You're probably out of luck.
An actual beam antenna would work, meaning one with large forward gain and resulting low response in most other directions, which you aim AT the station you want to listen to. More dollars than most SW listeners want to spend, if one is even available for the frequency you want. A small antenna can produce NULLs which you put on the stations you don't want, eg. a loop or a loop+whip phased array, but the nulls are small and everything else still pours in as before, and at night the direction of arrival is not likely to be stable enough to null even a single station unless it's a local (and so has a stable direction). A long wire has forward gain, though I forget whether it's along the antenna or broadside to it. It's certainly along in the case of a beverage antenna, so maybe it's along. Aim that at the station you want and see if it helps. Be sure to look up the great circle direction, they're not what you'd think. -- Ron Hardin On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk. |
