Indeed it does Gary. Just out picking up some limbs shook loose by a ‘big wind’ we had here a few weeks back and found one part of my 4-element Wellbrook phased delta loop on the ground — chewed off by my neighbors wagging maple tree limbs. Fixed it and gave a listen to see how it was working to find even more local noise than when I last used it over a month ago. I long for another trip to Grayland, Lubec or even the eastern shore of Maryland where we can at least find much reduced levels of QRN and a shot at some DX across a pond.
