And this is easy to say when you have 5 acres in a semi-rural area, hi hi.
As it happens, I do not use a remote RX (it shows!). But at my QTH I can barely
fit a K9AY (though it's compromised by masts and other antennas that are
necessarily close). I really dig working what DX I can on 160 but

Very interesting George.
I was seeing very interesting Prop at my extremely north MN QTH a week ago.
48.250 north. This time of year the sun is very low in the ski all day.
I could hear EU on all low bands most of the day!
Sort of a bit north of you but still interesting similarity.

Hi Joe,
I live in a small village. Even so, 500 meters isn't going to buy
anything. If we were overwhelmed by noise we would still be overwhelmed
by exactly the same noise. So this is going to be yet another thread
about whose ox is being gored. All those noises don't bother anybody's
A DXCC rule change to allow shared use of a low band RX site that is located
within a specified distance of the main station makes sense to me.
My station hears OK, not top tier by any means, but we work our share when the
local power lines behave. For the last month, I have had a single
I think a more practical "Station Location and Boundary, would be to have the RX and TX located in either "in the same grid
square" or "within 100 KM" and of course within the same DXCC
Entity.
I think 500 meters is more than enough of a "circle" to contain both
transmit and receive
A few UK clubs are doing this or have it in mind, including my own. I think
it is the best thing a club can do for its members.

The rules say "transmitters and receivers". They don't refer to antennas being
spread over acreage. 73, Greg-N4CCSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy

I am out at C6AGU (FL14) with good 160 m TX and RX antennas.
Last night, around 05:00 UTC, I heard a ZS station calling me. I thought no
way, I must have copied the call wrong: the gray-line window showed full
daylight there. Well, not really: I just got an e-mail from him that he was
calling
