Hi Mal,
Simple CW signal on 137 you say… <big grin>
Here it is not
so simple. When I use the ‘random length of wire over a tree’ – i.e. my HF
end-fed 30 meter long antenna -the S/N is at least 20 dB worse than with my
current miniwhip setup.
That’s what causes the problems and technical
difficulties here. So for all its (real and alleged) shortcomings, the miniwhip
does serve its purpose.

Ref recent emails about probe antennas. How can receiving
a simple cw signal on 137 create such problems and technical
difficulties.
Try throwing a random length of wire over a tree
instead.
