Lived there for a while.. 6 yrs in Iowa back in the 80's.. put up a 50ft
tower and tribander.. never heard much.. seldom heard anything at
all!!.. it just sat there most of the time..
Whoever, at the FCC, assigned the 'ZERO' to that part of the country
knew exactly what he was doing.. No wonder we have so many DXpeditions
going there.. It really is a foreign country!!
There's been many theories suggesting why its so bad..
Mine is that the natural ground is messed up by all the chemicals used
by the commerical farmers and the resulting negative excrements from the
cow and pig farms.. hi hi.. (whatever you do, don't ride a motorcycle
down a back road in Iowa)..
like I said.. lived there for 6 yrs.. finally wised up and got at first
opportunity!! Hi..
