LF Antenna in ANnapolis

[Frank Gentges]

Bob,

We want to run some tests for sure.  Either a Friday or Saturday overnighter
so we can try some receiving on European signals.  We got our setups pretty
well worked out so we can compare normal active antennas with *real* lf
antennas, side by side.  We will need a night free of nearby thunderstorms
for safety and free of North American thunderstorms if we exepect to hear any
good DX.  This probably means getting there prior to "April showers".  Late
February or March time frame would probably be what would work our for us.  I
just talked to Andre' and we agree we should do something while the
conditions are right.  What could you accomodate?
