Thanks, everyone, for joining our net! If you have a strong signal on 10m
and would be interested in being NetControl in a rotation with us and others,
please contact Fred at [email protected]Sometimes when I participate with the 10 meter net, there are stations I hear for the obvious reasons – those stations are particularly next door to me. However, some are harder to hear or I do not hear at all.
What kind of antenna would it require to hear those stations calling in from out of state or several towns away?
Thanks – Randall – N1KRB, Nashua
Hello Randall,
We only have ground wave propagation on 10m right now. This means that hills and other obstructions can play a factor in which stations you can hear. Getting your antenna higher up would probably help the most. Beyond this, a directional antenna like a yagi can help too if most of the stations that you are trying to hear are in the same general direction.
