Hi OM, Not sure what you are responding to, but the implication you offer of an active antenna surviving in a field of noise better than a remote antenna is a sure cause of wonderment. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC A small active antenna can SOMETIMES really help in a nasty QRM situation. By trying the antenna in mulitple locations, one can SOMETIMES find a quit spot. Active antennas are near the bottom of my want list. But, when I worked at the University of Kentucky, I was able to find a fairly quit spot so we could receive WWV. It took several tries, but the results were well worth the effort. We had a ESE WWV controlled master clock. I would sometimes snag the antenna to to some SWL when I worked at night. Loops and "long" wires, even dipoles cut for 10/15MHz were useless because of all the class A digital noise makers in the studio equipment, and the 2 PC labs that were close. Terry |
