Re: [IRCA] MW CX
Thanks to all who responded to last night's CX inquiry. And thank you for
the lightning site.
A 1400-foot BOG went out yesterday; test-comparison D-Kaz antennas go up
today.
Remember the oft-quoted bit about how "the perfect Beverage site would be in
the desert...with a swamp on one end of the wire?" Well, we stumbled upon
a very rare depressed rainwater-channel with honest-to-goodness green grass
over moist soil, and made that the receive site.
At the front-end of the BOG we got 8 feet of copper into the ground,
surrounded by a good deal of Epsom-salt solution. We were then able to
"tune" a 15 db front/back on 580 (off the rear of the wire). That's an
unusual experience for us out here in this normally-arid country where any
sort of effective ground is hard to find.
Now to hope for quieter CX for the BOG...while we set up the D-Kaz to blow
that all away "good ground" stuff :-))
Cheers!

Mark,
What desert, Utah? There are storms over Kansas, parts of Oklahoma,
Nebraska. It`s certainly noisy here in Enid. Also somewhat auroral with XE
instead of WGN, etc. Very auroral/disturbed on SW.

Is it just our luck out in the
desert...or is the nighttime MW band still
pretty noisy?
Cheers!
