Indeed - I have heard of folks who test longwires, BOG's and such that they have a tremendous effect even if not connected to a radio. After erecting a BOG, for instance, one will do a bandscan with just a portable with its internal antenna. If the BOG is not shunted at both ends, it will add some signal to the barefoot radio. So what Craig is experienced with a transmitter's tower would most likely have a similar effect, as I understand it.

The stations on the car radio generally get stronger, especially the ones to the East. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
