~odern-cis? &io i s a u i t e Zvancerl from the earlv davs - at. Least in .&e wwb. Themod- ern directional t ran&it t ing antenna i s what we %re thinking of, B t t h i s t im i . I n fab t , so effective &re aome of them, that we have, a t times on a DX propan, morn that the . stat ion was no% on the air! So, we must take into conaideration jus t which wag each sta- tionla rrulls a re pointed. A eeasonago, KOLT DXed, and here i n the eaet, they were heard by only a laant few. Now, i n t h i o iesue, on anothsr page, i s printed a let ter from WSW, in which Mr. Schlosa explain8 aotnathing about the direct ional henna they are erecting f o r use on 970 kilocycles. Theme lcnow of the eompl&&ated antenna a p t a m i n use by W'TAO, Fl int , Michigan, which protects sevefn differenas diractions. Then you often run into the "ton of bricksw signal from a stat ion t r a n a i t t i n g with a direct ional antenna - which indicataa t h a t you a re "on the beam1, with Cheir t r a n n i t t i ng antenna. So, these days, don't always a s m e tha t a weak aignal is very f a r a w q , f o r it might be f a i r l y near by, but might be opeeating direotion&l&. Then a g d n , the strong aignal might be qui te remote - something l i k e that exhibited by when DX i s good, here i n the east . You can notiee the difference i n direat ional and non-lireational arrays, and here is one example - on 1080, aeveral members i n the eas t have reported hearing WI[U) , Louisville, Q., shortly before sign-off i n the twilight. Well, i t eo happens, NxM is a full-time station! They did not s ign o f f , but merely turned on the i r direct ional an- tenna a t sunset! That's how affective a direct ional wire aan be! Now, th id d i r e c t i o d busineas i a a180 important i n receiving antennas, but i s not so highly brf feotive aa on the transmitting end, For one exmple, your Editor has a NE-SW wire which is vary d i r e ectional i n favor of New hqland. By tuning to 840 kilorryclea i n the *dastima, and aa ing this wire, VTDB, New Britain, aan be heard very beautifully. By switching to anE-W an- tenna, WKNB goes r ight out, and WVPO, Stroud.sburg, Pennsylvania, taken over. The oame thinn can be done on 1450 every morning be%ween 1:00 and 1:30, simply by changing antenna I aan l i s t e n to e i the r RVDC or WOR. One anterlna w i l l favor the weat, anather the south, and SO on, By an arrangement with the lead-ins aonnected to single-pole, single-throw wiCched. One connnon wire i s connected to a l l , running to the antenna post of the se t , and a q one, a l l , erne, o r none of the d i f fe rent antennas oan be used. We heart i ly rec- orrn~nd th i s arrange~~ent , i f apaae pemi ta . Ard the birds i n your neighborhood w i l l l ik* i t , too - it'll give thm some other plsoe t o sit. We have not decided on the sabjeot of the nsxt article - 1% mi@$ ha wnething on thse new FCC tests - i f we get the info,
