I have been QRT for the past few days while I overhauled my RX antennas. I
now have a 500' BOG (Beverage on the ground), a triangular terminated loop
and a 30' whip with an amplifier.
Larry (WH2XGP) was kind enough to raise his wspr transmission rate to 50%
which really helps in making comparisons. On Larry's signal during
daylight, the BOG yields S/N of 6-8 dB better than the whip and 3-4 dB
better than the terminated loop. I hope I'm making some progress on my
local noise problem!
I will be listening tonight and try to stay up to midnight so I can switch
between antennas. Hope some of you guys will be on.
73, Rudy
