First off, thanks everyone for replying I really apppreciate it!


OK, sorry for the lack of info here.

I have an ICOM PCR-100

The local AM station is AM 790 and it is about 20 miles away or so.
Specs.
"Class: B
Daytime Power / # of Towers: 5,000 watts / 6 / directional
Nighttime Power / # of Towers: 1,000 watts / 6 / directional"

I got about +40dB on it with ATT on.

WIth ATT off I get my needle pegged.

It is not really a sloper. I kinda just wove it in and out of the fence
posts every few feet.

Thanks again.

Really odd thing.

I am picking up news talk 1010 out of Toronto on 6070.

Is this normal? I live in Bay City MI.

Hi, I am going ot setup my own random/longwire.

I have alread about 50 feet of 50 Ohm RG-6 for the lead in.


I have about 50 feet of 2 conductor speaker wire, and about 200 feet of
4
conducter telephone wire.

First am I going to need a 9:1 transformer to make this work? My input
is
supposed to be 50 Ohm.


Is a sloper omni directional? If not which end goes to what area I want
to
listen to?

Thanks!
