I know you are not using an EFHW antenna, but it might help shed some light on using a CP.<br /><br />http://www.aa5tb.com/efha.html<br /><br />73!Casey Bahrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01638230726171327005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2968254002071870786.post-53206060122744272102011-08-03T06:24:24.465-04:002011-08-03T06:24:24.465-04:00Good morning Paul, some would say there even with ...Good morning Paul, some would say there even with the counterpoise it is still useless......but yes I hope to do much better now that it is being used with a counterpoise.VE9KK https://www.blogger.com/profile/04720839744779758420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2968254002071870786.post-67129168713882052102011-08-03T06:21:19.213-04:002011-08-03T06:21:19.213-04:00Hi Mike, a Miracle Whip without a counterpoise is ...Hi Mike, a Miracle Whip without a counterpoise is almost useless.

Yes for sure it solved my RFI troubles and it was lesson learned for me. <br /><br />Hi John, I too was very surprised by the AF1 when I first heard the results. I can now attest to fact that this unit is amazing.VE9KK https://www.blogger.com/profile/04720839744779758420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2968254002071870786.post-84986863153251277502011-08-02T16:45:58.483-04:002011-08-02T16:45:58.483-04:00Wow, I'm really surprised at how effective tha...Wow, I'm really surprised at how effective that filter is!

I got one behind the antennatuner for every band 160-6m. Even if you use whatever antenna it will do no harm I guess and it solves a lot of RFI problems. 73, BasPE4BAS, Bashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12958141238330445285noreply@blogger.com
