My own 75/80M antewnna will be a full size 80M dipole up at 50+ feet, fed with 450 ohm line.
I hear tim, who is only 500 odd miles from me, rather weak (typically only S9). His signals are soo low-angle that they almost miss my location. I used to hear him better, when he was living in Syracuse.

The leader of the pack, it should come as no surprise, is Tim/WA1HLR. Tim is probably the farthest away from here, yet consistently has the strongest signal. Now, I realize, not everyone can have a Mountain top and several ~200' tall towers in which to construct a 'Lazy H' antenna on bands as low as 160 meters... ______________________________________________________________ AMRadio mailing list List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Partner Website: http://www.amfone.net Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:[email protected]
