wrote in message I don't particularly care which races and/or nationalities you don't like, but I grow weary of your incessant whining about poor reception. If you don't like it, lay out some more wire. Steve I lived on the west coast for the better part of my life and I got fairly good reception but then again I spent a lot of time on my ant's. You would have went " WOW nice!!" I had four long wires and two inverted Vs and a Eves Dropper type of tuned dipole I made. I was lucky to have the ground for it all. I live here in Southern MN now and I do like getting the increased signal gain that this region has an advantage of in regards to European DX and the low power pirate ops etc... The bottom line is a good ant is the #1 priority. It takes work and experimentation to get your ant right and most neglect it because it is work. -- 73 and good DX. B.H.

Yeah, I love to mess around with wire antennas. I really have no room
at all for it because I live in an apartment. However, I'm blessed because the management company that oversees my building doesn't seem to care what I do or what I put on the roof. So, I've been going up on the roof periodically to experiment with long runs of wire. Eventually, I'm going to get at least one 200 ft random wire antenna up there. The key will be to get it 15 ft or so above the roof, so that it's clear of the building's noise envelope. There's some exposed structural steel up there that should make an excellent ground. I have a Wellbrook 330S loop and I'm very happy with it, but I can't lose itch to mess around with wire once in a while. Steve |

I don't have as much room as I did out there but I do have 70' pine trees so I ran a wire 50' across the yard and strait up the trunk to about 10' from the top of the tallest tree so I guess I got about 110' there and I did the same with the other tree but about 30' less. they run almost 90 degrees from one and other so I switch between the two for best reception. Contrary to what some think, you can bend long wires around your QTH. Steve Lare I think has a bent long wire and he reports great results with his setup. -- 73 and good DX. B.H.

One is 70' and runs N-S, and the other is 200' and runs W-E. Both are transformer matched. dxAce Michigan USA http://www.iserv.net/~n8kdv/dxpage.htm |

Another difference is that dxAce has his ~ 9 foot off the ground and Brian is up 60 to 70 foot in the air so Brian's wire should pick up more signal theoretically but dxAce's wires will have a lower noise floor. dxAce reports using the pre-amp rarely if ever so his antennas pick up enough signal. -- Telamon Ventura, California |
