I'll need to talk to my neighbours about any
equivalent here, hi. Are these Beverage antenna height, or higher?
Thanks. Nick At 19:38 2019-01-15, STEVE wrote: I have a 700' N/S longwire and a 900' E/W
longwire that are my primary antennas. I get
more local AC noise on the E/W wire and even
though most LWBC is stronger on the E/W, the N/S
wire has less noise and better overall S/N. When
I lived in northeast Oregon I also had longwire
antennas and would get LWBC; being much farther
south here in AZ I never really expected to get
much, and have been very pleased with what's
been heard, especially this season. Several
instances of 252 Algeria at "armchair copy" in
AM sync mode, where normally the NDBs cause
strong hets from the carriers, and the NDB
idents themselves create "interference". (And
I'm primarily an NDB DXer, but do like to hear any LWBC coming my way!)

In Victoria, rarely any LWBC action in
comparison, I think I've only every heard 189
with audio, some years ago.  How large is your longwire Steve?
Last few evenings have seen MW carriers seeming
to be from the UK and Lithuania, a contrast to poor TP conditions.
best wishes,
Nick

LWBC got fairly decent later on this Monday
evening. At around 06 utc: 171 poor (AM sync);
183 poor (AM sync); 189 very poor; 198 poor
(AM sync); 216 very poor; 234 very poor; (243
hints); 252 medium (AM sync). MW only has 1089
with rapidly fading het not lasting long enough for any audio.
