Topband: Under snow 160 meter Bevrage

[k1fz]

Update for the 2 foot high 160 meter Beverage antenna. We have a lot of snow in Northern New England. Another Blizzard was in progress. The close to earth Beverage is under snow. Could not see the reduction in signal strength so must have been small. Snow static from the dry blowing snow was bad on the transmit Verticals, S-9 most of the time. On the 10 foot high Beverage made with insulated wire it was  S-7. The buried  in snow Beverage was quiet except for a loud pop every 4-7 seconds. Was able to copy signals on 160 and 80 meters OK.. Worked VK6LK on 80 long path when others in the storm were just complaining about the noise.
