Did you wind both windings in the same direction or in
opposite directions? Wonder if it would make a difference?
I Always enjoy reading your antenna articles.

Second antenna project was a vertical. I had a 7 foot
length of 2 PVC pipe. I got two 35' lengths of #14 THHN
wire. I made two windings from the center to each end. I
used a 450 to 50 ohm transformer I had kicking around.
Probably took ten minutes to make.
Did you wind both windings in

Good Morning:
Listened from 1337-1416 utc. Conditions down from yesterday morning here.
Upper channels are really poor this season. Have not heard 1503 JOUK yet,
1422 JORF when heard is usually weak.

Just tried it. Took readings on seven stations from 550 to 1590. Rewound
one side in the opposite direction. Took the same readings. No difference
at all.

You seem to do better on CBU than do I, although I can get them sometimes,
but other things are more likely on 690 to the west and it is in the middle
of my IBOC mess here so I no longer spend too much time there.
CX were VERY good to the west/WNW last night from here in IL...ie CKWX in
Things were definitely down on yesterday here, and what was left was
purely Japan. The big guns were all in, though 747 and 828 both faded
out for a while. Also noted Japan on 531 (doing quite well), 567, 666,
954, 1134, and 1242. Korean and Chinese noted yesterday were entirely
missing
When I left my house at 14:25 UTC, there was fr. audio on
531(JJ), 558, 567, 576, 585, 594, 621, 639, 747, 756, 774, 828, 972...

I wonder if KKOB knows about the issue? Maybe someone should let KKOB
