Last night I found out that my roof mounted vertical does a good job
for 99% of the signals I want, but the moon's elevation was maybe too high. Tonight I intend to use several antennas. My wife and some friends erected some test antennas. WL1030 15' high on a fiber glass ladder located in an adjacent vacant lot. 40M dipole, more like an inverted V, with the main lobe aimed where the moon will be. An older version of one of Dallas Lankford's active dipoles in the horizontal plane. And I will still have my Dallas's micro active antenna mounted on the roof ridgeline. It will be interesting to see which, if any, antenna wins! It was very odd to hear the 2 second CW tone followed ~2 seconds later by a much weaker tone that was the signal from the moon. I never thought I would be listening to moon bounce on ~7MHz! Tonight I intend to record it all on my Zen V Plus with WWV on the right channel and HARP on the left. I will try all of the receivers here to see if any has any particular advantage. Terry |
