To add to Dennis' info: The KSTP antenna was/is a 179.4/179.4 and appears to be considered a Sectional rather than a Franklin by the FCC. Nit-picking' I guess. Happy Holidays! Regards, Mark Durenberger -Original Message- From: Dennis Gibson Sent: Saturday, November 30, 2013

Thanks for posting this Paul. 1300UT on 26 November at this location, conditions were pretty poor for Asiatic signals, but then I wasn't listening from Dallas. On the other hand, a signal from Dallas to Japan passes pretty much overhead at my location. I wonder what antenna was being

Did you mean that KSTP night facilities? I'm just trying to understand because I'm just an amateur. If it is their day facilities is it because that tower is taller than most? Confused, Todd in Woodbury Mn Sony ICF 2010, Toyota car radio On Dec 1, 2013 8:37 AM, Mark Durenberger

Yes indeed. They are 179.4 degrees. Scott Fybush once wrote that it is a Franklin. We got a tour of the KSTP day site during the joint convention and I think he called it a Franklin then. Perhaps there is a difference of opinion. A unique and extremely efficient antenna no matter want you call

180 degree (or vicinity) towers are uncommon; especially on the low end of the band. Many are used by 50 KW stations. The KSTP night signal is directional with a sharp null to the east southeast to protect WFED in Washington DC. For some reason the three night towers are different heights;

Is your antenna located near the ocean, Okamura-san? That was a good signal from KBXD. I DX'ed from Erimo Misaki in Hokkaido at the end of April 2007, with a Wellbrook ALA100 loop antenna. Perhaps that was too late in the DX season, but I did identify KKOL-1300. best wishes, Nick
