Gary, The Hi-Z's are said to be great receive ants. Let us know how yours performs. I cant offer anything on the preamp enclosure but I can offer some info on the paint. I used Krylons Camo spray pai
I am thinking of trying a rotatable flag for 160. I have a small lot and the farthest distance I can install the flag from my tower is 35 feet. Since it will be rotatable I assume I can aim the null

Chet, That sounds interesting. I may try it myself. In my situation, I live on a corner and could only run the bog out in the west direction which might be good for europe which is NW of me. It depen
