Final Signal Reports of my antennas all alone on the same mount.

Here are my final Signal Reports #33 & #34 on my Marconi 7x and my Wolf .64 tested alone with no other antenna mounted. I did the Wolf .64 report at different times using different radios to check the difference that might make. This is all I'm doing in this series.

I will be taking both down in the next couple of days and re-installing my Sirio Gain Master on my new mount as high as I can get it, which I hope will be almost 67' to the tip. That is about 10' feet higher that I raised it in previous tests and comparisons. Earlier I could see noticeable improvement while raising the GM just 5' feet more, so with this 10' increase, I expect it to make the strongest signals to date, but that will be on the air testing only, no more reports in this series.

If I can get one of Terry Davis's, 55 model top hat mobile antennas for a review, then I'll test it out on top of my Marconi 7x after I remove the three horizontal GP radials and compare it to the previous test #33 above and use which ever ground plane configuration proves to perform the better. This will be in response to the thread on Top Hats.

I have videos on my YouTube channel if you would like to check this out. Plus the comparisons testing I did over two days on reports #35 & #36 below, where I raised my Marconi up another 10' feet to 52' feet to the tip and checked it out against my Wolf .64 @ 57' feet to the tip. I did receive some feedback comments that indicated the Wolf was showing a better signal from my station at the other end, by 1/2 to 1 Sunit. These verbal reports were from some local contacts that are listed on my Signal Report. I also has several DX contacts, with Robb and 007 that I think showed a mix with the best signal. But with that said...on my end the Marconi 7x, at 52', showed the best signals in those two comparison reports all the way on average and I still cannot explain why that is.

Again, I expect the GM will beat even the Marconi 7x if I can safely get it up to 67' to the tip.
