So I've got an old Allied SX-190 reciever I've had in storage for years,
lately I've been itching to get it set up somewhere in the house but I
need
some ideas on a decent antenna.
If the RCVR has been in storage for a long time see if you can get
hold of a two amp variac and bring it up to line voltage over the course
of a few seconds rather than turning it on instantly from cold.
It was stored for about a year, not a real long time, I just never got
around to setting it up again since I moved. At any rate I already powered
it up the other day to play around with it, still works fine.
