Ditto for me. Below 900 kHz, I've never been anywhere near happy with a 160' DKAZ. That is evident with stand alone DKAZ'es and In direct comparisons with Beverages, there was no contest at all.
I wonder if the PEI group has done a comparison?

They are aimed roughly towards the northeast. Phasing of course allows me to reverse the direction and steer them towards the southwest, which I do for these DU catches. The DKAZ, when switched to the North, shows no trace of these signals during A/B comparisons. When I switch the DKAZ to the South, I may see just the faintest carrier (if anything at all). The situation is usually different at the top of the band. The North DKAZ is generally better than the BOGs when pulling in 4QD on 1548 and the low powered Aussies on the X-band during those rare times that propagation is good here. Point being, it's good to have multiple antenna options! 73, -Tim On Sat, Sep 22, 2018 at 9:20 PM, Nick Hall-Patch <n...@ieee.org> wrote: > I'm sure that you've mentioned this before Tim, but are you using a DKaz > with a northerly bearing for these logs?
