Steve,
I don't know what a Fairhaven RD500 is. However, to hear the services you
want on HF, you need a radio with Single Sideband capability, and an IF
bandwidth of no more than 3 KHz.

Assuming the above is true, as a *first approximation* the longer the wire
and the higher up the better. A 100 foot wire, center fed with coax, and 50
feet up works quite well.
