wrote in message I don't particularly care which
races and/or nationalities you don't
like, but I grow weary of your incessant whining about poor reception.
If you don't like it, lay out some more wire.

I lived on the west coast for the better part of my life and I got fairly
good reception but then again I spent a lot of time on my ant's. You would
have went " WOW
nice!!" I had four long wires and two inverted Vs and a Eves Dropper type
of tuned dipole I made. I was lucky to have the ground for it all. I live
here in Southern MN now and I do like getting the increased signal gain
that this region has an advantage of in regards to European DX and the low
power pirate ops etc... The bottom line is a good ant is the #1 priority.
It takes work and experimentation to get your ant right and most neglect
it because it is work.

Yes I agree. 80% of your radio IS the antenna. Perhaps more.
