Note: A friend is convinced that a low wire just a few ft off the
ground, on land adjacent to a freshwater lake will produce booming
signals for NVIS purposes.
The military radio collector group to which I belong tried something similar i
Tnx for the many replies on NVIS.
My last qth had a 95 ft tall Buckeye tree. On a lark I stealthily shot
a 135' wire over top ( sort of an inverted J) and had a ball on 160m
in the contests .

Then I retired to three acres with one small 15 ft tall tree. (I had

were hearing virtually nothing.
Not every day that happens of course,(the inver

I am sure we never going to learn 160m propagation, but we can learn the basic
