the seller rfjunkie (who is not me and I have never meet him)
has a nice antenna kit that is about the same as the one universal
sells for $50+ and his is only $22 !!!!

I am happy with the value and performance of his products,
I use one of his interfaces

I highly recommend his stuff


TC,

I would agree.

I have one of RF Junkie's "SWL-1" 10:1 Shortwave Longwire Antenna Feeders;
a so called Magnetic Longwire Balun (MLB) and it works very well.

Actually RF junkie's "High-Z Shortwave Longwire Antenna" is not a Kit.
It is a 'ready-made' SWL Antenna and MLB that only needs Rigging and
a Coax Cable Feed-in-Line to be Listening with your favorite Radio.

I'd give it a try, since the EF-SWL is on back-order at Universal, but
the EF-SWL is only 45 feet long (taking up every available amount of
space I can possibly use for an antenna), where this antenna is 80
feet long. The Par Electronics antenna has gotten some great reviews,
even being only 45 feet long.
