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
