Steve, you get some interesting and desirable catches. What kind of
antenna(s) are you using up there in cold country?

Do you have them in an "L" or two antennas?

Would an "L" do the same as two antennas?

They are two seperate antennas.

Did you hear anything in San Antonio, I am outside Dallas and hear nothing.

No, I'm afraid not. That's why I asked Steve about his antennas. He must
have some nice real estate there. If I tried to build a 200 foot long wire I
would have to cross over at least four of my neighbors. And they're not into
short wave like I am. Small lots here in San Antonio.

If you have a very small lot,

you could run the wire back & fourth a few times;
