Is it just my set up, Icom r75 with 100ft of speaker wire facing north, I'm on the 4th floor and the 100ft of wire is out on my balcony.
I have not been able to pick up very much on the bands this summer compared to last year, I had real good luck picking up everything, shortwave broadcast and utility station but this year I have a lot of background noise and many of the signal are very week, can someone tell me what to expect in the coming months as far as Propagation conditions, Also I have just ordered a EF-SWL Antenna and will be getting this in a couple of weeks, hope this will be a better antenna then the 100ft of speaker wire.
I am in Fort Erie Ontario Canada 20 miles from Niagara Falls Ontario
Any information appreciated
thanks, Steve
