Radio & Communication SW

Questi sono ascolti in onde corte, dai 49 metri andando in alto, fatti a Bocca di Magra (Liguria) e a Pescia (Toscana). Molti sono stati realizzati ancora una volta con la MaxiWhip, sempre realizzata con un filo di circa 7 metri e il balun 1:32. Stavolta ho usato due fili (invece di uno) di circa 5 metri come radiali. Confermo le impressioni positive. L'ho anche utilizzata con il mio portatile Eton E1 e anche con questo rx si è dimostrata molto performante e poco rumorosa. La mia filare di Pescia, lunga 30 metri, è molto più rumorosa, con un rapporto S/N peggiore della MaxiWhip.
