[HCDX] Changes in antenna
--- Begin Message --- After adding a 300 foot piece of wire // with my Eastern beverage, 1 1/2 feet above the ground right under it, I disconnected the ground rods I had been using and hooked up the counterpoise. What a difference in pattern! Many frequencies were mumble jumbles. Here is some of the more interesting stuff: 1170 XEFEMMEXICO, Hermosillo, good and dominant often way over KLOK-San Jose, which is normally a strong dominant. XEFEM with RAM mx and lots of "Radio Bonita" IDs. A spot at 0440 UTC 10/29 mention "Hermosillo". Great music. New! Listed as 1 KW nights. Unbelieveable! (PM-OR) 1180 CUBA, La Habana, good over KLAY with nice older Cuban mx non-stop with few anmts until 0530 UTC 10/29 then fanfare music and mentions of "La Habana" and "Radio Rebelde". I haven't heard a Cuban this strong for many years. (PM-OR 1230 KZZR OREGON, Burns, totally dominant over local KKEE, with C&W mx at KZZR ID at 0430 UTC 10/29. (PM-OR) This is indeed interesting. I just ran the wire out through the blackberry brambles (my fingers feel it too!!!) about 1 1/2 feet above the ground and 3 1/2 feet below the Eastern beverage. The wire is not terminated. I wonder if I should? I was going to run the counterpoise or BOG the whole length of the beverage, but I ran out of daylight. Now I am wondering if I should. Anyone have any throught on this?
