Hi Mal,

Simple CW signal on 137 you say=E2=80=A6 <big grin>
Here it is not so simple. When I use the =E2=80=98random length of wire =
over a tree=E2=80=99 =E2=80=93 i.e. my HF end-fed 30 meter long antenna =
-the S/N is at least 20 dB worse than with my current miniwhip setup.=20
That=E2=80=99s what causes the problems and technical difficulties here. =
So for all its (real and alleged) shortcomings, the miniwhip does serve =
its purpose.

Ref recent emails about probe antennas. How can receiving a simple cw =
signal on 137 create such problems and technical difficulties.
Try throwing a random length of wire over a tree instead.
