Actually Mal some of the rx dx records both on LF and MF have been with pse=
udo high Z Joysticks a la Wet Match Sticks.  I see recall the Joysticks PW =
adverts for them for HF!
My best performers here are   W1VD AMRAD/L400b/PA0RDT nest of Eprobes up va=
rious trees both of MF/LF but as ever very much location and noise source d=
ependent=2C which together with having the real estate available... not so =
much here.... I cant go up above tree height cos I would hit landing aircra=
ft=2C or more likely they will hit me...
My near quarter wave for 475 inverted L typically (typically cos it varies =
on wave angle and noise source type/bearing at the time) doesnt afford bett=
er s/n over a well placed wet match stick most of the time=2C nor is the 10=
ft 30T passive loop nor 10ft diam active loop better - hey my ground resist=
ivity/perm is dang poor here sitting on glacial till..
Looking forward to the day on seeing you coming in over the Pole Mal.  Youv=
e not managed to hit here in LF/ 475 MF yet but know you had a good signal =
here on 160=3B  Its not been favorable so far this winter...
Best 73 for the seasonLaurence KL7L
