I've noticed that the bulk of the posts deal with reception reports and propagation. Is it permissable to ask a few technical questions about antennas, rigs, etc.? < Over a period of time, there is an amazing range of topics on this list. Questions about antennas, rigs, etc., are right down the middle, and nowhere near the fringe! Ask away. LF guys suffer from "seasonitis," a cranial condition that makes you believe that LF work can only be done in the winter. The signal reports you've seen lately are a reminder that the disease can be cured. John Andrews, W1TAG/WD2XES
