[DX] correction to "Pre-version of hopefully coming article"

Morning guys!

Just talked with SW and I have the following correction to my writings:

It was was not the attenuation of signals from back that SW measured, but it was

the antenna FORWARD GAIN. The auxiliary antenna was in front of the antenna used for reception. For each new rod he put into ground he got 1 dB gain and SNR in reception and this continued up to 6 rods- So he got a total gain of 5 dB and that is pretty much- almost doubled gain and that is of course by getting better directivity. That is pretty cool actually. More than 6 rods didn´t increase the gain any more. SW has not tested the from back attenuation. Attenuation of signals from back I will test this fall in Siuntion as I have great possibilities for that. That is very interesting. I have only sand there but I will see if I can get NA-bentonite to get a better ground for the resistor termination. I will report what I´ll find out in due time.

So stay tuned......

Subject: Pre-version of hopefully coming article

Howdy.

I have for some time been putting together my thoughts about important technical stuff in DX-ing and here is the preliminary version of my attempt.

If you have comments-whatever, completely disagree with me or want more detailed info about something- don´t hesitate to contact.

The grounding formula is very interesting and I´m glad I bounched into it.

When this article is finalized I thought I would put it into Radiomaailma.

This is written in EE because I want our Scandinavian friends to be able to read it. And frankly- I prefare to write stuff like this in EE.

There is much elementary and not much figures. I don´t fancy figures- except when there's women involved. It´s not my strongest area so I try to stay away from writing stuped things.

But if you have the time- read it and throw a comment if you feel for it...
