NOW THAT the weather is warmer, but still not oppressively hot, it’s a good time to work on your antenna system. Forget commercial multiband verticals — virtually none of them provide a good signal on 75 meters. Instead, make yourself a home-made full-size 75 meter wire antenna — dipole, inverted L, or vertical. One of my favorite antennas is what I call the WB4AIO Inverted L Marconi: It’s 150 feet of wire in an inverted L configuration, fed at the base. It can be oriented 40 feet vertical and 110 feet horizontal, or, if you have more height, 70 feet vertical and 80 feet horizontal — or anywhere in between. It will work almost the same either way. Elevate the base 7 to 8 feet above the ground, and use just two to four elevated radials. Efficiency and performance will be excellent on 160, 75, and 40, with a nearly omnidirectional pattern. The antenna will also work well on 20 through 10, but the pattern will be complex. You can use a simple L-network tuner at the base, or feed with open wire line and two current baluns as I do, and tune right in your shack. Write to me using the contact form on this site if you want to know more.

Here’s my interpretation of some of the ideas brought forward on the Liberty Net this week:

• Since the voting system is permanently broken in this country, locking out any meaningful change, direct action will become the political expression of the future. (20 minutes)

• The so-called Trans-Pacific Partnership, which will open the floodgates to massive Asian immigration, is another treasonous betrayal of the American people. (23 minutes)

ONE OF THE RULES in the Liberty Net chat/discussion room is “be civil” and another is “no personal attacks on net participants.” Recently, one or two individuals have violated these rules, in one case by impersonating another operator. Be aware that this kind of behavior (or any attempt to impede the discussion or dominate the room) is not going to be tolerated, and may result in a ban on your computer from checking in to the chat.

Here’s my slant on a few of the concepts and events discussed on the net’s session this week:

• The controlled media, especially the fake “conservatives” at Fox News, are fawning all over arch-terrorist and murderer Benjamin Netanyahu, which the rest of the world sees for the evil monster that he really is. (13 minutes)

• Hillary Clinton is trying to gain the presidency by facilitating the genocide of our race: She has just promised to instantly legalize all the Mestizo illegal invaders by executive fiat. (25 minutes)

REMEMBER that the Liberty Net is a long-term institution — an integral part of amateur radio since 1974 — serving the public interest, convenience, and necessity through the free exchange of ideas and information that is so rare in today’s world of censorship and “Political Correctness.”

Here’s my brief summary of, and comments on, a few of the ideas and events brought up on the net’s session this week:

• When a nun wanted to come to America from the Middle East to discuss the problems faced by Christians there, she was denied entry. I wonder if any Jewish spokesman from Israel has ever been refused entry in recent years. (5 minutes)

• Race trumps nationality every time: The ability of the Old America, and Switzerland, to have a high level of culture and civilization — and the failure of the Mestizo world to do anywhere near the same — proves that it is race, not culture, religion, or language that matters most. (16 minutes)

NOW THAT the weather has warmed up, thunderstorm static has once again become a factor on 75 meters — making high, full-size, efficient antennas more important than ever for “getting through.” Short, low antennas can be all right for receiving — but they’re not capable of doing well on transmitting, no matter what the ad copy tells you.

Here’s my brief summary of, and comments upon, a few of the ideas brought up on the net this week:

• People who put any trust whatsoever in the Republican party to do anything positive for our people are wasting their time, wasting their lives, and must have been asleep since at least the Civil War. (23 minutes)

• The puppet regime in Kiev is receiving more high-tech weapons of death and destruction than ever from the regime in Washington, in order to slaughter their own people — yet the controlled media utter not a peep of protest. (27 minutes)

IF YOU listen regularly to the Liberty Net, you should already have heard the new pyramid antenna being used at N2IRJ. It’s not a commercially-made antenna, but a homebrew broadband dual inverted vee (shaped much like a pyramid, hence the name) with the elements — cut for around 3600 and 3900 kHz respectively — at right angles to each other. The main secret to its good performance is height: keeping the ends at 15 feet or more, and the center at 55 feet plus, keeps the efficiency up where it should be. We’d have made the antenna even higher if we could, but tree height was the limiting factor.

I’M SORRY that this article is late this week, but antenna construction — for a new Liberty Net antenna — took up much of my Liberty Net time this week. Nothing is more important from the standpoint of being heard than the efficiency and radiation pattern of your transmitting antenna, so it was time well spent — expect to hear the results on the air soon.

Here’s my small selection from, and commentary about, some of the discussions taking place on the net this week:

• One of the best writers on the subject of liberty — and religion and “democracy” too — is the great H.L. Mencken. Look him up, start reading, and both broaden and deepen your understanding. (29 minutes)

• The same corrupters that are genociding White people in Europe and America are now working on Japan — the company that controls Miss Universe pageants has now named a half-Japanese half-Congoid female as “Miss Universe Japan.” (58 minutes)
