Hi John, I am curious about the trees in front of your home, what are hey?
I
also see you are surrounded by mountains, does that disturb your SWL
activities? I was using google earth, you probably guessed. Just Curious.
They are just decorative small trees planted all a long the street by
the municipality for shade and ornamentation.
Yes, my house is at 236 meters high and the mountains tower 1400
meters above me (770/4600ft).
So effectively the low angle far off DX signals get blocked and
reception in Montagu is awful.
Hence my going to the coast twice a year at the equinoxes for special
"sea gain" effect super DXing.
