Pulled down all the other wire antennas, no more ground radials or top load wires needed, plus is more quiet on RX. Gets out well on 600M too. 160M, 80M, 30M, it doesn't care where it tunes... Mostly no de-tuning with snow and wet... ( maybe 2 kc. ) TNX de Dave @ WD2XSH/17 ref: www.radiocom.net/600M/LOOP1107.jpg ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul-Henrik" To: Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2009 7:12 AM Subject: Re: LF: 137 NIL Hello Mal, LF In my case it is still snowing here, no way to keep the antenna tuned atm. Short high impedance antennas are tricky to keep happy. Just like me they prefer dry weather and clear skies :) 73's Paul-Henrik Quoting mal hamilton : > This band seems to have gone vy quiet again after a burst of recent acty. > Not > even a grabber active. > > de mal/g3kev
