Yes, TA activity on LW was good. I wish I did not have the noise level there though on LW, but it could be worse. I did find out that the 1500' Eastern beverage has a pretty decent lobe for TAs, where it doesn't work on MW TAs. Apparently the wire is too long aimed at 75 degrees to work on MW TA's. It was suggested a shorter wire running next to the beverage going East, so that might be an option, if a shorter wire would not affect the directivity of the 1500 footer. I sure don't want to mess up the directivity of the beverage for great domestic DX. I'll have to fiqure out what percentage 150-300 khz matches to 1500 feet and maybe use that same method on the length of a wire next to the beverage for MW TA use. That is a thought, since the beverage does do a nice job with TA's. Does anyone have any thoughts on that idea?
