I haven't been around lately - been moving west with wife. I have two
new antennas. A pa0rdt and an Amrad. I don't think that they are
available commercial but they are both a fairly easy to homebrew.
Both good from a few kHz to 30MHz. I will mount them both tomorrow and
get back to group after some op time. I am living in Rochester NY now
with a few big MW stations in the area so that I need antennas with
low IM products. Both are supposed to work fb in the city.

I landed a dream job at Harris RF here in town so moved into new QTH
and getting antennas & radios set up for winter. I also have a Hustler
5btv and my very big AM loop. Thinking of putting up a B&W T2FD for
sending 160m on up.

Congratulations on the new job. I'll bet it's interesting.

I'm curious to hear how you like the pa0rdt mini whip. I have one here
in Brooklyn and find it pretty unremarkable. My LF-Engineering H-800
Skymatch usually beats it and my Wellbrook loop absolutely trounces
it. I currently use both the pa0rdt and the H-800 as noise antennas
along with a Timewave ANC-4. The pa0rdt does make an excellent noise
antenna because it excels at hearing locally generated rfi!
