Re: [IRCA] [ABDX] Re: DXing the West from a HOA Neighborhood

[Les Rayburn <les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Kaz,

Your estimate is spot on. It would be about 55 feet between two antennas arrayed E-W. At my previous house, I used to phase a Wellbrook loop, and an active whip, separated by about 130 feet. That combination worked really well. I tired it again here, but without much success. Nulls were poor. 

Plus phasing is not a good match for SDR techniques. With less than 600 stations in the log at this point, SDR recording offers a much higher return on investment for me. 

Appreciate the advice, Iâm wide open to your suggestions.
