Thanks KAZ.  My antenna setups are "how I hold the radio." hi  I use
only portable radios and 99% of the time indoors.  I have thought of
making a portable EWE antenna out of wires on fiberglass poles amd just
sticking them (and the ground rods) into the earth and could move or
adjust them for whatever direction that I needed.  My .10 acre (or
whatever it is) just isn't big enough for any BOG.  I might be able to
lay out 100' and ground it but then I'd be DX'ing from right at the edge
of the property line. :)

I'm sure that inddor antenna DX'ers will see something like that in the
future.

73 and Thanks for the advice,

Dave

Dave, I don't recall your antenna and rx setup, but if you can put out a
couple different wires outside and phase them, you'd probably be able to
knock down WCKY enough without knocking down stuff in the opposite
direction. 

Hopefully someday there will be a good phasing system for indoor DXers.
.. ie something like a Quantum Loop used as default for a figure 8
pattern, and then with the Q adjusted lower phased against a good whip
for a cardioid pattern.
