Talked with my friend out in Tennessee on 75 meters tonight and his copy seemed to be a bit better in signal strength. It seems the 15 feet more of altitude in that portion of the antenna is capturing more signal.
When I transmitted to him he gave a bit better signal report as I was running 80 watts. Some 20 over on the signal.
Usually I am running about 9 to 10 on the S meter.
We shall see the next time I run this rig on the antenna. Rig is a ICOM 706 Mk II with a desk microphone....to an antenna tuner to the ladder line and then the loop antenna.
Thanks,
