KVOO,Tulsa is 419 miles (674 KM,364 Nautical Miles,I looked it up at
indo.com,Find Distance) Northwest of where I live and I love Western Ranch Music.I can't pick up KVOO (kvoo.com) from where I live on my radio's.My yard area measures about 170 feet West to East and about 60 feet North to South.If I lay an antenna like that on my yard,would that let me pick up KVOO,Tulsa,Oklahoma real good on my radio's? Will that help/improve Shortwave listening too? I would probally need to bury the wire in my yard about two or three inches so that when I mow my yard in the Summertime,my lawnmower wouldn't be snagging on the wire.(one day when I was driving that old reject Clark forklift at Tan Son Nhut,sombody had left a whole roll of flat steel banding wire laying partway in the road.It was just wayyyyy too tempting,,,,, I just had! to get the right rear wheel of that forklift snagged on that roll of banding wire! Accidently on purpose,of course :{) cuhulin |
