Hi I had a day off yesterday. I spent part of the time putting up a new antenna outside. At the moment it's only about 50' or so long and about 5' high at feedpoint sloping down to about 2' high .It's pointed almost due south off about 155 degrees.Maybe 160. As a result ,my South American catches are much better now,than with the almost due east 150' long wire. As I write this out ,I am tuned to 6020.3 in AM with the RX320 hearing the Peruvian ,Radio Victoria at a S-6 level or better with slight fading.Proof that a good radio isn't much without a decent antenna,especially one pointed in the desired direction. My logs are on my site,till I figure out how to convert my database into a text file,it's the best I can do :) -- Chris Dx'ing from Louisville Ky Using Drake R-4A, Ten-Tec RX320 and 150 longwire-23 ft vertical.
