Hello Ashraf,

I am afraid that NA activity has gone down to almost no activity at all! It is also true that signals have been weak when there at all. Don't touch your beverage. It is working fine!  Raising wire from 1 to 2 meters will not change much.  All my beverages are at 2 meters.

Hi All,

I set up a 260m long beverage beaming NA back in March. The height from
ground was 1m. It performed well (RBN spots of US stations). I dismantled
it then re-installed it two weeks ago at 2m high. But I almost can't have
any US station reported. Is it a matter of poor propagation these days?
(Sorry, I can't monitor the band for entire nights). Does this have to do
with my beverage height?

When I filter NA/EU RBN sport, I don't find many spots.
