Subject: Topband: BUG (beverage underground) 

I recently had a 250 foot deep test well drilled near my hamshack and the well 
was powder dry all the way down so rather than waste a perfectly good hole in 
the ground I dropped a wire down it all the way to the bottom and hooked it up 
to my receiver  it was totally quiet of powerline noise while my above ground 
beverage had a 3 Db noise   The BUG did not pick up any radio signals either 
but you cannot have everything

Signals from the zenith are going to be weak, but there should be some.  I'm 
curious how it does as a radiotelescope!
