I have been following the thread with interest. I have a K9AY and a DO loop located within 60 to 75 ft of the TX vertical at our summer home. Interestingly, I find both these antennas very quiet with no sign of noise being coupled to them via the TX antenna. I work a lot of DX from this location on topband using these loops as well as a pair of Beverages, both of which also pass fairly close to my TX vertical and both of which are very quiet.
So, why am I not hearing this noise many are experiencing? The TX vertical is a 60 ft toploaded affair and I do not de-tune it on receive. All I have done is to run all the feedlines for both RX antennas and the TX vertical underground in different conduits to a remote switching location. Someone please tell me why I am missing out on all the fun of having noise on my RX antennas. Bill, VE3CSK ----- No virus found in this message.
