After the winter using my pole for the 500kHz antenna, I've now replaced the 500kHz spiral topped wire with my Homebase-10 halo antenna for 28MHz that appeared in PW a few years back. Using G4IKZ 18kms away to receive my WSPR signal, I see the reports leapt up by at least 14dB, so it is certainly working well. I shall try the antenna and feeder (strapped together) this evening to see how it performs on 500kHz. I'd expect it to be some 10dB down on the original 500kHz antenna.
