I have no idea how well the antenna works, but the method of connecting

the
reisistor is very complicated. May I suggest:


Hi Tam, For receive only, a doublet antenna, as high as possible, with 50
ohm,or 75, or 300 ohm feedline will work well. I have no idea why people

want
to complicate receive antennas with resistors. Do you?

Hi Gary,
I use my 75 m antenna, which tops out at 70 feet for SWL listening. For 99%
of SWL listeners the limiting things are the poor IF filtering and overload
prone front ends. Also, I dont think you see a noise blanker in a sub $300
radio.
