Subject: [IRCA] DXing the West from a HOA Neighborhood
My primary interest in AM DXing is the reception of domestic stations from
the Western states. Unfortunately, I live on a small lot in a
deed-restricted neighborhood. Our HOA does not allow for the installation of
outdoor antennas, but Iâve managed to âhideâ a few behind our eight foot
tall privacy fence.
Our house sits at the end of the street, with a wetlands area directly next
to our lot. It is federally protected, and cannot be developed. This expanse
runs for about 1,200 feet and is about 200 feet wide. Unfortunately, it runs
almost due N/S.
Iâve thought hiding a BOG antenna in that area, which would help with
domestic loggings from those directions, but do nothing to feed my primary
interest.
Iâm well equipped to try a number of options, including two Wellbook ALA
1530âs, a Wellbrook Flag antenna (not currently installed), and a Clifton
Labs Active Whip (not currently installed).
EMI noise is a major factor, but careful antenna siting minimizes it.
Any suggestions about the best configuration of the gear to maximize my
reception to the West?
