I received strong 40 meter night-time dx with my 1,75 meter mobile whip antenna. Here are contacts between Africa and South America. The band was very clear of noise. It was about 100 meters from sea-level. As I drove down the manmade hill the dx-signals dropped from 59 to 44...
I was portable at one of the highest hills in southern Finland. 60 meters high, wet ground with clear takeoff to the east gave a good takeoff for dx-reception. I was suprised to hear Indonesia coming 59+10, like a local station on 80 meters! My antenna was only a windom antenna. The YC-station was 57 to my 1,75 meter mobile whip antenna!
I was portable at one of the highest hills in southern Finland. My simple windom antenna was pulling a very strong daytime signal from Indonesia. The hill is about 60 meters high with a clear takeoff to the east. My mobile whip was also perfoming very well here!
