Re: [IRCA] Legalized Bevereges

I live about 20 miles south of downtown Boston but I'm lucky enough to have a fairly decent sized lot (3/4 acre) with about 200 ft or better running NE toward Europe.  When we bought the house last year I tried 3 antennas.  The first was a 100 ft longwire running toward the NE.  A second was another 100 ft longwire running toward the SSE.  Both of these were not terminated.  My third antenna was (and still is) a K9AY loop.  Of all three I got the best results from the K9AY.  Heard things I had only heard when living right on the water several years back.  Late this winter I bought a Wellbook ALA1530 loop.  I mounted it on a rotor about 7 ft off the ground and it blows everything else away.  It's incredibly quiet and hence hears things the other antennas don't.  I use that now as my main antenna and phase it with the K9AY.

This fall I do plan on running a 200ft min BOG NE to the edge of the wetlands and terminate it.  We will see what results it brings.
