[Lowfer] 600M Rx-ing II

[Mike WE0H]

Peter,

Build this antenna this weekend. It works excellent. I have 2 of them 
with one being fixed tuned to 507kc and the other is a table top version 
with a variable cap.

It will run circles around the dipole for receiving signals on 600 
meters or any band you resonate it for. The usable bandwidth with fixed 
tuning is 100kc.

But, not being on 40M for a few years, was surprised a the dearth 40 cw after frist hoisting the new dipole. Had I wrongly measured a 40M dipole -- as if that should matter to this degree :-) No, just the spin of the bottle as it was, band dead at about the 3pm launching time. Still, later the cw signals started, not that many, but some activity. Ha, nothing local, usual 200-400 mile stuff. Take note: lot's of emptiness in the cw partition. New easy licensing taking a toll?
