    hi all,
    I have a few days off in November and want to play antennas in the rain :)


    In my experience antennas work better if you put them up in a driving
    snow. Anyone else tested this theory?

    I've heard that, but never tested. It rarely snows here. So rare in
    fact, I'd probably rather go build a snowman than work on antennas in
    that case. MK

    I compared a dipole and a loop , why i prefer the loop over the dipole ?
    the loop is quieter ,

    A dummy load packed in dry ice may be slightly better.
