2208 Eagles playing, some fading, good signal. This is interesting.
2210 "FM"
2214 OM talking, fading tough copy. Bits of Led Zeppelin. S7 peaks but deep fade.
2219 "Dancing Days" playing, signal down, a lot more fade. A little hard to listen to now.
2222 OM with "FM"? then OFF, thanks for the FM.

Equipment / Longwire antenna
« on: January 11, 2017, 1825 UTC »
I want to extend my 100' longwire to 200' to help on LW.
With the limited space on my property I will have to go
out 100' then a sharp 90 degree angle out another 100'.
Will the sharp angle be a problem or should I keep it at 100'?
Reading up on this a lot of people insist a longwire MUST be straight,
even for receive only.
I think it won't matter much and will improve my LW reception.
Anyone have a longwire set up like this?
Thanks
