Yeah, I love to mess around with wire antennas. I really have no
room
at all for it because I live in an apartment. However, I'm blessed
because the management company that oversees my building doesn't
seem
to care what I do or what I put on the roof. So, I've been going up
on
the roof periodically to experiment with long runs of wire.
Eventually,
I'm going to get at least one 200 ft random wire antenna up there.
The
key will be to get it 15 ft or so above the roof, so that it's clear
of
the building's noise envelope. There's some exposed structural steel
up
there that should make an excellent ground.

I have a Wellbrook 330S loop and I'm very happy with it, but I can't
lose itch to mess around with wire once in a while.

How decent is the 330S for BCB listening? Passport says
that it's better than it used to be down there, but the
Wellbrook website doesn't claim the entire BCB band
for the 330S. I'm rather curious, since I'll eventually
have to give up my 50' wire to plant a tree in the backyard,
and one option is going with an active loop for the
space.
