BURR,
For AFRTS at 10.320 MHz from Hawaii.
Try one of these two Antennas
SLOPER:
* Simple "Sloper" cut to about 97 Feet, that is 'Bottom Fed'
with an angle of 30 Degrees and an Apex of about 48 Feet.
* Position the "Sloper" so that the 'Slope of the Antenna' is
facing in the direction of Hawaii.
* Coax Cable Feed-in-Line with a Matching Transformer and
Ground Rod at the Bottom Feed Point would help a lot.
DIPOLE:
* Simple "Dipole" cut to about 47.7 Feet, that is 'Center Fed'
* Each Arm of the Dipole would be 23.8 Feet
* Height of the Dipole between 23.8 to 47.7 Feet
* Position the "Dipole" so that the 'Arms of the Dipole' are
Perpendicular to the direction of Hawaii. (Broadside)
* Coax Cable Feed-in-Line with a Balun and Ground Rod.

It's 7:45 here and I'm trying both day and night from Hawaii,
Nothing!!!
Here a bump from time to time.
I am 85 miles inland at the Ont. airport.
I am using my Sony AN1 with my YB 400.
I also tried these freq.'s at home on the Sat 800
and the Drake SW8 using a long wire.
So far, I just can't get them.
