That's a nice setup. No doubt about it.

I hope to have room for an arrangement like that one day, but I fear it
won't happen until I retire.

The only really reliable HF Broadcast I get are the Asian transmitters
early in the West Coast morning. R. Australia used to be a fave,
before they just started repurposing ABC.

BBCWS Singapore is always there, too. Don't care much for the Chinese
or the Japanese.

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.

I agree Steve,

he also doesn't count Jews as "white people" I now sees he hates everyone.
So, I see who he is truly is. He's nothing but a racist bigot who only loves
himself.
But you know what? He hates himself. It shows in how bitter he is.

I surely wouldn't want to be his friend or neighbor. I wouldn't stop for him
if he needed any sort of help. I would just keep on going.

His life is comprised of hate and I now see this and realize what kind of a
person that is. No one likes that kind of person and he'll never get along
in the world. He likes no one and no one likes him. It's OK to criticize
things when there really is problem, but in this case david is the problem.

I won't waste typing his name in capital letters. To me, he's now a little
nobody, a nothing. All he is a talking, hating, bitter, lonely, unhappy sack
of putrefaction and guess what? He knows it deep inside.
He makes me depressed every time I read one of his posts which may not be
for much longer.

BUT, he serves as a perfect example of what NOT to be in life. He truly is
sickening. Truly....

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.

Yes I agree. 80% of your radio IS the antenna. Perhaps more.

Golly Doctor Hartley, you sure are swell. I'm talking about The
Chinese and Taiwanese and Japanese radio stations, not the people.


''Ethnicity and "race"

A stylised Mediæval world map, depicting Asia as the home of the
descendents of Shem (Sem). Africa is ascribed to Ham and Europe to
JaphethIn Medieval Europe all Asian peoples were thought of as
descendents of Shem. By the nineteenth century the term Semitic was
confined to the ethnic groups who have historically spoken Semitic
languages. These peoples were often considered to be a distinct race.
However, some anti-Semitic racial theorists of the time argued that
the Semitic peoples arose from the blurring of distinctions between
previously separate races. This supposed process was referred to as
Semiticization by the race-theorist Arthur de Gobineau. The notion
that Semitic identity was a product of racial "confusion" was later
taken up by the Nazi ideologue Alfred Rosenberg.

Modern science, in contrast, identifies an ethnic group's common
physical descent through genetic research. Though in genetic research
no significant common mitochondrial results have been yielded, genetic
Y-chromosome links between Near-Eastern peoples like the Palestinians,
Syrians and ethnic Jews have proved fruitful (see Y-chromosomal
Aaron). While population genetics is still a young science, it seems
to indicate that a significant proportion of these peoples' ancestry
comes from a common Near Eastern population to which (despite the
differences with the Biblical genealogy) the term Semitic has been
applied.''

You sure are wrapped up in the notion of race, aren't you? It obviously
means a great deal to you to be able to fit everyone neatly into the
right racial 'category'.

I'd like to see you bring that talk to Brooklyn one of these days.
There are a lot of people here who'd love to meet you.

Brooklyn means Broken Valleys.Pennsylvania means Penns Woods.

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.

How decent is the 330S for BCB listening? Passport says
that it's better than it used to be down there, but the
Wellbrook website doesn't claim the entire BCB band
for the 330S. I'm rather curious, since I'll eventually
have to give up my 50' wire to plant a tree in the backyard,
and one option is going with an active loop for the
space.

--Mike L.

If you mean MW listening as opposed to MW DX-ing, the 330S should be
fine. In fact, given your location, you could probably use something a
little *less* sensitive on MW.
