[Lowfer] W5JGV E-Probe antenna

[Paul Daulton]

Ralph I agree with Charlie the active antenna/preamp looks like a good 
project. Probably be my next one.

Having a grabber close by gives an opportunity to study propagation. I note 
I am in your grabber daytime, most days, at 225 miles but Charlie is not. 
Nighttime I fade and Charlie comes in at 390 miles or so. I am guessing this 
is the c;hange from ground wave to skywave propagation.

I have the pa0rdt mini whip up but the performance is equivalent to my 
75meter dipole. Some days one is better that the other but generally the 
same. I have had two identical rec and computers running side by side for 
comparison. The performance of your whip impresses me. I have a two acre lot 
next to mine that is vacant, I may check with the owner and see if I could 
remote a whip there.

Thanks for the grabber.
