Well, nothing much happening on HF tonight, so I dusted off the old LF Engineering LF Active Antenna hook-up. The ol antenna itself has been nobly languishing unused at the top of our treehouse for years, but lo and behold, once fired up the ol boy still worked like a charm and with conditions apparently being favorable for good Dx, I was soon pummeled with more signals than I coud shake a stick at, good for a few hrs fun. Maybe some Longwaver out there can explain why the Canadian beacons come in so much better than their American cousins, made for some good Dx. I'll have to try DGPS before I disconnect the old antenna again. Seems like a lot of these great beacons are getting decomissioned, enjoy em while you can!
