Hi Alan !
I observe DCF 39 very regularly,as it is menacing my receiving all the time.
I found that there is a certain difference in its fields -vertical/horizontal
power containment.When i put up my new and higher antenna i did lessen the
amount of horizontal wire by lenght - though i have more shorter horizontal
wires higher now.That means i have less horizontal pick-up.And the first thing i
found is that DCF 39 was about 5 db down on the new antenna.The rest of the
equipment untouched.It is not due to less efficiency of the new antenna as
everybody told the signal being better now.What i want to say is,that somebody
could be misleaded in his efforts by doing comparisons before and after
alterations,especially if the change involved a major shift from horizontal
elements to vertical elements of the radiator total length.These are just my
findings and thats why i fully agree with You about the meaningless of the
measurements that should be taken,but who knows what further insight that may
bring.Good Dx to everyone ! de wolf -df2py-
