Work to get the best resonance about 50.150...should be good enuf.... Height for Eship and scatter works best from about 35 to 60 ft....with the "sweet" spot for most seems to be 45-60ft. The op's running at 60-80ft do better for Ground wave(300-400m range) than I. I'm at about 45ft. I can at times out "Hear" many in the 600-800m range. After that it's a crap shot...sometimes I am better, other times others are. That's why they call it "The Magic Band." I have worked attic dipole antennas/Hamstick verticals mobiles, Moxons @ 20ft...even an op in Calgary with a Tarhel bolted to balcony railing 10 stories up in his apartment building. I think, presently I have 46 countries, and somewhere around 140+ Grids Confirmed...more worked but about right on confirmed.
Looking good...Hear you soon.

[QUOTE="BJ radionut, post: 816022, member: 7026"] Work to get the best resonance about 50.150...should be good enuf.... Height for Eship and scatter works best from about 35 to 60 ft....with the "sweet" spot for most seems to be 45-60ft. The op's running at 60-80ft do better for Ground wave(300-400m range) than I. I'm at about 45ft. I can at times out "Hear" many in the 600-800m range. After that it's a crap shot...sometimes I am better, other times others are. That's why they call it "The Magic Band."
