7dB better RX and allowed me QSO with W7MEM. Except big advantage of transit attenuation new cavity filter is much more stable with temperature - when we put if from 20°C warm room to -10°C balcony and then get it back (after few hours), the frequency changed just some few kHz off - the result: Compared to the old cavity B.P.F. I don't need to tune it manually.

Initially licensed in 1954 with a General class call of W3ZBE while living in Eastern Pennsylvania, then in 1959 with a Extra class call of K0RZJ while living in Kansas City Missouri, then in 1977 with the present call K0RZ while living in Boulder, Colorado. My Father who was my Elmer became a silent key in 1978, and held the calls of W3LCL and K0RZH. My Brother initially licensed as K3ALM now holds the call K0RZI. The photo shows the K0RZ 432 EME antenna composed of 8 each K1FO 22 element Yagis. Each box of four Yagis can be manually rotated to either horizontal or vertical polarization in a few hours. The array is presently set for vertical polarization. The aluminum box in the center of the horizontal boom houses the Tx/Rx relays and the 0.3 NF preamp. Transmit power is 1500 Watts from an Eimac 8938. This system has been in use since 1991. CW is the preferred mode of operation. 73 Bill, K0RZ
