Bill,
Congratulations on such a great morning!!!
By the way, do I remember that you have one or more EWEs??? Oh, I see
from your signature that my memory is not yet totally shot. How
confident are you of the grounds? I can't really imagine an
excellent ground in the entire state of Arizona (I used to live in
Phoenix:>) You might try an experiment by shifting the EWE to the
Conti Super Loop configuration. It is a very easy and cheap 15
minutes of effort. The shift to Conti configuration will cost you
some gain (cutting it about 40%) but the improvement in Signal/Noise
ratio and back-side nulling may more than make up for it. That was
certainly the case out here on this rocky island.

Listened from 1205-1240 ut and it was all DU here in Arizona. It
was the best morning for DU's since I moved to Arizona 4 years
ago. I got carriers on 558, 567, 576, 585, 594, 648, 657, 693, 738
and 756 some of the carriers were very close to audio. When I got
to 774 I had audio from 3LO and at times it was S-6! At the time
they were doing sports talk and at 1230 I heard a nice ABC News. I
did not tune above 774 so I don't know how many more audio or
carriers I could have heard. It sure was fun to hear 3LO!
