I've had a really hard time with CA here in Alexandria, VA too -- some peeps out of KFI in a pile of 'stuff' on 640 and not much else UNTIL ... I started working with a phased BOG system, as designed by Neil Kazaross.
Most weekend nights now I drive our van over to a field behind the local rec center - Chinquapin - near T.C. Williams HS, park in my favorite spot and run a pair of wires out on the ground at around 230 deg az -- 500 // 380 feet. Hook 'em up to a quantum phasor, null WBZ, set up Perseus for TOH recording and ... <http://realmonitor.com/chinquapin/110416/KNZR.wav> Granted, this was only one night out of about a dozen but I also get much better reception of Mexican stations using this BOG system than 'at home' about a half-mile away using a 4-element Wellbrook array. <http://realmonitor.com/am_logs_chinquapin.php> I've met some real interesting people DXing this way too! ;-) --- On May 16, 2011, at 8:45 PM, GEORGE SANTULLI wrote: > > I agree, I have heard KNBR here in Northern VA twice in the last few > years...My dream is CBC Vancouver 690.
