Letter also includes station history and transmitter specs (Jensen-CA) Here is a photo: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pi...1&id=106517568 Now that you've had the new antenna up for awhile, can you give us an evaluation? p OK - recall that it is an inverted L 30 feet high and 65 feet long, fed by ~40 feet of coax in two sections with both a grounded matching transformer at the base and a 1:1 grounded line isolator where the coax enters the house (which explains the two sections, one either side of the isolator). It runs above the rooftop in a nearly N-S direction. It's quite good - on its own it transmits less noise to the radio than the one it replaces, with a stronger signal, and it often provides a good match with the DX-Ultra as a phasing antenna for noise reduction. Using these two combined, I have been able to capture logs of audible stations that before were either in the mud or just faint carriers. I am very pleased with it; and I would not mind having another identical to it to run through the MFJ-1026 for noise reduction. In order to to do the hardest DX work, though, I will need to get away from town. Flee! |
