I agree with Rick, all of the CATV RG-6 I've tested is much more
than 75 ohms, in one case it was 95 ohms! Depending on length,
this can cause significant unwanted impedance transformation.

Listened when first spotted but no joy on 160. Moved to 80 and worked George
there with pretty good signal through the QRN.
Saw he was spotted shortly after that on 160 so went and listened. Switching
through receive antenna options found, by a long shot, best copy on YCCC 9
antenna array.

Thinking ahead to next winter on 160, I'm interested in replacing my
K9AY Loop with a 2-vertical phased array. I'd like to homebrew the
antennas and just buy or build the remote control unit for the shack.
I'm looking for sources of components
