I've been working on a new RX only antenna called a "Beverage" antenna. My first one is about 800 ft long and ranges in height from 10ft to 15ft (which I think is high). I put mine up higher than normal because I drive my tractor through some of the areas it runs through. I wanted to make sure it would clear ok.
I will post the actual details on how I built it later this week. But for now I'll share this video...
This is 80m, 160m was a real eye opener for me. I was decoding A45XR at -7 LOL. I've maybe heard 6 dx stations outside North America on 160m in my life. I just never had a decent RX antenna for the band.
Now I really have to get working on TX antennas for 160-40m. Now that I can actually hear what I've been missing.
