Mike,
Couple e-mails ago, you referred to the TIS-1610 that used to be at the
junction of US-70 and US-17 in New Bern, NC.
You mentioned the callsign for that one, but I can't find it.
Please resend.
I completely revamped my 105/285º 65-foot Marconi into a 85-foot (total)
EWE antenna. I've been experimenting
with terminations.
This thing is hot! And the directivity changes with a ground on the far
end, no termination, 470-ohm termination,
and a 200-pF termination. I'm going to try an inductive termination tomorrow.
I heard the Rocky Mount 1610 TIS on it, whereas only the most weak carrier
was audible on it before. Now I
observe at least 3 carriers.
I put up a 45/225º 65-foot Marconi couple weeks ago, and then extended it
200 feet into the woods.
I listened on 1610 with the 265-footer, and also heard the Rocky Mount TIS,
but it was over-ridden by a dead
carrier and another carrier in there.
I wonder if the New Bern 1610 TIS is on with dead carrier. The 265-footer
(unterminated) favors the northeast
and southwest.
