I worked 9L8MD from northern Ohio 2025-11-05 at 00:30 UTC. I was amazed to
hear them at all, since my noise level seems to be high here. I seem to
consistently get out better than I can hear. Perhaps my AZILOOP helped out a
bit. Still experimenting with it. Transmit antenna is a 65' tall tee with
about 30-40 65 ft radials (absorbed by the grass/ground) fed from the ground
through an MFJ998RT remote tuner.My AZILOOP seems to be working better than my
previous 2x 200 ft RBOGs that never seemed to hear any better than my transmit
antenna.
