Hi all; I certainly hope that I'm steeping on toes with this question.
Living on a city lot is the pits, but when that's all you have to work
with you do the best you can. I know that Brad out in California does
it on his city lot but I don't know his address or if he has e-mail
capabilities so that ZI can ask him. If anyone has any ideas or any
suggestions for accomplishing this sort of feat on 160 meters please
reply direct to my personal email address. I'm contemplating a new
amplifier which will be sort of graduation present to myself when I
finish school, but I can't see the point of a good amplifier if I
can't hear what I'm after. My lot size here in IOWA is as follows:
126 feet long on the Northwest side of the property which is where
the vertical is located. The beverage type wire would be within
10 feet of the vertical TX antenna. On the NW side of the property
about 40-45 feet away is where I am currently using a 60 foot center
loaded Micro-SWA. I need or desire to hear better than I currently am
Any and all Legitimate suggestions and comments are welcome at this
time as I plan to hopefully improve the setup during this summer and
when I finish school here in 6 days. Again reply directly to my email
address. de K0CKDennis
