Interesting look at High-Gain and Extremely Long Wire Antennas (conceptual – I haven’t tried these!). Apparently Dipoles and End Fed Antennas do this! Have you tried one? Do you have the space? Give it a go. Of course Beverage Antennas have similar characteristics (but work totally differently) which is why there are fab at RX.

73 Callum.
I stream most Friday mornings from my main shack. Today I am using the 12.4m Signature DX Commander antenna for transmit and a variety of additional receive antennas. Logging is N1MM+ and we’ll be using the club callsign M0XXT – see QRZ for details. Callum.
In 2013, the idea came to me. But let’s talk about the discovery of the fan vertical, harmonics, 5/8th, Radials – and more! But Invented? I don’t know about that! Enjoy. 73. Callum.
We compare the Stellar x2 vs RE27 vs RE20 from Electrovoice. I was amazed with this Microphone and as soon as the new Mixer arrives, we’ll put this one down the new factory studio! I LOVE it. Callum.
Antenna Comparison experiments can be pretty difficult to achieve accurately – I’ll show you why..

Is there anyone there? Have conditions improved? Let’s find out. Join in, chat, call me. I just want some fun today 🙂 Callum. PS – Using callsign M0XXT – see QRZ for details.
I have installed two major ham shack builds over the years. One was a DISASTER! This is what I learned when designing my new ham radio shack.
