I picked up an NCC1 and I am trying to determine just how much I should invest in the receiving antennas for my home (urban) QTH.
I am in a typical neighbourhood with a treed greenspace at the back of the house and about 300M from the house beyond the green space is the 500KV lines from one of Ontario's Nuclear power stations. Do I just go with a smaller dipole out in the green space up in the trees (or vertical). Or, do I invest in either a pair of Z1501 active antennas from Clifton Labs or the similar verticals from DX Engineering? My HF antenna is a Windom at 50ft running through the trees. If you have an NCC1, what has your experience been like? Many 73 Mike va3mw _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
