The stations between 1500 and 1600 that the regular range doesn't reach, come in well.
I just strung up my first long wire, about 100ft of the 30awg supported at several points by insulators. Not terribly impressed, almost every DX station fades in and out, even relatively close ones. It doesn't seem to pick up much more than the 20 ft on the ceiling did. Time to learn about antennas, I guess.
And that horrible intermittent interference is still there..
