Diversity IS the way to go** But if you lack the capability, you need an additional RX antenna that covers more directions and/or vertical angles. In my 18x22ft large garden I use a Wellbrookloop on a small rotor at ground level. Turning it around I can effectively kill interference from my neighbors from about 6 S-units down to 0.5-1 S-unit bove band noise level. I had a blast last weekend in the contest doing SO LP.
Oh; the hands-free RX antenna switchbox is a great idea fir the future, TNX! 73 Mark, PA5MW **saving for aTenTec RX366 2nd RX module > The best omnidirectional "RUN" setup for 160M is using a transceiver > with dual high performance receivers in stereo diversity so you can > listen with two antennas simultaneously. > > I've got a home brew Beverage switch box with a foot switch input so I > can listen hands-free in 2+2=4 directions for callers > >> >> What do you use as a "RUN" antenna in the CQ 160 contest? >> >> I tried using my TX TEE but my neighbor now has a plasma TV and all I hear >> is that thing. _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw?
