Nick, Colin,
Thanks for sending the PPT from the 2016 IRCA Convention. There's a lot of good
information in that presentation. In response to Colin's comments: I understand
your comments coming from a TP signal rich environment (except when I'm in town
:-). Here in the TP hinterlands even decent signals from the big Japanese guns
are not a given, let alone more unusual forms of TP DX. I am endeavoring to try
a DKAZ in an effort to maximize the TP DX I can hear from a standard city lot.
Pity I did not know about DKAZ antennas when I lived up in the mountains with
more real estate to work with. I would have put one up forthwith. The BOG and
EWE antennas I used at that location did work fairly well though. I appreciate
the antenna discussion. I always have more to learn. There's also something
about putting up a new antenna that stimulates anticipation of new DXing
opportunities.
73 and Best of DX,

I tried to open the file with PowerPoint 2017 but got a string of error

Any chance of a 1 paragraph summary? (Sorry to sound like management)

Antenna Alternatives -- really? Is a non-resonant terminated loop an
alternative to a DKaz? All non-resonant terminated loops give much the same
depth of nulls to stations off the back end of the antenna.
starting at slide 34, for a comparison of the
DKaz with a Flag at Grayland. (presentation from the 2016 IRCA convention)
Unless you have Quicktime on the computer you're
using, you may not be able to play slide 37, but
it's not radically important to the overall comparison.
best wishes,
Nick

trying to think outside of the box and see if I
might be able to cram a 100 to 112 ft. DKAZ into
the southern boundary of my city residential lot.
Any longer and it would have to be anchored in
the street. I doubt the city would appreciate that approach.
