[Lowfer] 1704 on the money and QRSSing

Mon, 3 Nov 2003 10:51:31 -0500

Bill,

Man... now you got me all bummed out...   I may just take a bunch of #12 and
make a  Fat dipole out of it.
Build a cage out of a bunch of vertical strands tied together at the top and
bottom.  Stick a little top hat up there.

Then go to home depot and spend my lifesavings on chicken wire.

I put my LF current probe100turns/100 ohm on the loop to try and measure
voltage, for relative purposes.
There is about .2 to .3 volts  volts on the antenna  even without a coax
attached to it.

It must be from the local 610 Khz  station.

1704 will be up for a few days anyway to see what happens
