So what do we know so far? No one has used an extremely sharp directional
antenna like a loop,
but the Beverages, KA9Ys, etc. from Maine to NC seem to be roughly pointing to
the mid-Atlantic area
like NJ, NYC, Delaware? I am in central NJ 15 mi east of Trenton, and the
signal here is not
extremely loud (S5 on a NE/SW Beverage, bidirectional).
If it was thought to be local to me (few hours drive) I would spend an
afternoon hunting it
down with a loop antenna, but we sure could use some additional data points
from stations
with loops with sharp nulls to get us headed in the right direction.
Ideas for simple, useful loops would be helpful.
One thing I would suggest - standardize on receiver settings. I used CW, 400
Hz bandwidth on my K3,
no preamp of course.
