Couldn't imagine how strong your signal would have been if you would
have used a big loop in those tall pines. Oh well so many what if's...

L/T array at 50miles in all directions. Could be the thick forest,
could be the ground, could be the...it was also down on DX receive too
towards Eu when looking at DCF39.
I could start rumbling on about loops but heck I should have used one
up there...

Subject: LF: low long wire as TX-antenna???

I wonder if anyone here has experience in using a low long wire as TX
antenna on 136kHz.
I'm thinking of around 400-500m long wire at 1m above ground.
I still have a lot of 'portable'beverage stuff lying around from my
previous activeties:
mediumwave and NDB-beacon DX.
Maybe it's worthwile to try.........
