But so far I always called him in vain. Most of the time he has a fair amount of QSB on his signal (compared to others at the same distance). I wouldn't be surprised if he was running a long wire antenna, I getting the impression that stations with relatively long wire antennas have more QSB than those with small toploads or pure verticals. Could it be that long wires radiate at steeper angles and thus produce more skywave ? 73, Rik ON7YD At 10:41 5/03/01 +0100, you wrote: >To All from PA0SE > >I worked OK1BTN on 25 February; sent 569, received 229.
