[OKDXA] HB0

[Kim Elmore]

Well, the K9AY loops do seem to help. I just worked the HB0/HA0HW on 
80 m and I could hear him on the loops, but copy was not useable on 
the vertical (a Sigma 80).

The ability to switch the null is often only marginally helpful: 
since it's the null that I steer, I can't get rid of the East Coast 
stations without getting rid of the DX. But, I can affect other 
stations in the SE, NW, and SW.

Again, it's not like the HB0 jumped from 219 t0 599, but it did go 
from about 219 to about 339 or so and that made all the difference.

I've also been able to hear a lot of stuff on 160: an I4 and an S5 
were all workable on the loops. I played with the loops on the BC 
band, and I could almost completely null out 1170 in Tulsa and hear a 
Mexican/Spanish language station beneath it.

Once I get a tx antenna on 160, I'll be set.

73,
