[Lf] Re: LF: G3AQC copied in Virginia

[Dexter McIntyre w4dex]

Sandy,

That's great!  I was beginning to feel like there was some question
about
the authenticity of my reports.  Your report should remove any doubts. 
To do this with a 50 cm E field probe should encourage many others to
listen.

I was also surprised to find what I thought would be my noisiest antenna
to work the best.  I tried large multiturn tuned balanced loops, a large
shielded unbalanced loop, a tuned  200 foot per side square horizontal
loop and a beverage.  Then I find my 160 meter dipole fed as a T, right
above the house, close to many noise sources, receives 136 KHz the
best!  The only noise source I have noticed is from a light dimmer.  Now
that's noise!

73,
Dexter
