[Lowfer] TAG in NE IL - WOLFIE Filter

[Andy - KU4XR]

Garry;  - out of curiousity, have you tried using the built in 
Experimental WOLF filter ?? It has helped me. Plus since John is
locked on freq. I also have used software DSP filtering down to
10hZ with results.

I am inclined to agree with John however on the E/W ; N/S , and 
the very high summer static levels. You've probably got an 
advantage on me with your loop vs. my Crossed 80 meter dipole and
160 Windom.

I have thought about a long wire ant. meandering thru the woods,
at about 7 foot above ground, mounted on trees using electric fence insulators. Has anyone tried that for a low noise ant ?? if so; 
what was your experience ??
