Topband: Beverage Antenna

[Buck wh7dx]

Tonight right after sunset I heard AA0RS in Colorado for sure.  He popped up on the cluster right then.   (I need to learn CW).

He was 5-5 on LSB but only 5-1 on CW.   I was surprised I couldn't hear him that strong on CW because he was loud and clear on LSB.  That's pretty unusual?

I believe I also had N2RK in NY before.. not positive.

I could just faintly hear the DK station.  If I didn't see the cluster I wouldn't have known.

My grey line is Africa/Russia.

Does it seem like my low altitude dipole is working ok.   Colorado is 3300 miles to the NE and my dipole is NE / SW with another 450ft of hill right behind me over the NE.

I read that the dipole also radiates right off the ends outward.
