Bjorn, Tim:
Thanks for your comments.
I don't have much time to play with the antennas until the weekend, but I
did manage to hook up an SWR Analyzer. The analyzer says 1.5:1 at 1820 Kc
(35 ohms R). So, there is an antenna out there.
A need to clarify that the noise level is the same between

Hi folks
I would like to add some comments to receiving antennas issue. Any resonant
thing (wire, cable, rotor cable tower, TX antenna...) will interact with the RX
antenna if they are in the same polarity, different polarity has 27 dB or more
of isolation due the polarization itself.

I would like to concur with SM0MDG's comments about receive coax
connections. I betcha the OP's system is leaking in at levels way higher
than the Ewe actually produces. I know everyone loves to detune their
transmit antenna, but there's no way an Ewe should sound noisier than the
inverted L.

Last night was frustrating. I know a lot of you were calling, but I was
only able to pull out 7 stations, all W5 and W7. The noise level here was
a constant S9. If you translate the seasons into the northern hemisphere,
it is now May 10- and, as an operator there, you know what that means
Hi Dennis,
In Europe you can go as low as 1.810 MHz for TX.
