Default John, How is MW DX going during your "winter"?

Just wondering if the winter static plays havoc on
your DX 1 Pro? I wanted to try one before he stopped
making them, and I waited too long. Good luck on your
next trip. Keep warm.

Hi Drifter,
Winter static is not a problem here - the summer Tropicl storms are,
and the DX1 is better than most in keeping it quiet.
According to a side by side I did with the Wellbrook ALA 1530 it was
quieter than that as well. Every one who visits my shack compliments
me on how quiet the DX1 is. See:
http://www.dxing.info/community/view...hp?f=17&t=2580

As for avalability, RF Systems still carry the DX1 in their shop at
E550, but I do see Universal does not have it at the moment.

Have fun and good DX

JP


Morning John.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, read your reports a while back. I have
been watching the Universal site for this antenna. Universal is about
a 2 hour trip for me, and I'm always looking for a reason to make the
trip there. Here, it's lighting in the summer, and static in the winter.
Love my Wellbrooks, but always collecting info for the next antenna
project. as always, thanks for the info.

Drifter...
