i tried a few combinations of audio high pass/low pass and different

can get the feeling that the signals come in one ear and out the other
as you tune across them... interesting once you get used to it on cw,
but probably not much use on other modes.


RTTY might have a ping-pong game on acid effect. *

Qrz forum has a new posting that states the USN
changed their antennas on the west coast to those tipped from the
horizontal for superior results. This is 60 years ago before the
advent of antenna computers. I would like to think that they saw the
advantages of using two vectors as opposed to just the single one for
gravity, which in a way confirms the diversity antenna shown on the
unwinantennas page which is sensitive to multi polarities. Ofcourse
many on this net will disagree in order to avoid change.
