Hi Michael:

I've found, that if you put up "More Wire" you get " More Signal".

A John Carr book says if you Quadruple the antenna length to get a 6 DB
( Noteceable) change in signal strength. Found that to be true,


Have you also noticed there is a 6dB increase in noise?
The only way to get increased sugnal strength for horizontal antennas ( i.e.
S/N) is to make the antenna directional- so there is an increase in one direction
at the expense of another direction. Not very useful unless you can rotate the
array.
