The Antenna

Get lots of questions about the antenna. Here is a link to it at Palomar Engineers. It is a terrific antenna and is also great for transmitting on the ham bands.

Here is the SWR plot for it when used for transmitting:


I confirmed this plot with an antenna analyzer after it was mounted at 65 ft. high and it was very close. The antenna is about 130 feet long and is supported on both ends as well as the center.

Receiver Timeouts Increased

For your wintertime listening pleasure, the session timeouts and maximum daily times have been increased. On receivers 1, 2, and 3 there is a 3 hour per session timeout and a 10 hour per day maximum per person. On receiver 4 there is a 6 hours per session timeout and a 18 hour per day maximum per person. Timeouts are instituted to make sure that inactive sessions don't tie up a receiver and prevent others from using it. If your session times out you can reconnect up to the daily maximum. https://n1nte.blogspot.com/p/online-kiwisdr-receivers.html
