Common Mode chokes built-in on every orifice on the radio would work all so.
Maybe tomorrow I will visit that site.
Still 3 weeks and just hearing South America and a little of Europe with that
big of improvement eliminates the short and long path theory. No really good
band openings. Then along with the band conditions the way they were and the
way they are I think thats a very very remote chance.
Strange couple between the two antennas? I moved the ends up and down spread
one end from parallel to 30 degrees and no change. Not enough to disprove
that theory? Maybe?
Doc, your capacitor at the feed point with low antennas did not work that well.
400 KC band width? We tried 75 ohm cable, we tried some high voltage 75 ohm
stuff that I never seen before that was used for a W2DU balun that had those
small beads on it. We got a hold of some of that cable. We also just tried a
cap across the feed point. Thought we had all the right measurements. If what
you say is true, we missed a trick along the way some where. We had a loop of
wire about 6 inches, I think we had a 1000pf at 1KV cap. Or was it a TV HV cap
off the fly-back? May be not enough? One of the guys tested the combo at
work. Been too many years to remember it.
