Another economical and light weight method of pushing wire through brush
would be to use a 10' piece of 1/2" PVC or plastic electrical conduit. In
the case of the electrical conduit it can be extended by adding multiple
pieces together for greater length. It's lite weight and flexible enough to

Yes, 8 QSLs out of 10 QSOs including 160. Put me over the top for 160

There isn 't enough detail in the description to understand the model and
the plots fully.
A 560 foot long "beverage" on 175 kHz has about 15 dB null off the sides at
5 degrees wave angle, and a few dB F/B at low angles.
Please elaborate! The LF stations you are likely to receive would all be
from Europe or Mediteranean countries in N. Africa. From your location,
I wonder how you would get enough directivity to separate them.

Good morning to everyone
A technique I've seen used to go under a road or surface obstruction is to
dig work-pit holes on opposite sides and use a hydraulic-jack laying on its
side with its base pressing against a steel-plate or block of wood
positioned against the back-side of the access pit.

I don't know what "books, etc" that comes from, but even over fairly good
soil a 600-foot "Beverage" models to have about 18 dB side null and a few dB
F/B at 175 kHz.

You have to be careful doing that. Some types of carbide will instantly
crack from the thermal shock of cooling too fast. It's b

Be real careful when drilling at those seam points tho as the bit can get stuck
when hitting the harder area around the joint and if your holding on with both
hands it will twist your arms around real good.

You might look at your local soil surveys for better information, or contact
your local NRCS office.
