Hi all and Happy Holidays -
I have been listening to the 80m nets in the morning working the DX - time
after time I can only just hear the DX but the stations working the DX give
s9+ reports-
I am receiving on a DX-Engineering 4 square - also have 4 reversable 250m
beverages.
This is not a one off - it happens everyday - my noise level is s1
(1) how much gain will a full size 4 square have over my DX Engineering 4
square (Tom if you read this help!!!!)
(2) The receive 4 square is better on 80 than my beverages - on 160 mostly the
same but sometimes the 4 SQ wins and sometimes the beverage is better.
Could be the location - but dont think so - my transmit signal always receives
excellent reports in keeping with other stations in the UK - Titanex with 75
150/200 foot radials
The receive antennas are in a separate field approx 3 wavelengths from the
Titanex.
Its just puzzling me and I really am looking for a direction to improve the
receive - any ideas - or any other experiences similar to mine?
