Yes they seem to be. I had the station packed up,we were going to move but changed plans and I got it set up again last weekend. Conditions are better than they were earlier in the fall. I still don't get a lot of DX with the wet noodle though!

I need to redeploy that 66’ thing.

EF-40 is what I have. pretty good general purpose antenna and 40m is the sweet spot.

I got a 35 foot mast that I was gonna hang that and some VHF UHF and a perhaps a tunable loop off of, but I have never had time to sink the thing into the ground.
