Dennis,
Thanks for sending the link to the Engineering report of July 2008.
Interesting that KTRP 1130 Mt Angel was mentioned with possible interference.
KLPM 1150 splatters some on KTRP signal. I believe Hatfield Dawson are
doing the engineering for KTRP.

Very interesting subject indeed! I didn't have a DX-150 but I LOVED my

I used to pay attention to things going on (behind the scenes) in

I saw this on eBay. I could not tell what type stranded or non, single
conductor or whatever but 500' for $11.95 + shipping, sounded good. Can
you tell if it's BOG Worthy? Thanks and Merry Christmas!
Item number: 170419950780
Auction Link (may truncate):
Saw another seller had 500' rolls for $9.99. Seems to be similar.

Yes - On the Ground (only). My plan is to find a spooler and go to the
soccer fields near work. Unwind it and DX, then crank it back on the
spool. I also have a crate for the Crate Loop project and for as
gentle as I would be with it, I think 18 g would be okay. NOT if I was
leaving outdoors
Likewise I'm really fascinated with EWE's to include David Hamilton's
Slinky version. Unfortunately they may be too quiet for use here and
may need an amp. Wonder if one could put a EWE on the ground?

Kevin Schanilec on Bainbridge Island, WA recently did some careful tests
between his Slinky EWE and an identical one made with normal wire. The
results really surprised him...here's what he said:

BOG - if you really mean On the Ground then it might be. I've never done a
BOG. But I really like 12 Guage stranded wire for loop antennas. Usually
about $50 at Home Depot for 500 feet. Found better deals on eBay but
shipping usually makes it about the same price. Brown is REALLY stealth !
I'm presently in love with big loops. I wonder how a portable loop of maybe
15 feet high by 45 feet long compares to a 500 ft BOG ? I can tell you the
loop is really quiet with no reliance on an earth ground. The longwires I
strung up 300 feet, 10 feet in the air were VERY noisy.
Bill
Hmmm, my 23'x30' loop/flag is a bit in need of an amp.
My 45'x75' SuperLoop actually has too much gain and I need to engage
attenuators on the rx !

All night Saturday night, into early Sunday morning, there was a strong

package that sounded like three stations being ID'ed at once. It
sounded like Plainfield and Newport and maybe Oakland. Maybe the towns

Hi all:
As a follow-up to what Guy mentioned below, I tried a couple more things:
- I tried to stretch a standard Slinky out far enough to get the turns
per foot ratio down far enough, but standard Slinkys don't stretch that
far - they just permanently deform (every child's nightmare...)
- I
