Hello All, Another DU propagation washout came with the rain this morning on the Oregon beach, as yesterday's favorable propagation seemed like a distant memory. 738-Tahiti was the only South

Hi Farmerik, There were some limited experiments here with spaced ferrite bars in FSL antennas, but to be honest the performance results were nothing to shout about. My own impression was that the
