A phasing story from last night. I live 12 miles NNW from WGN's xmtr. I put down a 288 ft BOG at about 35 deg // a 177 ft one. Phase null of WGN peaked at about 50 dB and it was down close to S6 on Perseus. Sure enough there's audio seeming // KNR webstream which was mostly talk. Then from 0104-8 a couple of bouncy tunes sung by females clinched it leaving me no doubt. This using the Quantum Phaser which I think I'd like 2:1 or even 3:1 Vernier knobs for.
When I got Greenland at my WI DX paradise a decade ago, WGN and KNR were about S7-8 using longer terminated BOGs. At 12 miles distance I have no skywave to worry about. I couldn't get Greenland on 650 where even though WSCR and WSM are close together on the dial and in similar directions, WSCR IBOC crept up during best null on WSM and visa-versa. IBOC sucks but phasing ROCKS. Short BOGs aren't impressive 'til you phase them to create good back nulls. 73 KAZ _______________________________________________ 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]
