Radio somewhere between Six Sigma and Infinity [.] ~ RHF

AM dxers on the xtreme ??

When my neighbours telly is on, I can't dig further into the noise .. ;-)

When there is noise on your radio, does your body feel the electricity
around ??

what would be extreme ?? sit on an island, away from electricity and
even digital camera's too (put your camera close to your receiver and
listen to the noise ..)

We had one member here, some years ago, who took his Drake SW-2 out
of town, found a stretch of Interstate highway with a steel guard rail,
and connected to that for what became an approximation of a Beverage
that was, in one case, about 12 miles long. He reported some
interesting results


Overkill? Wonder what the beamwidth would be on something like that length vs.
frequency would be?



That's a good question. He did report some occasional noise issues.
But some nice MW and SW captures.


It certainly was a unique innovation.
