[R]esearch on DTH satellite TV service took me to a public website which is an archive going back to 1934. And boy, there is so much information there ..!<\/p>\n

Knowing that many of your readers\/contributors have made mention of using Beverage antennas I think this may make interesting reading. The report describes a method for accessing the performance of a Beverage, long wire, receiving antenna using off-air HF broadcast signals.<\/p>\n

[…]It looks like the lower the better. And yes, there\u2019s some heavy maths formula in there ..!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wow–you’re right, Kris! This is very useful information. I’ll skip the maths bit and just follow the advice! Thank you for sharing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
