Hey topbanders,
today the condx were really good, but very low activity.
So I made another RX antenna test with John N1PGA.
Few weeks ago I built a 120m long loop on ground.
The direction of receiving is NW/SE bidirectional.
I tested this simple RX antenna also in CQWW 160m contest.
In my short video I switched between 4 different RX antennas:
All antennas have the direction to NA.
2 element end-fire array 180m long (1,50m high)
LOG 120m long
short beverage 120m long (1,50 high)
BOG 68m long (10cm high)
Here you can listen for the result.
