[HCDX] Transatlantic MW log, 26 Sept 2004

[Hermod Pedersen <hermod.pedersen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The early morning hour on 26 September 2004 gave a nice Transatlantic 
opening on medium wave. So the listening proved more satisfying than an 
actual antenna test to test some remote controlled Beverage antennas. The 
new homemade box controlling all the switching proved to be a minor noice 
source [darn], while the local power line proved to be a major noice source 
(it does so occasionally and randomly, something to live with). The logs 
below was thus made with my good, old EWE antennas. A lot shorter than the 
Beverages, but very often as good performers. And they do not pick up the 
power line noice at any annoying levels. I like my EWE's more and more.
