Hello Everybody, I am wondering if anybody has any ideas of what I can do to get on the air (HF). I reside in a first floor apartment that has Aluminum siding, so the apartment is basically a Farady cage. There is a balcony on the north side of the apartment. It has a wall about 5 feet high that faces North. The ceiling is about 8 feet high. The area of the balcony measures about 11 ft x 5 ft. I have a vertical on the balcony. It consists of an MFJ-1979 collapsible 17 ft antenna plus a Wolf River Coils SB-1000 adjustable loading coil. Any ideas or suggestions would be welcomed. Thank You in advance Best Regards and 73's Cedric WA2FTV With this connected to the radio, I do not hear any signals. I think I might be hearing something in the noise, but I am not sure. Residing in the Denver, CO area, I cannot pick up WWV. Being so close, I would think that I should at least pick this up, but I do not. |

It is a very bad sign when you can't hear anything. |
