Hello Topbanders!
I have heard many good comments about a "low dipole" for RX on 160! I
tried one last season and it was awful! More noise than my inverted
L.... I must admit that I had the shield side of the antenna folded
back under the antenna and had it grounded thru a ground rod about 12
feet from the feedpoint, ala what some guys were talking about on 1850
one night. Maybe I didn't do the "low dpole" justice? Thoughts,
comments and specific configurations are desired. (off line is best, I
would expect?) BTW, the three 10X50X10 EWE's worked very well,
especially the African one.
Very quiet!
Thanks and 73
Glenn, K3SWZ
